SPO MEDICAL SYSTEMS develops and manufactures vital sign monitoring devices. Unique, patented Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO) is cutting edge technology supplying rapid and reliable mobile response. RPO monitors, non-invasively, blood oxygen saturation and heart rate while attached to a single side of the body. Small low-powered battery sensors incorporate wireless functionality, accurate even during physical activity.
Conventional pulse Oximetry is limited to areas, such as fingers and earlobes. Physiological conditions such as stress and temperature can affect the accuracy of these conventional devices.
Innovative aspects:
*RPO technology sensors precisely capture vital cardiovascular parameters such as pulse rate and pulse rhythm.
*Low power consumption, enabling continuous monitoring in non-clinical environments
*Does not require tight skin contact. This prevents common occlusions and discomfort and can be worn comfortably around the clock
*Wireless monitoring functionality
*Small and lightweight, easily embedded in wristwatch-type devices
*Not limited by physical activity
A new sophisticated product developed to assist mentally disabled persons in vital sign monitoring and in preventing suicides among prisoners is currently used by the Israeli Prisons Service.
Partners are sought to distribute and provide technical support for varied product lines.

Focus on new consumer wellness products for OTC sales
NEW YORK, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- SPO Medical Inc. (SPOM), a leading developer of biosensor and microprocessor technologies for use in portable monitoring devices, announced today that it has partnered with HoMedics LLC for the distribution of a private-labeled, over-the-counter (OTC) pulse oximeter for non-medical consumer wellness applications. This new product, known as the HoMedics Deluxe Pulse Oximeter is currently being promoted and sold in North America.
The oximeter is based on patented Optimetrix™ technology which uses proprietary optical techniques to measure certain vital sign measurements for a variety of consumer wellness applications. In the United States, the Deluxe Pulse Oximeter was launched during 4th quarter 2012 at CVS stores, and HoMedics sees substantial upside potential to expand in the drug channel and beyond during 2013. Furthermore, HoMedics will look to increase distribution worldwide via its extensive network in over 60 countries.
Michael Braunold, Chief Executive Officer of SPO commented: "We've been working with HoMedics since early summer 2012 and have made tremendous progress together, with the successful introduction of the HoMedics Deluxe Pulse Oximeter to US consumers. As market awareness for wellness products strengthens and grows, our partnership with the oximeter and future products under development creates promising opportunities for both companies. Our decision to distribute under the HoMedics private-label has afforded us access to mass-market retailers worldwide and we plan on expanding our product portfolio to further leverage on our joint-success to date".
SPO views the general wellness product category as a major growth opportunity by leveraging its technology to monitor information related to general leisure/sport activities.

This product will include unique innovative features as well as being a fashionable time-piece to continuously measure the number of daily activities and calories burned against a recommended goal.
