Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Accounting Policy [Policy Text Block]

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations

Skyline Medical Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 2002. The Company has developed an environmentally safe system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care. The Company also makes ongoing sales of our proprietary cleaning fluid to users of our systems. In April 2009, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to authorize the Company to market and sell its STREAMWAY® FMS products.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since inception to June 30, 2013, the Company has raised approximately $5,624,000 in equity and $3,412,000 in debt financing, including $1,000,000 in equity and $1,300,000 in convertible debt  in 2013. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

New Accounting Pronouncements Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Developments

We reviewed all other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and determined they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on our financial position and results of our operations.

Valuation Of Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block]

 Valuation of Intangible Assets

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made.

Our accounting estimates and assumptions bear various risks of change, including the length of the current economic downturn facing the United States, the expansion of the slowdown in consumer spending in the U.S. medical markets despite the early expressed opinions of financial experts that the medical market would not be as affected as other markets and failure to gain acceptance in the medical market.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation Of Taxes Collected From Customers Policy [Policy Text Block]

Presentation of Taxes Collected from Customers

Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted from revenues and expenses.

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of goods sold on the statement of operations.

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.  

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses were $75,264 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and $133,541 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-Revenue Recognition.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. The Company’s standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and the Company will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases.  The Company recognizes revenue for trial base units when the customer signs our Terms and Conditions contract for the purchase of the trial unit. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of the STREAMWAY FMS units as well as shipments of cleaning solution kits. When these conditions are satisfied, the Company recognizes gross product revenue, which is the price it charges generally to its customers for a particular product. Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to the Company’s standard one-year warranty whereby the Company replaces or repairs, at its option, and it would be rare that the STREAMWAY FMS unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution kits may be returned. Additionally, since the Company buys both the STREAMWAY FMS units and cleaning solution kits from “turnkey” suppliers, the Company would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Receivables

Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts, changes to the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory balances are as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Finished goods	$	92,602	$	91,008
Raw materials		15,434		39,543
Work-In-Process		0		14,658
Total	$	108,036	$	145,209

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows:

	Years
Computers and office equipment	3
Furniture and fixtures	5

Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Assets Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of patent costs. These assets are not subject to amortization until the property patented is in production. The assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and impairment losses, if any, are charged to operations when identified. The Company wrote off the entire STREAMWAY One product patent of $ 140,588 in June 2013. The balance represented intellectual property in the form of patents for our STREAMWAY One product. The Company’s new STREAMWAY Two product has a new provisional patent, see “Patents and Intellectual Property”.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740- Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.

Tax years subsequent to 2009 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

Patents and Intellectual Property Policy [Policy Text Block]

Patents and Intellectual Property

On January 25, 2013, the Company filed a U.S. Provisional Patent Application, number 61756763. The provisional patent application is for a new model of the surgical fluid waste management system that has embodiments, based on our patent attorney’s recommendations that are patentable over all prior art and will not infringe on any existing patents. This provisional patent adds features that are novel and non-obvious over all BioDrain’s previously filed applications. 

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events 

The former CEO and the Company had a dispute concerning stock options negated under the former CEO’s settlement agreement. The Company and the former CEO have entered into an amended settlement agreement whereby he will retain the 333,330 shares of common stock already exercised and the right to exercise options with respect to an additional 325,187 shares of common stock (as adjusted for two past reverse stock splits) at $.01 per share. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay the former CEO $20,000 in cash. In exchange the former CEO agreed to relinquish warrants to purchase an aggregate 800,000 shares of common stock.

The Company has evaluated all other subsequent events through the date of this filing. The Company does not believe there are any other subsequent events that required disclosure.

Interim Financial Statements Policy [Policy Text Block]

Interim Financial Statements

The Company has prepared the unaudited interim financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
