Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of MELA Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MELA” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”); however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, some of the Company’s statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected future results. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company is a medical technology company dedicated to designing and developing innovative software-driven technology for the clinical early detection and prevention of skin cancer. The Company is primarily focused on the commercialization of its flagship product, the MelaFind® system, and the further design and development of MelaFind® and its technology. The MelaFind® system is an optical diagnostic device that assists dermatologists in the diagnosis of melanoma. It features a hand-held component that uses light of differing wavelengths to capture digital data from clinically atypical pigmented skin lesions. The data are then analyzed utilizing sophisticated classification algorithms that have been “trained” and blind tested on the Company’s proprietary database of melanomas and benign lesions. The MelaFind® system then provides images and objective data on the relative disorganization of a lesion’s structure that provides substantial additional perspective to assist physicians in the clinical management decision for atypical pigmented skin lesions, including information useful in the decision whether to biopsy the lesion. In November 2011, the Company received written approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the MelaFind® Pre-Market Approval (“PMA”) application and in September 2011 received Conformite Europeenne (“CE”) Mark approval. In March 2012, the Company installed the first commercial MelaFind® systems, and proceeded with the commercial launch of MelaFind®. The Company is currently conducting a Post-Approval Study (“PAS”) evaluating the sensitivity and false positive rate of physicians after using the MelaFind® system with their performance if MelaFind® was not available. The launch of MelaFind® in 2012 and the subsequent commercialization activities supporting the launch did not meet the Company’s initial goals and objectives. Revenues were lower than forecasted and expenses continued to increase throughout 2012 and into 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, a significant cost reduction program was put into place. In November 2013, the Company adopted a refocused “Go-to-Market” strategy concentrating on key institutions, opinion leaders and dermatologists who treat many of the patients at high risk for melanoma. The Company also changed its business model for the MelaFind® system from a rental-based to a sales-based model. The Company has reduced its costs, added more experience to its management team, and reorganized its sales and marketing activities. On August 22, 2013, the Company received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In July 2014, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the expiration of the last applicable grace period. On July 24, 2014, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it is now in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In July 2014, MELA announced that it took the first step in the process of obtaining insurance reimbursement for its Multi-Spectral Digital Skin Lesion Analysis (“MSDSLA”) procedure that is performed by dermatologists utilizing the MelaFind® system as an aid in the detection of melanoma. The Company submitted an application for a Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT®”) code, which is necessary for Medicare Part B reimbursement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). Currently, there is no CPT® code available for the MelaFind® process. The Company plans to commence efforts to obtain reimbursement from private insurers during the CMS’ coverage determination process. Coverage could become available as early as January 2016. MELA has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations and management expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result of these factors, the Company has been and continues to be dependent on raising capital from the sale of securities in order to operate and to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business. In February 2014, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $11.5 million from the sale of Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock to strengthen the Company’s financial position (see Footnote 11 “STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY”). In July 2014, the Company issued Series B convertible preferred stock, senior secured convertible debt and warrants (see Footnote 9 “DEBT”). The Company raised an additional $13.8 million in net proceeds from this offering. The proceeds from the sale of the Series B convertible preferred stock were used to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock.
