Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 2 - Basis of Presentation (a) Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted on April 5, 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. (b) Use of Estimates and Judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes for revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs, impairment of intangible assets and valuation of share based payments. (c) Functional and Presentation Currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in U.S. Dollars has been rounded to the nearest dollar. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains or Losses, resulting from loans and cash balances denominated in Foreign Currencies, are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. (d) Comprehensive Income The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 220 in reporting comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to 3 months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts are shown as part of trade and other payables in the consolidated balance sheet. (b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and trade and other payables. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The fair value of marketable securities is described in Note 3(c). (c) Fair Value Measurement – Marketable Securities The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include ● quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; ● quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; ● inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; ● inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. (d) Trade Receivables, Trade Receivables – Related Party and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The carrying amounts of current trade receivables is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and approximate their fair value given their short term nature. The normal credit terms extended to customers ranges between 30 and 90 days. The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses, makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, allowances for doubtful accounts for trade receivables were $1,010,196 and $864,000. Bad debt expenses for trade receivables were $146,196 and $864,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. (e) Concentration of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business primarily related to trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. All of the Company’s cash is maintained with Fulton Bank of New Jersey, Bank of America, NA and PayPal. The funds are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $250,000, but are otherwise unprotected. The Company placed $67,865 and $369,525 with Fulton Bank of New Jersey, $795 and $28,494 with Bank of America, NA and $4,040 and $4,040 with PayPal as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. No losses have been incurred in these accounts. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exists as approximately 75% of the Company’s product revenue is generated by three customers. These customers accounted for 30% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2016. In order to limit such risks, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. (f) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average principle, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other income” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss on the accelerated basis over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Useful Life (in years) Plant and equipment 5-12 Furniture and fixtures 5-10 Computer equipment & software 3-5 Shorter of the Leasehold Improvements remaining lease or estimated useful life Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. (h) Intangible Assets (i) Patents and Trade Secrets The Company has developed or acquired several diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of various substances in a person’s breath, blood, urine and saliva. Propriety protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has ten patents from the United States Patent Office in effect (9,383,368; 7,896,167; 8,097,171; 8,003,061; 8,425,859; 8,871,521; 8,808,639; D691,056; D691,057 and D691,058). Other patents are in effect in Australia through the Design Registry (348,310; 348,311 and 348,312), European Union Patents 1793906, 2684025, 002216895-0001; 002216895-0002 and 002216895-0003), in Hong Kong (HK11004006) and in Japan (1,515,170; 4,885,134; 4,931,821 5,775,790, and 6023096). Patents are in the national phase of prosecution in many Patent Cooperation Treaty participating countries. Additional proprietary technology consists of numerous different inventions. The Company intends to file additional patent applications, where appropriate, relating to new products, technologies and their use in the U.S., European and Asian markets. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets) using all legal remedies available to the Company. (ii) Patent Costs Costs associated with applying for patents are capitalized as patent costs. Once the patents are approved, the respective costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (maximum of 17 years) on a straight-line basis. Patent pending costs for patents that are not approved are charged to operations the year the patent is rejected. In addition, patents may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining useful life. (iii) Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have definite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. (iv) Amortization Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Useful Life (in years) Patents and trademarks 12-17 Customer lists 5 (i) Recoverability of Long Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets. (j) Investments In accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following: a) Representation on the Board of Directors b) Participation in policy-making processes c) Material intra-entity transactions d) Interchange of management personnel e) Technological dependencies f) Extent of ownership and the ability to influence decision making based upon the makeup of other owners when the shareholder group is small. The Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the cost method. Investments recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for using the cost method to the equity method of valuation. On March 9, 2015, the Company contributed capital of $64,675 in Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, resulting in a 19.9% ownership interest. The contribution was adjusted downward to $64,091 on April 8, 2015; the net effect of the currency conversion when the contribution was processed in Hainan. This is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and is accounted for using the cost method. (k) Revenue Recognition In accordance with FASB ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer based on shipping terms. The Company typically does not accept returns nor offer charge backs or rebates except for certain distributors. Revenue recorded is net of any discount, rebate or sales return. The accrual for estimated sales returns $- as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company implemented a significant price increase for certain PIFA products effective May 1, 2015 and a standard dealer cost model during the year ended December 31, 2016. In an effort to phase in these changes, the programs include a provision for rebates to the distributors under limited circumstances. The Company has established an accrual of $41,120 and $233,542, which is a reduction of revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Accounts receivable will be reduced when the rebates are applied by the customer. