TORONTO, ONTARIO – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company”), a leading global medical provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG”) acquisition and management software solutions, announces the release of a new version of the Company’s recently cleared US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) GEMS™ Mobile ECG app. The new version is branded as the GEMS™ Universal ECG (“GEMS™ Universal”) and is capable of connecting with multiple manufacturer’s consumer and prescription ECG devices sold globally.
The GEMS™ Universal ECG app allows users access to CardioComm’s fee-for-use SMART Monitoring ECG reading service, through which they can request a review of their ECG(s) to confirm the presence or absence of arrhythmias. GEMS™ Universal will be available for a fee of $6 per month, which will include one free ECG triage. GEMS Universal will also be available under an annual fee of $69, with 12 free triage reports included. These reports may be requested at any time during a renewable one year subscription. CardioComm device partners will share in revenues generated from downloads of the app and from SMART Monitoring ECG readings.
GEMS™ Universal is a slimmed-down version of the Company’s Health Canada-approved, FDA-cleared and CE Mark-certified, hospital-based Global ECG Management System (GEMSTM). GEMS™ Universal will be marketed for use with non-HeartCheck™ branded ECG devices, and will allow users the ability to generate unlimited, medical-grade ECG PDFs in near-real-time.
The first release of the GEMS™ Universal ECG is compatible with several OEM and private label devices, including those manufactured by Contec Medical Systems and BORSAM Biomedical Instruments. These manufacturers provide CardioComm with access to a global audience of ECG device users in regions where other companies have already established hardware sales.
The GEMS™ ECG Universal ECG app is scheduled to be available on the App Store and Google Play in April.