The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared from the books and records of the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. The information and note disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has devoted substantially all of its cash resources to the development and marketing of the MelaFind® system and general and administrative expenses, and to date it has not generated any significant revenues from the sale of products. As a result, MELA has an accumulated deficit of $177,789,288 as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s recurring losses from operations and the accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Even if the Company succeeds in commercializing the MelaFind® system it may never become profitable. The Company expects to continue to incur significant losses over the next several years. |

Use of Estimates | 2. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to inventory reserves, stock-based compensation arrangements, and the warrant liability. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates of future operating results are based upon numerous factors including past experience, known information and subjective estimates and assumptions. Actual future operating results could be materially different from management’s estimates and unforeseen events could adversely affect management’s estimates. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventory | 4. INVENTORY Inventories currently consist of MelaFind® systems, work in process components and other finished products and accessories that are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory accessories are purchased items to be sold for use in the operation of the MelaFind® systems. The Company maintains a reserve for specific inventory items that are no longer being used in the devices. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company replaced the Hand-held Imager’s “Field Phantom” imaging test with the “Flap Shutter” imaging test. The new Flap Shutter test utilizes an internal imaging target within each Hand-held Imager. This new test process eliminates the need for the external Field Phantom imaging test fixture; thereby reducing manufacturing material costs, test labor and cycle time. Additionally, an improvement to the Hand-held Imager’s overall reliability is anticipated by eliminating human error associated with the previous Field Phantom imaging test process. As a result, the Phantom Fixture has become obsolete and an additional $537,774 was added to the reserve for obsolete inventory. In December 2013, the Company changed its business model for the MelaFind® system from a rental-based model to a sales-based model. In accordance with this new sales model, the Company reclassified $5,401,866 of MelaFind® systems from property and equipment into inventory at December 31, 2013. The systems reclassified into inventory represent systems available for sale. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company deferred repairs of certain of its MelaFind system units that it determined were unlikely to be sold during the next several periods. The Company estimated the cost to restore its system units to sellable condition and created a repair reserve amounting to $538,559 at September 30, 2014.
On August 6, 2014, the Company and Askion GmbH entered into an “Amended and Restated Askion Production Agreement.” This agreement is a mutual settlement and release agreement of two prior unfulfilled purchase orders. The settlement amount of $1,142,512 was used for inventory purchases which consist primarily of Hand-held Imager assemblies. Inventory consists of the following:

Property and Equipment, Net | 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value. In December 2013, the Company changed its business model for the MelaFind® system from a rental-based to a sales-based model. In accordance with this new sales model, the Company reclassified $5,401,866 of MelaFind® systems from property and equipment into inventory at December 31, 2013. The systems reclassified into inventory represent systems available for sale. Systems that have been leased under the rental-based model remain in property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reclassified $725,598 of accumulated depreciation related to MelaFind system components that were previously leased and are now available for sale that were included in inventory at December 31, 2013. Property and equipment, at cost, consists of the following:
Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $487,998 and $1,366,995, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $681,759 and $1,785,793, respectively. |

Diluted net loss per common share gives effect to dilutive options, warrants and other potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share since all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive for each of the periods presented.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | 9. DEBT On July 21, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with entities affiliated with institutional investors (the “Investors”) providing for the issuance of (i) 12,300 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.10 and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), (ii) Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,005, due, subject to the terms therein, in July 2019 (the “Debentures”), (iii) warrants (the “July 2014 Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,198,832 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $2.45 per share expiring in July 2019 issued to the investors in the Debentures, and (iv) warrants (the “July 2014 Series B Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,795,321 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.45 per share expiring in January 2016 issued to investors in the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on July 24, 2014. Proceeds from the Debentures will be used for general working capital purposes. The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 4%, payable quarterly or upon conversion into shares of Common Stock. The Debentures are convertible at any time into an aggregate of 5,847,955 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.565 per share (which represents a price above the closing bid price of the Common Stock on July 18, 2014, the trading day immediately prior to the entry into the Purchase Agreement). The Company’s obligations under the Debentures are secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to the terms of a security agreement (“Security Agreement”) dated July 21, 2014 among the Company and the investors. The Preferred Stock is only entitled to dividends in the event that dividends are paid on the Common Stock, and the Preferred Stock will not have any preferences over the Common Stock, including liquidation rights. The warrants are also subject to certain ownership limitations and are immediately exercisable.