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $471,949 and $438,360 in rebates, which is included as a reduction of product revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement. When the Company enters into arrangements that contain more than one deliverable, the Company allocates revenue to the separate elements under the arrangement based on their relative selling prices in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25. (l) Income Taxes The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. (m) Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs The Company charges actual shipping plus a handling fee to customers, which amounted to $54,928 and $56,537 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These fees are classified as part of product revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Shipping and other related delivery costs, including those for incoming raw materials are classified as part of the cost of net revenue, which amounted to $138,662 and $115,423 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. (n) Research and Development Costs In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. (o) Stock-based Payments The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Under FASB ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the stock warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards to non-employees on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the period which services are to be received. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to vesting or prior to completion of services, the fair value of equity based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurement until the equity based payments are fully vested or the service is completed. (p) Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered anti-dilutive, i.e. the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market price of the common stock. (q) Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. (r) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (s) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted As the Company is an emerging growth company, it has elected to adopt recently issued standards based on effective dates applicable to nonpublic entities. All effective dates as mentioned in the following paragraphs refer to that applicable to nonpublic entities. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the amendments but it does not anticipate a material impact of its financial statements. The Company expects to use the modified retrospective adoption method. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments |

Management Plan | Note 4 - Management Plan Historically, the Company has relied upon public offerings and private placements of common stock to raise operating capital. During the three month period ending March 31, 2017, the Company raised approximately $1.7 million in a public offering and an additional $1.8 million from a private placement of common stock (Note 23). As of April 5, 2017, the Company had cash and marketable securities of approximately $2.3 million. The 2017-19 Strategic Business Plan (“Strat Plan”) was presented to and approved by the Board of Directors on December 12, 2016. The plan outlines the Company’s business objectives for the next three years and sets measurable targets for new product releases, sales and marketing programs to increase market penetration for the Company’s products and operational expense management. Implementation of the Strat Plan began in January 2017 and management remains confident that the objectives are achievable, however; during the first half of 2017, the Company may encounter limited periods of cash shortages and is proactively working to minimize their impact on operations. We anticipate maintaining a cash-flow positive position during the next twelve months based upon the revenue targets as outlined in the Strat Plan, the results of the private placement offering in March 2017 and the backing by a shareholder if required. In Addition, the Company has initiated discussions with our primary financial institution to establish a line of credit to manage short-term cash fluctuations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company significantly reduced operating expenses through a systematic review of operations throughout the organization. As a result, the Company achieved a reduction in our weekly operating cash requirements of approximately 19% to $80,253 (2015: $98,699). The Strat Plan assumes the weekly cash requirement to remain steady through the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company has achieved the reduction in weekly cash requirements by renegotiating contracts with key consultants and canceling consulting agreements where the cost-benefits are negligible, working with vendors to reduce or eliminate minimum purchasing requirements, to extend payment terms and re-sourcing materials when necessary to reduce costs. Production cost savings, especially direct manufacturing costs, have been realized by utilizing sub-contractors to perform labor intensive production processes. This improves efficiency for our manufacturing staff, allowing them to concentrate their efforts on more complex assembly and production tasks. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Company believes that it is probable that it will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due within one year after the financial statements are issued. |

The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentive to those officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company’s business. On January 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee of the Board, by unanimous written consent the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Stock and Award Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which increases the number of authorized shares of common stock subject to the Plan to 800,000 shares. On September 30, 2016, the Board of Directors increased the number of authorized shares of common stock subject to the Amended Plan to 830,000 shares. As of December 31, 2016, under the 2013 Amended Plan, grants of restricted stock and options to purchase 277,333 shares of common stock have been issued and are unvested or unexercised and 13,292 shares of common stock remain available for grants. The Amended Plan may be administered by the board or a board-appointed committee. Eligible recipients of option awards are employees, officers, consultants or directors (including non-employee directors) of the Company or of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. The board has the authority to grant to any eligible recipient any options, restricted stock or other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common stock. Qualified option holders may exercise their options at their discretion. Each option granted may be exchanged for a prescribed number of shares of common stock. On December 30, 2015, the Company approved the issuance of 30,000 options to purchase common shares to key employees at an exercise price of $1.23 per common share and 15,500 options to purchase common shares for services at a weighted average exercise price of $3.70 per common share. All options are immediately exercisable and carry a five-year expiration. On January 1, 2016, the Company approved the issuance of 12,500 options to purchase common shares to a key consultant for services at an exercise price of $3.70 per common share with vesting over one year.

