Medis Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDTL) announced today that it has
received a special permit (SP -14504) from the U.S. Department of
Transportation which authorizes aircraft passengers and crew members
to carry up to three 24/7 Power Pack micro fuel cell devices for
personal use aboard aircraft on one's person or in carry-on baggage
without being subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR).
The outer casing of each Medis 24/7 Power Pack micro fuel cell device
must be legibly and durably marked with the following: "DOT SP-14504
APPROVED FOR CARRIAGE IN AIRCRAFT" and the fuel cell must be of the
same design as tested and passed the UL2265C certification

24/7 Power Packs on passenger carrying aircraft," said Robert K.
Lifton, Chairman & CEO of Medis Technologies Ltd. "Our Medis
scientists have worked diligently to make sure that our Power Pack
meets the most stringent safety regulations. We are proud to be the
developer and producer of the first fuel cell to be allowed on
passenger carrying aircraft by the DOT as well as the first consumer
fuel cell to be listed by the Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) and that
our fully automated line in Ireland has successfully passed initial
production inspection by the UL. We pledge our continued commitment to
the safety of our fuel cell products while at the same time, they
continue to be green to the benefit of the environment."
