Toronto, Canada - CardioComm Solutions, Inc.
(TSX-V:EKG) ("CardioComm Solutions" or the "Company"), a global
medical provider of electrocardiogram ("ECG") acquisition and
management software solutions, announced it shall be providing
HeartCheckTM SMART Monitoring ECG services at
no cost effective December 10, 2013 for its USA based customers who
have been provided a HeartCheckTM device
under a physician prescription.
The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") cleared both
the over-the-counter ("OTC") and prescription use of the handheld
HeartCheckTM ECG devices and associated GEMS
Home software in use by CardioComm Solutions. The Company remains
the only organization that is permitted to show ECG waveforms to
consumers without a prior physician prescription. While the Company
has developed a business from the OTC sales of the
HeartCheckTM PEN ECG device, they also hold a
May 17, 2012, FDA clearance for the prescribed use of the
HeartCheckTM PEN. Over the subsequent 12
months the Company established a software service infrastructure
with SunGard to accommodate global expandability of the now
patent-pending SMART Monitoring ECG reading service. This service
infrastructure is adherent to personal and health information
protection requirements and maintains ISO, FDA, Health Canada and
CE Mark standards to ensure protection of the Class II and Class I
classifications for CardioComm Solutions' software and devices.
"We have been steadily building our SMART Monitoring
capabilities and use cases for the HeartCheckTM devices. In April 2013 we established a rapid, 30
minute on average ECG reading service for ECGs submitted through
GEMS Home. Last month we released GEMS Home 1.2 that allows both
the HeartCheckTM PEN and the
HeartCheckTM ECG monitors to interact with
our SMART Monitoring ECG service. With these latest milestones
completed, we are now able to expand use of our
HeartCheckTM devices so that our American
customers with a physician prescription for arrhythmia surveillance
will be able to receive up to three ECG interpretations in one day
at no cost. After submitting a third ECG in a 24 hour period, the
usual pay-as-you go model will apply as is currently in place for
OTC consumer driven sales of the HeartCheckTM
PEN device," said Etienne Grima, Chief Executive Officer of
CardioComm Solutions.
"What this announcement means is that another barrier
has been removed to enable more people who would benefit from
extended ECG monitoring periods or prolonged arrhythmia
surveillance to now have access to the ECG monitoring they need.
Everyone becomes at a higher risk for arrhythmias, such as atrial
fibrillation ("AF"), as they age and those with hypertension,
diabetes and prior cardiac issues are at highest risk," said Tony
Spires, Chief Executive Officer of Humble, Texas based SPI Scanning
LLC ("SPI"). "We have been very impressed with the performance of
the SMART Monitoring service from CardioComm Solutions and look
forward to working with them in support this newest offering."
CardioComm Solutions announced their strategic relationship with
SPI in an April 24, 2013 press release.
CardioComm Solutions will continue to introduce new
enhancements into its GEMS Home solution and SMART Monitoring ECG
services throughout the coming year. "We intend to continue to
update our customers and shareholders as new programs and
partnerships are announced. With respect to the free ECG readings,
we will make available the required information and prescription
form directly from our website at www.theheartcheck.com.
We are also examining the expansion of no-cost, prescription driven
ECG readings into Canada," said Simi Grosman, member of the Board
of Directors for CardioComm Solutions.