The options carry a five-year expiration. The options and warrants issued under the above plan were valued using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions utilized in calculating the value of the issued options under Black Scholes are as follows: 2016 2015 Expected option term 5 yrs 5 yrs Expected volatility 95.02 % 82.86 % Expected divident yeild 0.00 % 0.00 % Risk free interest rate 1.16 % 1.73 % The following table summarizes the option activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Number of Average Contractual Intrinsic Shares Exercise Price Term (years) Value Balance at December 31, 2014 175,000 $ 4.98 4.50 $ 600 Granted 45,500 2.07 5.00 - Exercised - - - - Forfeited - - - - Canceled/Expired - - - - Balance at December 31, 2015 220,500 $ 4.38 3.81 $ - Exercisable as of December 31, 2015 220,500 $ 4.38 3.81 $ - Balance at December 31, 2015 220,500 $ 4.38 3.81 $ - Granted 38,500 3.40 4.43 - Exercised - - - - Forfeited - - - - Canceled/Expired - - - - Balance at December 31, 2016 259,000 $ 4.23 3.05 $ 20,100 Exercisable as of December 31, 2016 239,167 $ 4.31 2.92 $ 20,100 The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing stock price of $1.90 and $1.21 for our common shares on December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Equity | Note 14 - Equity The holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. Holders of Series A convertible preferred shares are entitled to five votes per share at meetings of the Company. A restricted stock award is an award of common shares that are subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the restricted shares vest. Shares on non-vested restricted stock have the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s restricted stock awards vest of a period of one to three years. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. On January 9, 2015, the Company issued 190,000 common shares to directors for services provided to the Company through December 31, 2014.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Loss Per Share | Note 15 - Loss per share The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $3,303,538 and $9,311,913. The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for 2016 and 2015 was 5,430,205 and 5,140,920. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of options and warrants. Diluted net loss per common share was the same as basic net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 since the effect of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss attributable to the common shareholders. Instruments excluded from dilutive earnings per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, were as follows: incentive and award stock options – 259,000 for 2016 (2015: 220,500). |

Income Tax Expense | Note 16 - Income Tax Expense The Company’s income tax benefit/(provision) is as follows: Years Ended December 31 2016 2015 Current $ 895,000 $ 3,228,852 Deferred (1,646,000 ) 835,596 Change in Valuation Allowance 751,000 (3,795,104 ) Net $ - $ 269,344 During 2015, the Company was approved by the State of New Jersey to sell a portion of its state tax benefits that existed as of December 31, 2014, pursuant to the Technology Tax Certificate Transfer Program. The Company received net proceeds of $269,344 for the year ending December 31, 2015 from the sale of the tax benefits, which has been included as an income tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $60,100,000 and $58,000,000, expiring through the year ending December 31, 2036. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had New Jersey state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,400,000 and $7,200,000, expiring through the year ending December 31, 2023. The principle components of the deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: Years Ended December 31 2016 2015 Reserves and other $ 865,000 $ 2,506,000 Net operating loss carry-forwards 21,618,000 20,728,000 Valuation Allowance (22,483,000 ) (23,234,000 ) Net $ - $ - The reconciliation of income taxes using the statutory U.S. income tax rate and the benefit from income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: Years Ended December 31 2016 2015 Statutory U.S. Federal Income Tax Rate (35.0 )% (35.0 )% New Jersey State income taxes, net of U.S. Federal tax effect (6.0 )% (6.0 )% Benefit from Sale of New Jersey NOL 0.0 % (2.9 )% Change in Valuation Allowance 41.0 % 41.0 % Net - % (2.9 )% The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $22,483,000 and $23,234,000. The change in the total valuation for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were a decrease of $751,000 and an increase of $3,795,104. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The value of the deferred tax assets was fully offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2016, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no charge during 2016, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2016 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There is no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2016. