Luminetx Ships First VeinViewer(GS) Model Overseas



    Luminetx Corp. today announced it has shipped its first
    VeinViewer(GS) units overseas, officially marking the company´s
    entrance into the international marketplace. The "GS" unit, standing
    for "Global Standard," was specifically designed to meet the rigorous
    quality requirements for the international marketplace.

    This development comes only a few weeks after Luminetx signed its
    first international distribution contracts for its signature product

    the VeinViewer by Luminetx(R), with Pacific Medical, Inc., Sanitas and
    The Golden Triangle Organization.

    The VeinViewer is a vascular imaging system that allows
    physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to clearly see
    accessible vasculature (or lack thereof) in real time. The device uses
    a combination of near-infrared light and patented technologies to
    image vascular structures and projects their location directly on the
    surface of the skin. This provides clinicians with a safe

    non-invasive adjunct technology for clinical treatments and procedures
    including, but not limited to: IV insertions, PICC line insertions

    routine venipuncture (blood sampling), blood and plasma donations and
    treatment for varicose and spider veins.

    "This is quite a significant milestone for our company and for
    patients around the world," said Chris Schnee, vice president of
    global marketing for Luminetx. "2008 will be heralded as a major year
    of growth for Luminetx, especially in the international arena, and
    we´re looking forward to doing all we can to ensure this technology
    becomes a standard of care across the globe. As part of our global
    expansion strategy, we expect to be in eight to 10 strategically
    chosen international markets by the close of the year."

    In December 2007, the VeinViewer technology received EC and ISO
    13485:2003 certifications - thus allowing shipment to European
    countries and continuing the expansion of the Luminetx global
    strategy. The new generation of the VeinViewer meeting these European
    quality certifications is known as the VeinViewer(GS) model. This GS
    model will be offered to both international and domestic clients as
    Luminetx´s flagship product.

    Per Rodney Schutt, COO of Luminetx, "What´s important for our
    global clients to know is that the Luminetx mission to bring ´a better
    way´ to venous access respects that every region and culture has
    different needs. Through choosing highly respected and proven partners
    around the world to represent our company, we ensure that the benefit
    of VeinViewer is brought to patients with unwavering commitment to
    bettering their care."
