HealthSonix Inc. (OTC: HSXI) (February 11, 2008) announced Monday that it is has approved the final sample of its second generation enSonix medical device. Shipments of finished product are expected to commence in the second quarter.

The enSonix personal treatment device has been registered and cleared with the United States, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and has been designated as a class1 device, the safest classification for medical devices. It has been indicated for pain reduction and muscle relaxation.

"With this new medical device, we offer our customers affordable, effective arthritis pain relief without side effects. Patients can use it in the comfort of their own homes. The enSonix therapy is especially effective when used in combination with the most popular pain relievers. There is an incremental therapeutic benefit when you combine therapies," said Dieter Doederlein, Vice President of Corporate Development. "Arthritis is still the number one cause of chronic pain in North America and the HealthSonix breakthrough medical technology is very timely as the population segment most susceptible to arthritis will double over the next 20 years." The sound pressure waves generated by the enSonix medical device are believed to work in three ways: they stimulate mechanoreceptors in the skin, which in turn communicate with the brain and block pain messages from getting through (gate control theory of pain); they create an exercise effect in the muscles, which encourages the production and release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers; and increase in blood circulation.

"Our objective is very clear; deliver as much product this year as we can to fulfill significant order back log that has been created over the past 12 months and to focus on development and expansion of distribution and sales channels for all of our consumer products," added Mr. Doederlein.

HealthSonix, Inc. is a publicly traded research oriented medical technology company that develops and markets medical devices and healthcare products for institutional and consumer use. The company's patent pending medical devices deliver sound pressure waves to the human body for relief of pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. The focus is on arthritis, athletic injuries and conditions where acute or chronic pain is the cardinal symptom.
