Event Cardio Group Crosses Major Hurdle

2015-09-02 14:19 ET - News Release

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 09/02/15

Event Cardio Group, Inc. (OTCQB: ECGI), a medical device company, is pleased to announce that its Ambulatory Arrhythmia Monitoring System, NowCardio™, has successfully completed the first audit of compliance to Canadian Medical Devices Conformity Assessment System (CMDCAS) and ISO 13485:2003. The audit was conducted by a recognized registrar, BSI Group, and is a significant milestone towards both Health Canada and FDA certification. NowCardio™ is on track to receive regulatory certification and approvals in Q4 of 2015.

NowCardio™ is an advanced Ambulatory Arrhythmia Monitoring System that will be used to monitor, analyze, record, and transmit a patient's heart physiological data in real-time. NowCardio™ will be a world first where a cardiac monitoring system can offer dual-functionality of both Cardiac Holter Monitoring and Cardiac Loop Event Recording.

John Bentivoglio, Chief Executive Officer and President of Event Cardio Group, stated, "The audit was outside verification that the NowCardio™ certification is advancing as planned, and we anticipate releasing this innovative product to the market in late 2015."

CARDIAC MONITORING MARKET: The combined U.S. cardiac equipment and services market in 2012 was estimated at $3.86 billion and is expected to grow to $4.19 billion in 2016. Globally, the cardiac monitoring market is anticipated at three to five times the US market. We believe that the market for ambulatory cardiac holter monitoring and event recording services will grow over the foreseeable future as a result of an aging and growing population, the increase in a prevalence of health conditions such as obesity that increase the likelihood of heart related diseases and the increasing awareness of cardiac diseases.

BREAST CANCER DETECTION MARKET: The global Point of Care market in 2011 was approximately $18.7 billion, up from $10.3 billion in 2005. In the U.S. alone, the combined breast cancer detection/diagnostic market was valued at more than $2.2 billion in 2008, and is expected to continue in a stable growth pattern over the next several years. Analysts have suggested a conservative growth rate of approximately 5.4% per year.
