Improving the Quality of Cardiac EP Recordings

BioSig Technologies, Inc. (BSGM) is a medical device company that has developed a proprietary technology platform designed to greatly improve the rapidly growing $3 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace. Led by a proven management team and a veteran, independent Board of Directors, Los Angeles-based BioSig is preparing to commercialize its PURE EP System.

PURE EP is designed to improve outcomes of EP studies and cardiac catheter ablation, shorten procedure times and reduce recurrence rates. It is a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and intracardiac multichannel recording and analysis system designed to assist electrophysiologists in making clinical decisions in real-time by acquiring and displaying high-fidelity cardiac signal recordings and provide guidance in identifying ablation targets - areas of tissue to destroy that otherwise create a heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia). BioSig believes this information is not easily obtained, if at all, from any other EP equipment in the market today. 

These ablation procedures treat cardiac arrhythmias, which are broadly defined as a set of conditions in which the electrical activity of the heart is irregular, or faster or slower than normal. This type of heart disease afflicts 14.4 million Americans, or one in 18. Two of the most prevalent and deadly types of arrhythmias today are Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT).

Abbott Labs purchases similar company:

Topera, Inc. has developed a novel diagnostic catheter and mapping software, or rotor identification system, which help physicians identify and target the specific areas of a person's heart that are perpetuating atrial fibrillation. Under the terms of the acquisition, Abbott will acquire all outstanding equity of Topera for $250 million upfront, plus potential future payments tied to performance milestones.

According to the American Heart Association, AF increases an individual's risk of stroke (fourth leading cause of death in the US) four to five-fold. AF is the most common arrhythmia with 2.7 million cases in 2010 in the US, forecast to grow to 5.6 million cases by 2050. In the US alone, AF leads to about 600,000 hospitalizations/year with a direct cost of about $6 billion annually and, adding indirect costs, brings the AF total cost to $26 billion. 

Analysts forecast the global market for EP devices will grow at a 12.1 percent compound annual growth rate from $2.5 billion in 2012 to $5.5 billion by 2019 making it one of the fastest growing cardiovascular medical technology segments. Just in the US, the number of AF and VT ablations is forecast to grow at 10.5 percent from 2012 to 2017.


BioSig will seek FDA 510 approval for its PURE EP System.

The Company has achieved proof of concept validation through UCLA EP & Animal Labs ongoing from May 2013. BioSig is collaborating with several of the nation's most prestigious cardiac arrhythmia centers to develop, refine and, ultimately, commercialize the PURE EP System, including:

  • Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute
  • UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center
  • U.H. Case Medical Center in Cleveland
  • William Beaumont Hospital in Michigan
  • Mount Sinai Medical Center in NY 
  • Mayo Clinic in Minnesota
