VeriTeQ Symposium to Educate Leading Plastic Surgeons on its Q Inside Safety Technology for Breast Implants and Other Implanted Medical Devices

VeriTeQ Corporation (“VeriTeQ” or “Company”) (OTC Markets:VTEQ), a provider of implantable medical device identification and radiation dose measurement technologies, announced today that it is sponsoring and presenting at the 11th IQUAM (the International Committee for Quality Assurance, Medical Technologies and Devices in Plastic Surgery) Congress and Consensus Conference April 10-13, 2014, in Budapest, Hungary. VeriTeQ’s President, Randolph Geissler, will host a symposium to educate plastic surgeons on the Company’s Q Inside Safety Technology, currently being used in breast implants.

VeriTeQ’s FDA cleared Q Inside Safety Technology acts as an electronic serial number in breast implants and other implantable and reusable medical devices to give physicians and patients access to a secure online database to retrieve device-specific data such as serial number, manufacturer name, date of manufacture, lot number, volume, size, and other data from the device manufacturer. Q Inside Safety Technology also provides an extra level of protection to the patient in the event of a recall or other safety event.

IQUAM, established in 1992, is a professional data-generating medical and scientific organization dedicated to the assurance of the safe use of medical devices, technologies and procedures in plastic surgery, as well as to ensuring patient safety.

“We look forward to this opportunity to educate the global plastic surgery community on our Q Inside Safety Technology, which is now being used in breast implants,” said Scott R. Silverman, VeriTeQ’s Chairman and CEO. “Following two broad recalls of breast implants in the EU, we believe patients and surgeons alike will demand accurate device verification of implants and the added level of security offered by our Q Inside Safety Technology.”