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which the Company was obligated to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on August 19, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 20, 2014 (File No. 333-198249). For financial reporting purposes, the $15,000,005 funded by the Investors on July 21, 2014 was allocated first to the fair value of the obligation to issue the Warrants, which totaled $5,296,345, then to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature on the Debentures of $4,565,350 and then the balance was further reduced by the fair value of warrants issued to the placement agent for services rendered of $491,228, resulting in an initial carrying value of the Debentures of $4,647,082. The initial debt discount on the Debentures totaled $10,352,923 and will be amortized over the five year life of the Debentures. The Company used a Level 3 fair value measurement to determine fair value of the warrant obligations, which has significant unobservable inputs as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measures”. The fair value of the warrant obligation was determined using an option pricing model that used various assumptions including: a stock price of $2.44 per share, volatility of 93.46%, time to maturity of 5.0 years, exercise price of $2.45 per share and a risk free interest rate of return of 1.62%. On March 15, 2013, the Company executed loan documents with Hercules Technology Growth Capital Inc. (“Hercules”), a venture capital lender, whereby the Company borrowed $6,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan accrued interest at a rate of 10.45%. The term of the Loan was 42 months with interest payments only during the first 12 months. On September 10, 2013, the Company elected to prepay the Loan and paid Hercules $6,400,000, including the end of term fee of $425,000, to settle all obligations to Hercules. Hercules agreed to waive the prepayment penalty of $180,000. Upon executing the loan documents on March 15, 2013, the Company became obligated to issue to the Lender a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock upon approval by the Company’s stockholders of a proposal to increase the Company’s number of authorized shares of common stock at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The number of shares that could be acquired upon exercise of the warrant and the exercise price per share were not fixed on March 15, 2013, but would be determined when the warrant was issued based on a defined formula using trading prices of the Company’s common stock during certain periods prior to the issuance of the warrant. The Company’s stockholders approved the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock on April 25, 2013 and on April 26, 2013 the warrant was issued to the Lender. The terms of the warrant were fixed on the date of issuance whereby the Lender received a warrant to purchase 69,321 shares of common stock at an exercise price of approximately $11.20 per share. The warrant expires on April 26, 2018. For financial reporting purposes, the $6,000,000 funded by the Lender on March 15, 2013 was allocated first to the fair value of the obligation to issue the warrant, which totaled approximately $563,000, and the balance was reduced further by the Lender’s costs and fees, resulting in an initial carrying value of the loan of approximately $5,300,000. The Company used a Level 3 fair value measurement to determine fair value of the warrant obligation, which has significant unobservable inputs as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measures”. During the period from the loan inception date until the warrant obligation was fulfilled and the warrant was issued, the warrant obligation was reflected as a long-term liability at fair value. Changes in the fair value (“mark-to-market adjustments”) of the warrant obligation of $89,859 are included in operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The fair value of the warrant obligation was determined using the Monte Carlo pricing model that used various assumptions that included: stock prices ranging from $11.60 to $11.80 per share, volatility of 77%, time to maturity of 5 years, exercise prices ranging from $11.50 to $11.60 and a risk free interest rate of return of .84%. Under the Monte Carlo model, a 10% change in the underlying unobservable inputs would not have a significant impact on the fair value. The value of the warrant obligation combined with the costs resulted in an initial loan discount of approximately $727,000. The terms of the Loan required us to pay the Lender a fee of $425,000 at the maturity of the Loan. The loan discount and the fee were being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the loan using the interest method. As discussed above, prior to the terms of the warrant being fixed on April 26, 2013, the warrant obligation fell within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) and therefore the warrant obligation was accounted for as a derivative reflected as a long-term liability until the warrant was issued on April 26, 2013. The terms of the warrant upon issuance no longer required derivative accounting under ASC 815 and therefore the fair value of the warrant was classified within stockholders’ equity. As the result of the Company electing to prepay the loan on September 10, 2013, the unamortized loan discount, fee and deferred financing costs that were expensed at that date were $983,330. |

Stockholders' Equity | 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.10 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. On July 24, 2014, in connection with the Offering (see Note 9 “DEBT”), the Company issued to certain investors 12,300 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share convertible into Common Stock at an initial price of $2.565 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,795,321 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.45 per share, expiring in January 2016. The Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 4,795,321 shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends only in the event that dividends are paid on the Common Stock, and the Preferred Stock has no preferences over the Common Stock, including liquidation rights. The Preferred Stock and the July 2014 Series A Warrants are immediately exercisable and are subject to certain ownership limitations. For financial reporting purposes, the $12,300,000 preferred stock value was allocated first to the fair value of the July 2014 Series B warrants, which totaled $2,486,780, then to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1,887,364. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature is considered to be a deemed dividend on the date of issuance to the Series B preferred stockholders due to the July 2014 Series B warrants being immediately exercisable. The deemed dividend was accounted for as a movement within additional paid-in capital. The following table represents the net loss attributable to common stockholders after giving effect for the deemed dividend:
