Know Labs, Inc. announced that it has received approval from an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the protocol of its upcoming internal clinical trial. This brings the company one step closer to its FDA pre-submission meeting and to launching what it believes will be the first non-invasive glucose monitoring devices. The clinical trial will be performed at Know Labs' new research and development laboratory in Seattle.

Blood glucose readings for participants will be taken every five minutes with a Bio-RFID prototype, an Accu-Chek® fingerstick device, and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), such as Dexcom® G6 or Abbott FreeStyle® Libre, if the participant is already prescribed a CGM, over a period of three to five hours. During the test, participants will drink a glucola drink with 75 grams of sugar, which should change participants' blood glucose levels and provide Bio-RFID with the opportunity to accurately measure the changes. The IRB is an FDA registered constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects.
