Business Summary
Optical Sensors, Inc. is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing fiberoptic chemical sensors used in the monitoring of key physiologic parameters for medically unstable patients. Since October 1998, the Company has been focusing its resources on development and commercialization of the CapnoProbe, which is a handheld device with a carbon dioxide (CO/2/) probe that is slipped under the tongue like a thermometer. The CapnoProbe non-invasively measures the tissue CO/2/ of the mucous membrane in the mouth; this is a sensitive measure that can indicate reduced blood flow to non-vital organs. In December 2000, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the CapnoProbe. Since January 1999, the Company has been exploring strategic alternatives, including joint ventures, corporate strategic alliances, sale of the business or product lines, or other business combinations.
