LidoSite(R) Now Available to Patients in Physician Offices
Monday August 13, 9:00 am ET
Physician Offices Can Begin Ordering LidoSite At 888-VYTERIS
FAIR LAWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marking an advance in the widespread distribution of rapid pain relief from procedures involving venipuncture, intravenous cannulation and laser ablation of superficial skin lesions, Vyteris, Inc. (OTCBB: VYHN - News) announced the commercial availability of LidoSite® to the 40 million American patients in physician offices who are needle averse or even phobic.
"This marks a significant step in the treatment of pain resulting from needles and laser ablation and provides physicians and patients a new and powerful tool in improving patient comfort," said Timothy J. McIntyre, president and chief executive officer for Vyteris, Inc. "As a fast-acting alternative to topical creams or simply trying to ignore needle pain, we believe LidoSite will be well-received by patients and physicians."
With close to one billion blood draws taken a year in the U.S., according to a study by market research firm TVG, it is estimated that each year approximately 40 million American patients experienced "high discomfort" with blood draws due to needle pain(1). An overwhelming majority of the surveyed patients who experienced "high discomfort" - 65 percent indicated they intended to use or ask for LidoSite at their next blood draw - representing an initial potential U.S. market for LidoSite of 26 million patients annually for this segment alone.
Working alongside its marketing partner in Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings (LabCorp®) (NYSE:LH - News) in the general practice physician market, Vyteris also announced the retention of experienced specialty sales representatives to make LidoSite broadly available in high demand specialties such as rheumatology, oncology and dermatology.
"Launching LidoSite into the U.S. physician office market represents a strategic and significant accomplishment for Vyteris by offering the first real, scalable product commercialization by the company on its own," McIntyre said. "This knocks down yet another important strategic benchmark outlined to our shareholders at the beginning of the year and is another important step in our three-year growth plan."
LidoSite is the first active transdermal patch approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to deal with pain associated with blood draws (venipuncture) IV (intravenous) cannulations and laser ablation of superficial skin lesions. The device uses the process of iontophoresis to carry a combination of the local anesthetic lidocaine and vasoconstrictor epinephrine, which localizes the anesthetic effect, from a patch through the skin layer and into the underlying tissue by way of a mild electrical current.
LidoSite is composed of a heart-shaped controller that houses a microprocessor regulating dosing of medication, intervals and duration of dosing and is good for up to 99 patch applications.
The use of LidoSite is supported by the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Technical Evaluation Center (TEC), which indicated that "use of iontophoresis to administer local anesthetic before skin puncture or dermal procedures meets the TEC criteria." Various Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance plans have also previously issued medical practice guidelines supporting TEC findings and indicating that "iontophoresis is considered medically necessary to administer local anesthesia prior to a venipuncture or dermatological procedure." (2)
The American Pain Society (APS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) set forth guidelines(3) for adequately addressing acute - or short-lived - pain. These guidelines, which apply to the treatment of children and adults, call for healthcare practitioners to eliminate or reduce pain caused by medical treatments whenever possible. In fact, the APS and AAP agree that acute pain experienced with medical procedures can, in most cases, be substantially reduced and even prevented

Vyteris, Inc. Announces Hiring of Specialty Sales and Marketing Team for Commercialization of LidoSite(R)
Wednesday August 8, 9:00 am ET
Physician Offices Can Begin Ordering LidoSite(R) At 888-VYTERIS
FAIR LAWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vyteris, Inc. (OTCBB: VYHN - News) kicked off the nationwide commercial availability of its LidoSite® transdermal patch with the deployment of a specialty sales and marketing team dedicated to the promotion and sale of LidoSite into targeted physician specialty offices, including rheumatologists, oncologists, and dermatologists.
LidoSite provides patients with rapid pain relief from procedures involving venipuncture, intravenous cannulation and laser ablation of superficial skin lesions. To head up the sales and marketing efforts, the hiring of Eric Pluckhorn as senior vice president of sales and marketing was also announced.
