TEMPE, AZ--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - Connectyx (PINKSHEETS: [ CTYX ]) -- In a medical emergency, doctors or medical technicians often have little time to work to help a person in distress, and the more details they can have at their fingertips, the better. MedFlash works to help in these situations by providing medical professionals with important records about a patient immediately. Due to a new partnership between MedFlash and LifeLock, the industry leader in identity theft protection, MedFlash users can take advantage of a discounted offer on LifeLock's identity theft protection services.

The MedFlash device attaches to key chains or necklaces and hold vital medical records including blood type, allergy information, x-rays and additional information that can be helpful in a medical emergency. Through the partnership with LifeLock, those who purchase a MedFlash memory stick will be able to receive LifeLock's comprehensive identity theft protection services at a discounted rate, including a 30-day trial period. The LifeLock discount offer applies to all new purchases of the MedFlash device, which can be found in many grocery and drug stores as well as online at [ www.med-flash.com ]. Consumers using the MedFlash device will still have access to the medical information on the memory stick while LifeLock's services work to protect that personal information from identity thieves.

"Medical identity theft is growing at an alarming rate. At the same time, each of us are looking to provide doctors and hospitals easy access to vital information during an emergency," said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. "In time of a medical emergency, the last thing you want to worry about is an identity thief stealing your good name. But by joining forces with MedFlash, LifeLock is better able to provide peace of mind while those who are in the position to save lives can do just that."

Based in Florida, Connectyx, parent company for MedFlash, faces one of the fastest growing identity theft markets in the United States. Listed as one of the top five states for the crime in 2008, according to the Federal Trade Commission's 2008 report on identify theft, residents of Florida reported more than 24,400 cases of identity theft last year. According to that same FTC report, government documents and benefits fraud accounted for 18 percent of those cases, totaling just fewer than 4,500 in 2008.

"The safety of our users is our top priority, and it's at the center of our MedFlash product," said Ronn Schuman, Cennectyx President and CEO. "We are excited by our partnership with LifeLock and the ability it gives us to assure our customers that their personal information will be better guarded, yet available to the medical experts that can help them should they ever be faced with a medical emergency."
