SALEM, N.H. -- AgaMatrix, Inc., a privately held developer and manufacturer of blood glucose monitoring products, announced today that it has received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration to sell its high accuracy discrete blood glucose monitoring system ("BGMS"),

the Wave 1(TM). The Wave 1(TM) system is being distributed in the US by Liberty Medical(TM), as its Liberty(TM) brand BGMS, and by other distributors internationally.

The Liberty(TM) BGMS incorporates dozens of proprietary technologies, conceptualized and substantiated over several years of research and development, to provide users with industry-leading, world-class accuracy for safer testing.

The Liberty(TM) BGMS features a number of unique functions including a unit of measurement safety lock designed to prevent misinterpretation of results, a double redundant power supply for more reliable data memory, 6 user settable alarms, and both hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic alerts.