"The retention of an experienced pharmaceutical and medical device sales force marks our nationwide launch into the highly lucrative physician office market for LidoSite," said Timothy J. McIntyre, president and chief executive officer for Vyteris, Inc. "We believe the market for LidoSite is robust with patients, physicians and nurses looking for an effective alternative to topical cream anesthetics and distraction techniques to avoid pain associated with venipuncture/needle pain."
With more than one billion blood draws taken a year in the U.S.,(1) a recent study by market research firm TVG, Inc. found that approximately 40 million patients a year experience "high discomfort" with blood draws due to needle pain.(2)
An overwhelming majority of the surveyed patients who experienced "high discomfort" - 65 percent in this case - indicated they intended to use or ask for LidoSite at their next blood draw; a potential U.S. market for LidoSite of 26 million patients annually.
The new specialty sales and marketing team will include specialty sales representatives and management positions to support physicians and their staffs in training on LidoSite, and in-service specialists. This exclusive team will work alongside Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings (LabCorp®) (NYSE:LH - News), Vyteris' marketing partner in the general practice physician office market.
"I look forward to the opportunity to guide the sales growth and adoption of LidoSite into physician offices where we believe it can become a preferred treatment prior to cannulation procedures such as blood draws, venipuncture, IV catheter insertions or use prior to superficial dermatological procedures," Pluckhorn said. "We have assembled a talented and strong sales team of experienced professionals who are eager to implement our marketing effort."
In another recent clinical study by INC Research(3), more than half of rheumatology physicians surveyed found LidoSite exceeded their expectations with regard to positively impacting their patient's experience. Overall, the majority of physicians in the study were satisfied with the LidoSite Topical System in its ease of use and conformity to standard office practices for rheumatology treatment applications.
LidoSite is the first active transdermal patch approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to deal with pain associated with venipuncture for injections, intravenous cannulation for blood draws and laser ablation of superficial skin lesions. The device uses the process of iontophoresis to carry a combination of the pain killer lidocaine and epinephrine, which localizes the anesthetic effect, from a patch through the skin layer and into the underlying tissue by way of a mild electrical current.
LidoSite is composed of a heart-shaped controller housing a microprocessor regulating dosing of medication, intervals and duration of dosing and is good for up to 99 patch applications. Physicians interested in ordering LidoSite or receiving more information, can call 888-VYTERIS (898-3747) or go to www.vyteris.com/lidosite.

Vyteris, Inc. Announces LidoSite(R) Marketing Agreement with LabCorp(R)
Monday June 11, 3:24 pm ET
FAIR LAWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vyteris, Inc. (OTCBB: VYHN - News) today announced an agreement granting Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings (LabCorp®) (NYSE: LH - News), a national leader in clinical laboratory testing, rights to represent and offer Vyteris' LidoSite®, the first FDA-approved active transdermal smart patch for relief from pain associated with venipunctures and blood draws among certain patients. The agreement allows LabCorp to make LidoSite available for outpatient use to physician offices nationally.
"We are very pleased to have entered into this agreement with LabCorp, which has the infrastructure and track record of introducing new products to the market to improve patient care," said Timothy J. McIntyre, chief executive officer of Vyteris.
Vyteris' proprietary active transdermal drug delivery (iontophoresis) technology delivers drugs comfortably through the skin using low-level electrical energy. This active patch technology allows more precise dosing, giving physicians and patients control in the rate, dosage and pattern of drug delivery that can result in considerable therapeutic, economical, and lifestyle advantages over existing methods of drug administration.
In conjunction with physician guidance, clinical laboratory testing remains one of the most cost-effective ways to help assess, diagnose, treat and monitor patient health. However, 20-25 percent of patients may be pain sensitive or needle phobic, which may interfere with compliance with physician orders for blood testing. LidoSite helps to remove this barrier and can lead to improved patient care and better health outcomes.
Under the terms of the agreement, LabCorp will be the only independent clinical laboratory in the U.S. offering LidoSite for outpatient use to physicians. Further details were not disclosed.