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and a state income tax returns. The U.S. and state income tax returns filed for the tax years ending on December 31, 2013 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Note 17 - Related Party Transactions On June 19, 2012, the Company entered into a 3-year exclusive License & Supply Agreement with ChubeWorkx Guernsey Limited (as successor to SONO International Limited) (“ChubeWorkx”) for the purchase and distribution of Akers’ proprietary breathalyzers outside North America. ChubeWorkx paid a licensing fee of $1,000,000 which was recognized over the term of the agreement through September 30, 2015. On June 13, 2013, the Company announced an expansion of the License and Supply Agreement with ChubeWorkx to include worldwide marketing and distribution of the “Be CHUBE” program using the Company’s breathalyzer. On August 17, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with ChubeWorkx Guernsey Limited (“ChubeWorkx”), a major shareholder, which settled all pending claims between the Company and ChubeWorkx. Specifically, the Company and ChubeWorkx agreed to voluntarily dismiss the action brought by the Company against ChubeWorkx for outstanding amounts due to Akers Bio under a promissory note in a United States Federal Court suit, District of New Jersey and various claims brought by ChubeWorkx against the Company arising from an exclusive licensing agreement between ChubeWorkx and the Company (“Licensing Agreement”) in a suit brought in The High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice, United Kingdom. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company recovered the full outstanding principal amount in the current fiscal year in the form of $750,000 of BreathScan® Alcohol Detector products – which the Company intends to subsequently sell – and the balance of $549,609 as prepaid royalty. The goods were received in August, 2016. Akers’ established an allowance for this doubtful note in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company reversed the allowance for doubtful note in the amount of $1,299,609 which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition to addressing the promissory note described above, the Settlement Agreement also allows the Company to market and sell all of the Company’s breath technology tests worldwide, unencumbered by any past/future claims by ChubeWorkx under the Licensing Agreement (entered into with ChubeWorkx in 2012 and subsequently amended in 2013). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, ChubeWorkx no longer holds any rights pertaining to Akers’ BreathScan® technology, which serves as the basis for a number of commercialized products including BreathScan® Alcohol Detector and BreathScan OxiChek™; and a number of products in development. In return for the Company regaining the full rights to sell breath technology products, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, ChubeWorkx is entitled to receive a royalty of 5% of the Company’s gross revenues (the “ChubeWorkx Royalty”) until ChubeWorkx has earned an aggregate $5,000,000, after which point ChubeWorkx will no longer be entitled to receive any royalties from the Company and the Company shall have no further obligation to ChubeWorkx. The Settlement Agreement further allows the Company to retain 50% of the ChubeWorkx Royalty until the full $549,609 cash component of the monies owed by ChubeWorkx to the Company as described above has been satisfied. The Company recorded royalty expenses of $153,854 for the year ended December 31, 2016 which are included in sales and marketing expenses – related party on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Other terms of the Settlement include: 1) the pledge as security of all earned but unpaid royalties by the Company to ChubeWorkx all Company assets, worthy to satisfy its obligations, including all inventory and receivables, with the exception of (i) distribution contracts of the Company or any of its affiliates, (ii) customer lists, (iii) manufacturing processes (including all intellectual property required to use those processes and exploit products made thereby), and (iv) all equipment required to perform said manufacturing processes and other equipment; 2) the pledge as security of the settlement sum which remains unpaid by the Company to ChubeWorkx all Company (i) distribution contracts of the Company or any of its affiliates, (ii) customer lists, (iii) manufacturing processes (including all intellectual property required to use those processes and exploit products made thereby), and (iv) all equipment required to perform said manufacturing processes and other equipment; and 3) the grant of voting proxy by ChubeWorkx to the Company which allows the Company to vote ChubeWorkx’s shares for corporate formalities under certain conditions. The pledged assets are only at risk in the event that the Company cannot satisfy any outstanding royalty payment obligations subject to various cure periods and/or through a restructuring and/or liquidation under the United States Bankruptcy laws of the Company in favor of payment of said obligation. The Company began purchasing manufacturing molds, plastic components and the assembled BreathScan Lync device through Hainan and its related parties during the year ended December 31, 2016 (Note 11). The Company purchased a total of $207,135 during the year ended December 31, 2016 from this related party.

