Item 8.01 Other Items.
On January 23, 2012, ZYTO Corp (the “Company”) announced that it had received notice and confirmation from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) stating that the Company’s patent application for “Methods and Devices for Analyzing and Comparing Physiological Parameter Measurements” (the “Patent”) was issued on January 17, 2012, and given Patent No. 8,099,159.
The Patent covers the methods and devices that are capable of measuring physiological parameters of at least two contact points and determining whether the measured parameters reflect favorable or unfavorable physiological responses are disclosed herein. As noted in the application for the Patent filed with the USPTO, the invention encompasses a method that can non-invasively monitor physiological parameters of at least two contact points before and after a stimulus is applied to a subject and compare the measured parameters to determine whether the physiological state of the subject is favorable or unfavorable.
The Company uses the patented method of measuring the skin’s galvanic response to stimuli to provide information to healthcare professionals about an individual’s health and healthcare options.
Dr. Vaughn R Cook is listed as the inventor, and Dr. Cook has assigned the Patent to the Company.
The grant of the Patent follows the notification received from the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in August 2011, that the Company’s Premarket Notification (the “Notification”), submitted pursuant to Section 510(k) of the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “Act”) had been approved. The Company filed the Notification in May of 2011, and on August 30, 2011, the FDA issued its determination that the Hand Cradle was substantially equivalent to other Galvanic skin response measurement devices.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 23, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the grant of the Patent by the USPTO. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this section of this Report shall not be deemed filed for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing.
