FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- StatSure
Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (OTC:SSUR) (BULLETIN BOARD: SSUR) is
pleased to announce that its patented barrel technology has been
introduced to the U.S. market by Inverness Medical (AMEX:IMA). In a
deal signed in September 2006, Inverness became the exclusive,
worldwide distributor of StatSure's patented platform for use in a
rapid, point-of-care HIV test. Pursuant to a license from SSUR,
Chembio Diagnostic Systems (OTC:CEMI) (BULLETIN BOARD: CEMI) is the
exclusive manufacturer of this test for Inverness. SSUR's
technology will be marketed by IMA under the Inverness Clearview(R)
brand. Detailed information on this product is available at

Clearview COMPLETE HIV 1/2 is an FDA approved, qualitative
screening test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2
in human whole blood, serum and plasma. SSUR's Chairman and CEO,
Steve Peltzman, noted: "We are excited to commence the
commercialization phase of this product technology and are
thoroughly convinced that IMA's distribution strengths, here and
around the world, will maximize its market penetration." The test
utilizes a single lateral flow test strip which displays its result
through visual observation. Clearview COMPLETE HIV 1/2 is a
single-use, self contained closed system for the collection,
processing and analysis of the physiologic sample designed to
provide the safest and easiest product of its type. The StatSure
format is unique in that there is no transfer of the sample to the
test. The sample is absorbed directly into the test by capillary
action with no exposure to sample as the blood sample is enclosed
within the barrel.* About StatSure StatSure Diagnostic Systems,
Inc. (OTCBB: SSUR) is engaged in the development, manufacture and
marketing of rapid immunoassay tests for the detection of sexually
transmitted and other infectious diseases; in addition, the Company
has developed and is marketing a product line of patented,

same easy-to-use technology platform, thus facilitating the