Significant Accounting Policies (Polices) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2016 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to 3 months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts are shown as part of trade and other payables in the consolidated balance sheet. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and trade and other payables. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The fair value of marketable securities is described in Note 3(c). |
Fair Value Measurement - Marketable Securities | (c) Fair Value Measurement – Marketable Securities The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include ● quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; ● quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; ● inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; ● inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. |
Trade Receivables, Trade Receivables - Related Party and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | (d) Trade Receivables, Trade Receivables – Related Party and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The carrying amounts of current trade receivables is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and approximate their fair value given their short term nature. The normal credit terms extended to customers ranges between 30 and 90 days. The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses, makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, allowances for doubtful accounts for trade receivables were $1,010,196 and $864,000. Bad debt expenses for trade receivables were $146,196 and $864,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | (e) Concentration of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business primarily related to trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. All of the Company’s cash is maintained with Fulton Bank of New Jersey, Bank of America, NA and PayPal. The funds are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $250,000, but are otherwise unprotected. The Company placed $67,865 and $369,525 with Fulton Bank of New Jersey, $795 and $28,494 with Bank of America, NA and $4,040 and $4,040 with PayPal as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. No losses have been incurred in these accounts. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exists as approximately 75% of the Company’s product revenue is generated by three customers. These customers accounted for 30% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2016. In order to limit such risks, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. |
Inventories | (f) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average principle, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other income” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss on the accelerated basis over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Useful Life (in years) Plant and equipment 5-12 Furniture and fixtures 5-10 Computer equipment & software 3-5 Shorter of the Leasehold Improvements remaining lease or estimated useful life Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. |
Intangible Assets | (h) Intangible Assets (i) Patents and Trade Secrets The Company has developed or acquired several diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of various substances in a person’s breath, blood, urine and saliva. Propriety protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has ten patents from the United States Patent Office in effect (9,383,368; 7,896,167; 8,097,171; 8,003,061; 8,425,859; 8,871,521; 8,808,639; D691,056; D691,057 and D691,058). Other patents are in effect in Australia through the Design Registry (348,310; 348,311 and 348,312), European Union Patents 1793906, 2684025, 002216895-0001; 002216895-0002 and 002216895-0003), in Hong Kong (HK11004006) and in Japan (1,515,170; 4,885,134; 4,931,821 5,775,790, and 6023096). Patents are in the national phase of prosecution in many Patent Cooperation Treaty participating countries. Additional proprietary technology consists of numerous different inventions. The Company intends to file additional patent applications, where appropriate, relating to new products, technologies and their use in the U.S., European and Asian markets. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets) using all legal remedies available to the Company. (ii) Patent Costs Costs associated with applying for patents are capitalized as patent costs. Once the patents are approved, the respective costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (maximum of 17 years) on a straight-line basis. Patent pending costs for patents that are not approved are charged to operations the year the patent is rejected. In addition, patents may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining useful life. (iii) Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have definite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. (iv) Amortization Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Useful Life (in years) Patents and trademarks 12-17 Customer lists 5 |
Recoverability of Long-lived Assets | (i) Recoverability of Long Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets. |
Investments | (j) Investments In accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following: a) Representation on the Board of Directors b) Participation in policy-making processes c) Material intra-entity transactions d) Interchange of management personnel e) Technological dependencies f) Extent of ownership and the ability to influence decision making based upon the makeup of other owners when the shareholder group is small. The Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the cost method. Investments recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for using the cost method to the equity method of valuation. On March 9, 2015, the Company contributed capital of $64,675 in Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, resulting in a 19.9% ownership interest. The contribution was adjusted downward to $64,091 on April 8, 2015; the net effect of the currency conversion when the contribution was processed in Hainan. This is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and is accounted for using the cost method. |
Revenue Recognition | (k) Revenue Recognition In accordance with FASB ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer based on shipping terms. The Company typically does not accept returns nor offer charge backs or rebates except for certain distributors. Revenue recorded is net of any discount, rebate or sales return. The accrual for estimated sales returns $- as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company implemented a significant price increase for certain PIFA products effective May 1, 2015 and a standard dealer cost model during the year ended December 31, 2016. In an effort to phase in these changes, the programs include a provision for rebates to the distributors under limited circumstances. The Company has established an accrual of $41,120 and $233,542, which is a reduction of revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Accounts receivable will be reduced when the rebates are applied by the customer. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $471,949 and $438,360 in rebates, which is included as a reduction of product revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement. When the Company enters into arrangements that contain more than one deliverable, the Company allocates revenue to the separate elements under the arrangement based on their relative selling prices in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25. |
Income Taxes | (l) Income Taxes The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs | (m) Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs The Company charges actual shipping plus a handling fee to customers, which amounted to $54,928 and $56,537 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These fees are classified as part of product revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Shipping and other related delivery costs, including those for incoming raw materials are classified as part of the cost of net revenue, which amounted to $138,662 and $115,423 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. |
Research and Development Costs | (n) Research and Development Costs In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. |
Stock-based Payments | (o) Stock-based Payments The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Under FASB ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the stock warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards to non-employees on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the period which services are to be received. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to vesting or prior to completion of services, the fair value of equity based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurement until the equity based payments are fully vested or the service is completed. |
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock | (p) Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered anti-dilutive, i.e. the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market price of the common stock. |
Reclassifications | (q) Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not Yet Adopted | (s) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted As the Company is an emerging growth company, it has elected to adopt recently issued standards based on effective dates applicable to nonpublic entities. All effective dates as mentioned in the following paragraphs refer to that applicable to nonpublic entities. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the amendments but it does not anticipate a material impact of its financial statements. The Company expects to use the modified retrospective adoption method. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments |