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was redeemed from the proceeds of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In September 2014, the Company amended the registration statement related to the Series A Preferred Stock to deregister those shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had it not already been redeemed by the proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock. On February 5, 2014, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014, the Company sold to the Purchasers (i) an aggregate of 12,300 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), convertible into 1,464,287 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $8.40, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 1,329,731 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $11,457,831. The warrants have an exercise price of $7.40 per share, are immediately exercisable and have a term of five years. These warrants have non-standard terms as they relate to a fundamental transaction and require a net-cash settlement upon a change in control of the Company and therefore are classified as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value on the inception date of February 5, 2014. They will be recorded at their respective fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. The fair value of these warrants on September 30, 2014 was approximately $957,406. The change in fair value of these warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was a benefit of $1,436,107 and $4,627,459, respectively (see footnote 12 “FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS”). In connection with this financing, the Company also granted to the Purchasers resale registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement. The Purchasers were entitled to receive liquidated damages upon the occurrence of a number of events relating to filing, effectiveness and maintaining an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants. The Company was unable to meet certain filing and effectiveness requirements and as a result paid liquidated damages to the Purchasers in the aggregate amount of $3,419,698. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on March 18, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 3, 2014. Should this registration statement cease to remain effective for more than ten consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period, the Company would be subject to additional liquidated damages of up to approximately $500,000. On July 21, 2014, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement and issued, among other things, the Series B Preferred Stock (See Footnote 9 “DEBT”). In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company redeemed all 12,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In September 2014, the Company amended the registration statement related to the Series A Preferred Stock (File No. 333-194649) to deregister those shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. On October 29, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors in connection with a $6,000,000 registered offering of 422,819 shares of the Company’s common stock, fully paid prefunded Series B Warrants to purchase up to 434,325 shares of its common stock and additional warrants (“October 2013 Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 685,715 shares of its common stock. The October 2013 Series A Warrants are exercisable beginning on May 1, 2014 at a price of $8.50 per share and expire on May 1, 2019. The prefunded Series B Warrants are exercisable immediately for no additional consideration. The offering closed on October 31, 2013. The holders exercised all of the prefunded Series B warrants in March 2014. There were no warrant exercises in the first nine months of 2013. The October 2013 Series A Warrants have non-standard terms as they relate to a fundamental transaction and require a net-cash settlement upon a change in control of the Company and therefore are classified as a derivative. Therefore, these warrants have been recorded at fair value at the inception date of October 31, 2013, and will be recorded at their respective fair values at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded as a non-operating, non-cash charge in the Statements of Operations. The fair value of these warrants on September 30, 2014 was approximately $493,715. The change in fair value of these warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, was a benefit of $671,999 and $2,523,427, respectively (see footnote 12 “FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS”).
On August 22, 2013, the Company received a notice from NASDAQ that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In July 2014, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the expiration of the last applicable grace period. On July 24, 2014, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it is now in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Outstanding common stock warrants consist of the following:
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock increased from 5,213,969 to 5,217,742. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and derivative warrant liabilities. The recorded values of cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The fair value of derivative warrant liabilities is estimated using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of our warrants, preferred and common stock, the derivative warrant liability on the valuation date as well as assumptions for volatility, remaining expected life, risk-free interest rate and, in some cases, credit spread. The derivative warrant liabilities are the only recurring Level 3 fair value measures. The warrants have non-standard terms as they relate to a fundamental transaction and require a net-cash settlement upon change in control of the Company and therefore are classified as a derivative. These warrants have been recorded at their fair value using an option pricing model and will be recorded at their respective fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date.
A summary of quantitative information with respect to the valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.
