(ASX: ISN; OTCQX: ISOAD) today announced that it submitted a 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday, September 27, to market the SonoSentry™, a rebranded non-prescription version of its personal Wheezometer™, over the counter to consumers.

Like the Wheezometer, the SonoSentry measures a person's wheeze, a principal symptom of asthma.  Using iSonea's proprietary Acoustic Respiratory Monitoring (ARM™) technology, SonoSentry calculates a WheezeRATE™, the percentage of breathing time spent wheezing.

"Having the SonoSentry available over-the-counter will make our unique ARM technology more broadly accessible," said Michael J. Thomas, CEO of iSonea Ltd. "The SonoSentry provides an objective measurement of wheezing and can help asthmatics to monitor this symptom more accurately and easily."

Once the filing is officially accepted by the agency, the typical review period is 90 days.
