1. BDS is a PC-based device with disposable sensors
- Device: @$25,000
- Set of Sensors: @$25
2. 15 minute test - instant results
3. Safe: No X-rays
4. Office-based and easy to learn
5. Less expensive and more convenient than existing technologies
Simple easy-to-read output / Objective patient management
Effectiveness:
The (BDS) accuracy level is extremely higher than other breast cancer
detection methods identifying 30 % more cancers in women currently
being missed by mammograms.
Thus eliminating the risk of malpractice
suits against physicians for missing a problem
even with a woman’s
attempts at early detection.
Expense:
The (BDS) technology is up to ten times less than mammography machines
and is equally more cost effective to the patient undergoing the
screening.
Safety & Possible Side Effects
The Biofield Diagnostic System is safe
- There is no use of radiation
-
No compression of the breast and virtually no pain to the patient
During clinical trials, less than 0.005% of patients reported any
discomfort during the exam. Minor redness in the area of the sensor
placement was reported, however, all were mild in severity. All
were transient. One of these patients also had incidences of itching
at two sensor sites as well as on the back. Although the multiple
events in the one patient lasted for five to twelve days, the patient
was successfully treated with topical vitamin E. These adverse effects
were attributed to local dermal reactions to the electro conductive
medium (ECM) or the acrylic adhesive material used to apply the
sensors. Some discomfort to skin from removal of sensors may also
be expected. One other patient experienced transient mild anxiety.
The BDS is superior to existing modalities at each level of prevalence.
In the grid below,
we compare the BDS to the common diagnostic modalities.
We use the U.S. and Europe data because the tested population is more
comparable in cancer prevalence to the other studies quoted. The
BDS offers clear superiority in specificity, thereby offering more definitive
negative results.
