PURE EP™ Simulator Gets a U.S. Patent

On June 06, 2019, BioSig Technologies, Inc., a Westport, Conn.-based company that develops a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to improve signal fidelity and uncover the full range of ECG and intra-cardiac signals, announced that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office allowed a U.S. patent application covering its electrophysiology simulator. The patent application number 15/103,278 entitled, "Systems and Methods For Evaluation of Electrophysiology Systems" was filed on June 9, 2016.

The PURE EP™ Simulator has been previously evaluated for a commercialization pathway by Health Research International, Cleveland, Ohio. This patent should help the Company move this system forward as a valuable additional technology in BioSig’s product pipeline to be marketed to U.S. hospital systems.

“We are delighted that our application for an electrophysiology simulator has been allowed by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. We believe that our system may become a valuable assistant in many research and clinical EP labs and may open doors to simulation-guided approaches to advance understanding of current arrhythmia therapies,” stated Kenneth Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.

The PURE EP™ System is 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 under the supervision of licensed healthcare practitioners who are responsible for interpreting the data.

Many of today's EP systems have limited dynamic range, which translates into problems in needing to amplify small signals in order to see them, which ultimately distorts resolution and saturates large signals. Electrical noise is also an issue, which makes it difficult for clinicians to differentiate real physiologic signals from noise. BioSig's PURE EP System has shown effective in helping to solve these issues.

In the first half of 2019, BioSig Technologies successfully conducted its first patient cases using its PURE EP™ System at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, TX, Greenville Memorial Hospital in Greenville, SC and Indiana University School of Medicine. These initial experiences suggested improved cardiac signal detection and fidelity compared to the data acquired using the existing recording devices in the EP lab.
