“I have always viewed the electrophysiology field as a tremendous opportunity given the burden heart rhythm disorders have on the healthcare system.  It is a space that can benefit greatly from innovation, and I am impressed with the PURE EP™ system which appears to be a meaningful advance in signal detection and should have a positive impact on procedure time and cost.  I look forward to working with the BioSig Board and the management team to leverage my experience and executive leadership to deliver on the strategic expansion of the PURE EP™  system and the company’s many pipeline opportunities,” commented Dr. Barry.

 

“Jim’s accomplishments in the medical device sector are second-to-none, and we are thrilled that he can join us as our new Independent Director. Our mission is to empower physicians to make better procedural decisions through more advanced technological solutions, and Jim’s industry expertise is perfectly aligned with our passion for innovation. We look forward to learning from Jim as we continue to expand our commercial roll-out,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman, and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.

 

The PURE EP™ is an FDA 510(k) cleared non-invasive class II device that aims to drive procedural efficiency and efficacy in cardiac electrophysiology. To date, over 60 physicians have completed over 1300 patient cases with the PURE EP™ System across twelve clinical sites.

 

The Company recently completed its first multi-centered, prospective clinical trial and presented preliminary clinical data during the annual Heart Rhythm 2021 convention in July in Boston, MA.
