HeartBeam Announces FDA Clearance for At-Home, High-Fidelity Heart Monitoring Technology

- First cable-free, ambulatory ECG that captures the heart’s
electrical signals from three distinct directions for high-fidelity
data collection and advanced diagnostics
- Patients can have the credit card-sized device with them at all
times, ready to record an ECG whenever they feel symptoms and
reduce delays in care
- Company to initiate Early Access Program to gain important
patient and physician feedback on the use of the system in
preparation for commercial launch
HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology
company focused on transforming cardiac care by providing powerful
cardiac insights, today announced that the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance of the HeartBeam
system for comprehensive arrhythmia assessment. With its patented
design, the HeartBeam device is the first-of-its-kind to receive
FDA clearance. As a high-fidelity electrocardiogram (ECG) system
with a credit card-sized form factor and cable-free design, it
captures heart signals from three distinct directions for
actionable heart health information.
When a patient feels symptoms, the HeartBeam patient app guides
them through the process of placing the device on their chest and
capturing a 30-second recording. Once a recording is taken, the
signals are sent to the cloud, processed and sent to a physician
for review. The physician reviews the ECG recording in the context
of the patient’s symptoms and medical history, then follows up with
the patient on next steps. The Company plans to initiate an Early
Access Program and is creating a waitlist of interested patients
and physicians.

Works
“It’s well documented that patients who delay seeking care for
their cardiac symptoms face worse clinical outcomes. The ability
for patients to capture high-fidelity ECG signals from three
directions wherever they are when symptoms occur will help patients
get the care they need in a timelier manner,” said Robert Eno,
Chief Executive Officer, HeartBeam. “The FDA clearance of our
technology is a significant milestone for the Company that brings
us one step closer to fulfilling our vision of providing
unprecedented cardiac insights to individuals and physicians.”
The FDA clearance is foundational and will serve as the basis
for future submissions as the Company strives to simplify the
access of intelligent and actionable 12-lead ECGs for both patients
and physicians. Future planned advances include:
- Synthesized 12-lead ECG: The HeartBeam system is
designed to be capable of synthesizing the heart’s signals
collected from three directions into a 12-lead ECG using a
personalized transformation matrix as demonstrated in this pilot
study.
- AI-Based Classification Algorithms: Data
presented earlier this year demonstrated that HeartBeam’s deep
learning algorithm has the potential to greatly improve the
detection of atrial flutter, even outperforming cardiologists in
detecting some arrhythmias.
- Heart Attack Detection: A study published in JACC:
Advances showed that HeartBeam’s ambulatory technology is
comparable to a standard 12-lead ECG in identifying coronary
occlusions and is highly accurate (Area Under the Curve of 95%).
Another feasibility study highlighted the potential of HeartBeam’s
technology to calculate a heart attack risk-score to assess chest
pain remotely.
HeartBeam's proprietary technology has the potential to unlock
valuable diagnostic and predictive insights. The ease of collecting
higher-fidelity ECG signals will enable patients to gather a series
of recordings over time. The Company aims to leverage AI to analyze
this rich set of data, delivering a longitudinal view of a
patient’s cardiac health and predicting cardiac conditions before
symptoms appear. HeartBeam believes its groundbreaking technology
presents a transformative opportunity to bring about a paradigm
shift in cardiovascular care for millions of patients globally.
About HeartBeam, Inc.
HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) is a medical technology company
dedicated to transforming the detection and monitoring of critical
cardiac conditions. The Company is creating the first ever
cable-free synthesized 12-lead ECG capable of capturing the heart’s
electrical signals from three distinct directions. This platform
technology is designed for portable devices that can be used
wherever the patient is to deliver actionable heart intelligence.
Physicians will be able to identify cardiac health trends and acute
conditions and direct patients to the appropriate care – all
outside of a medical facility, thus redefining the future of
cardiac health management. The Company holds 13 US and 4
international issued patents related to technology enablement. For

About the HeartBeam System
The HeartBeam System is a portable non-invasive recorder
intended to record, store, and transfer a patient’s 3-Lead (in
three-directions) electrocardiogram (ECG) acquired from 5
electrodes. The device is intended to be used by adult patients in
either a clinical setting or at home. The device does not conduct
cardiac analysis and can be used with an ECG Viewer software system
for manual interpretation of non-life-threatening arrhythmias by a
physician or healthcare professional. For full safety information,
