                                     TO THE
                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

                                       OF
                       INVERNESS MEDICAL INNOVATIONS, INC.

                             PURSUANT TO SECTION 103
                        OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF
                              THE STATE OF DELAWARE

     Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies:

     1.   That a First Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed
          by the Secretary of State of Delaware on December 15, 2006 (the
          "Amendment") and that said Amendment requires correction as permitted
          by Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
          Delaware.

     2.   That due to a scrivener's error, the Amendment erroneously indicated
          that the Amendment was executed on behalf of the Corporation by its
          Assistant Secretary, Jay McNamara, as of the 14th of December, 2006.

     3.   The final sentence of the Amendment is hereby corrected to read as
          follows:

               "IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this First
               Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to be executed on
               its behalf by its Assistant Secretary, Jay McNamara, as of this
               15th day of December, 2006."



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Correction to
be executed on its behalf by its Assistant Secretary, Jay McNamara, as of this
18th day of December, 2006

                                        Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc.
