BioSig Completes Successful Patient Cases at Greenville Memorial Hospital

Second Center to Report Positive Clinical Experience with PURE EP(tm) System


Santa Monica, CA, April 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address unmet needs for the electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that the Company successfully conducted patient cases using PURE EP(tm) System at Greenville Memorial Hospital, part of Prisma Health System. PURE EP(tm) System is the Company’s FDA cleared proprietary electrocardiogram and intracardiac signal acquisition and amplification system. The patient procedures were conducted by Andrew Brenyo, MD, FHRS.

“Over the last two days I have been amazingly surprised at the fidelity and utility of the BioSig’s PURE EP(tm) System. I made sure to use it in cases of the highest complexity and found in more than one circumstance the behavior of the system such that I could visualize waveform signals that I could not on my usual recording system. This led me towards a better understanding of a tachycardia event. I would count myself lucky to have had this eye-opening experience highlighting the signals that I have been missing,” commented Dr. Brenyo.

The PURE EP(tm) System was used during the procedures on patients with ischemic ventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation, PVC and atypical flutters, and conducted in parallel with Abbott’s EnSite Precision(tm) and Biosense Webster’s  (Johnson & Johnson) CARTO(tm) 3 cardiac mapping systems.

“Dr. Brenyo’s use of the PURE EP(tm) System allowed us to see high frequency, low amplitude signals during more advanced arrhythmia cases and repeat procedures,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies. “Positive clinical experience with our technology in the medical centers with diverse patient profiles is key to a strong market positioning. We believe that more clinical experience, delivered by the next set of centers scheduled to use PURE EP(tm) System in the coming months, will allow us to gain additional insight into our key value proposition and deliver on our strategic goals in the second half of the year.”

Greenville Memorial Hospital is the second installation site for PURE EP(tm) System. On February 20, 2019, BioSig announced that it successfully conducted first patient cases using PURE EP(tm) System at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, TX under the leadership of Andrea Natale, MD, FACC, FHRS, FESC, Executive Medical Director, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center. This initial experience suggested improved cardiac signal detection and fidelity.

The Company released its Shareholder Letter earlier in February 2019, where it stated its intentions to present the results from the initial clinical cases and the early feedback from the use of the PURE EP(tm) System to a larger community of physicians during the Heart Rhythm Society event in May 2019.

The PURE EP(tm) System is a computerized system intended for acquiring, digitizing, amplifying, filtering, measuring and calculating, displaying, recording and storing of electrocardiographic and intracardiac signals for patients undergoing electrophysiology (EP) procedures in an EP laboratory. The PURE EP(tm) System aims to minimize noise and artifacts and acquire high-fidelity cardiac signals. Improving fidelity of acquired cardiac signals may potentially increase the diagnostic value of these signals, thereby possibly improving accuracy and efficiency of the EP studies and related procedures. The results of pre-clinical studies have been published in a number of journals, including The Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management.

About BioSig Technologies
BioSig Technologies is a medical technology company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to improve the electrophysiology (EP) marketplace (www.biosig.com). Led by a proven management team and a veteran, independent Board of Directors, Los Angeles-based BioSig Technologies is preparing to commercialize its PURE EP™ System. The technology has been developed to address an unmet need in a large and growing market.

The Company’s first product, PURE EP™ System, is a novel cardiac signal acquisition and display system which is engineered to assist electrophysiologists in clinical decision-making during procedures to diagnose and treat patients with abnormal heart rates and rhythms. BioSig’s main goal is to deliver technology to improve upon catheter ablation treatments for the prevalent and potentially deadly arrhythmias, Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Tachycardia. BioSig has partnered with Minnetronix on technology development and received FDA 510(k) clearance for the PURE EP™ System in August 2018.
