Item 5.   Other Events.
                On June 20, 1996 Biocontrol Technology, Inc.
          (NASDAQ:BICO) announced that ongoing patient testing of
          its production model Diasensor 1000 noninvasive
          glucose sensor for diabetics continues to show
          significantly improved performance.
                 A total of seven patients are currently in the
          testing process which will ultimately result in 60-day
          evaluation periods for each.  To date, three of the
          seven patients have been through the full 60-day
          period.  The Diasensor 1000 production model provided
          consistent, accurate readings on 66% of the tested
          patients and gave readings 85% of the time.
                 Significantly improved also was the accuracy of
          the glucose measurement readings on the Diasensor 1000
          production model, which was  15% of the actual glucose
          readings using the Yellow Springs Instrument laboratory
          reference device for comparison.
                 The production model Diasensor 1000 has also
          demonstrated increased speed of data collection.  What
          took six hours to collect with the BETA device now
          takes just 15 minutes.
                 The testing process will continue through each of
          the seven patients after which the data will be
          submitted to the FDA as part of BICO's revised 510(k)
          submission.
