Toronto, Ontario - TheNewswire - October 16, 2019 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company") (TSXV:VPT) (OTC:VPTDF) is pleased to announce that St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto will be receiving the VMS+ 3.0 complete heart analysis system for use in clinical evaluations of cardiac patients.
"We look forward to upgrading to the VMS+ 3.0 into our echo suite for the clinical assessment of our cardiac patients. There are many potential applications for this innovative technology - including assessing ventricular volumes and function after percutaneous valve interventions," commented Dr. Howard Leong-Poi, Head of the Division of Cardiology at St. Michael's Hospital and a Clinician Scientist in the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science.
"We are excited with the response we have received from the recent launch of the VMS+ 3.0 into the Canadian market. Adding another leading hospital to our customer base speaks to the need for a diagnostic tool to assess cardiac chamber volumes and function with accuracy comparable to the gold-standard MRI at a fraction of the cost," notes Dr. George Adams, Ventripoint CEO.
The VMS+ 3.0 system is a cost-effective diagnostic tool for measuring whole heart function utilizing standard 2D ultrasound. Heart disease is a global concern and having a non-invasive system to monitor cardiac patients can enhance the standard of care worldwide. The system provides a seamless integration into the existing echo lab adding less than 5 minutes to a standard 2D echocardiography examination.
The VMS+ 3.0 system is commercially available in Canada and Europe. The system is for investigational use in the United States and pending pre-market 510K clearance by the FDA.
