Bardy Diagnostics Announces CE Mark Certification for 14-Day Carnation Ambulatory Monitor (CAM) Patch in Europe and Expansion of Home Enrollment Program Amidst COVID-19 Crisis

SEATTLE, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bardy Diagnostics, Inc., ("BardyDx"), a leading provider of ambulatory cardiac monitoring technologies and custom data solutions, announced today it received CE mark certification for the 14-Day version of the Carnation Ambulatory Monitor ("CAM") patch, the industry's only P-wave centric ambulatory cardiac patch monitor and arrhythmia detection device. The 14-Day CAM patch provides clinicians greater flexibility to monitor their patients over a longer period and expands the portfolio of existing 2-Day and 7-Day CAM patches currently offered by BardyDx. The 14-Day CAM patch received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2019 and Health Canada clearance in February 2020.

"CE marking of the 14-Day CAM patch is a significant corporate milestone and a testament to the quality of the CAM patch and BardyDx's compliance with all applicable European health, safety, performance and environmental requirements," said Ed Vertatschitsch, Chief Operating Officer.  Ken Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer added, "Along with our Health Canada Medical Device License, the ability to distribute a CE-marked 14-CAM patch outside of the United States is one more step towards our P-wave centric detection and analysis technology becoming the global standard of care in long-term cardiac monitoring."  The CAM patch is distributed by Dot Medical in the United Kingdom and by JNC Medical in Canada.

The 14-Day CAM patch enables up to double the duration of the current 7-Day CAM patch, providing clinicians a greater opportunity to detect less-frequently occurring arrhythmias and to better inform decisions and prioritize care. The clinical value of the BardyDx P-wave centric detection technology was reported in a study published in the American Heart Journal describing the results of a head-to-head comparison with the iRhythm Zio XT patch. The study, "Comparison of two ambulatory patch ECG monitors: The benefit of the P-wave and signal clarity," (Am Heart J 2018; 203:109-117) concluded that the BardyDx CAM Patch identified 40% more arrhythmias and resulted in better, more informed clinical decision-making in 41% of patients as compared to the iRhythm Zio XT patch.
