Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principle of Consolidation, Basis of Presentation and Significant Estimates
 Principle of Consolidation, Basis of Presentation and Significant Estimates  
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory, valuation of intangible assets acquired in the reverse merger and deferred tax asset valuations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition  
 
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of medical products and supplies for the diagnosis and prevention of cancer. Product revenue is recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of the products has occurred; (3) the selling price of the product is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of inventory. The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss transfer to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For a small subset of sales, the Company and its customers agree in the sales contract that risk of loss and title transfer upon the Company packing the items for shipment, segregating the items packaged and notifying the Customer that their items are ready for pickup. The Company records such sales at time of completed packaging and segregation of the items from general inventory and notification has been confirmed by the customer.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents  
 
 The Company considers all cash on deposit and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
Buildings
33 yrs
Machinery and equipment
3-10yrs
Office furniture and equipment
2-10 yrs
Vehicles
5 yrs
Computer equipment
3-5 yrs
 
Normal maintenance and repairs for equipment are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized.
Research and Development
Research and Development
 
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, testing, developing and validating the manufacturing process, and regulatory related costs.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
 
Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) that the Company acquires through business combinations represents the fair value assigned to incomplete research projects which, at the time of acquisition, have not reached technological feasibility. The amounts are capitalized and are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, Medite will make a determination as to the then useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to be generated, and begin amortization. The Company tests IPR&D for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative test that compares the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset with its carrying value is performed. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Including Finite Lived Intangibles
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Including Finite Lived Intangibles
 
At each balance sheet date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management of the Company evaluates the recoverability of such assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the amount of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, in which case the asset is written down to fair value. The fair value of the asset is measured by either quoted market prices or the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. Unless events or circumstances have changed significantly, we generally do not re-test at year end assets acquired from a business combination in the year of acquisition.
Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill     
 
The Company has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Subtopic 350-30.
Goodwill
Goodwill
 
We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31 for us) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. Unless events or circumstances have changed significantly, we generally do not re-test at year end assets acquired from a business combination in the year of acquisition.
 
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.
 
The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock Based Compensation
 
We follow the guidance of FASB ASC 718-10, which requires that share-based payments be reflected as an expense based upon the grant-date fair value of those awards.   The expense is recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the awards, if any.  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturities.
Net Loss Per Share
Net Loss Per Share  
 
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, using the treasury stock method. MEDITE’s calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 as the effect would be anti-dilutive (i.e. would reduce the loss per share).
 
 In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release 280, the Company computes its income or loss applicable to common stock holders by subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, from it reported net loss and reports the same on the face of its statement of operations.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes  
 
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting carrying amounts and the respective tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 740-10 which relates to the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.
Legal Fees Associated with Loss Contingencies
Legal Fees Associated with Loss Contingencies
 
It is the Company’s policy to estimate and accrue for its potential legal fees at the time of loss when it incurs a loss contingency that will require the services of legal professionals. Changes over time to the estimate of total legal fees to be incurred are expensed at the time of the change in estimate.
Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information
Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information
 
During 2014, we changed our reporting to show depreciation and amortization as its own line item within our statement of operations and comprehensive income. We have updated the results from 2013 to reflect these changes in 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
   
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended accounting guidance on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The objective of the new guidance is to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and to provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning in 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
