About BioSig Technologies
BioSig is a medical device company that has developed a proprietary technology platform designed to compete in the $3 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace that analysts forecast growing at 12.1 percent(1), (www.biosigtech.com). 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 a next-generation surface electrocardiogram 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 providing guidance in identifying ablation targets -- areas of tissue to destroy that otherwise create a heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia).
BioSig intends to seek FDA 510(k) approval for the PURE EP System. The Company has already achieved proof of concept validation through UCLA EP & Animal Labs, and is collaborating with several of the nation's most prestigious cardiac arrhythmia centers including Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic.
