NASHUA, N.H. - TelAve -- BraveHeart Wireless Inc., a leading innovator in clinical-quality biometric wearables, today announced that the company received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the BraveHeart™ Life Sensor Cardiac Monitoring system.

The Life Sensor Cardiac Monitoring system is intended for use by health care professionals within a health care setting. The system captures heart rate and EKG data using a Life Sensor electrode affixed to a patient's skin and continuously transmits the data from the electrode to an application on an iOS device, where the data can be reviewed by health care professionals.

The Life Sensor Cardiac Monitoring system is a milestone product; it is the first product of its kind built on the BraveHeart Wireless Internet of Things (IoT) "open" platform. BraveHeart Wireless continues to develop additional health-related products on this platform as it works closely with key partners to configure its platform for targeted use models.

"Prior to the Life Sensor, people with the need for truly wireless heart-monitoring had limited options. Now, health care professionals can use the Life Sensor to quickly and wirelessly receive relevant, clinical-quality and actionable heart rate and EKG data—even as a person is waiting to be admitted to a health care facility," said Steve McCalmont, CEO of BraveHeart Wireless Inc.

"The Life Sensor has the potential to significantly and positively impact patient care," said Dave Shimkus, Vice President of Operations at BraveHeart Wireless Inc. "The FDA ensured the Life Sensor cardiac monitoring system meets the FDA's regulatory requirements for safety and effectiveness. We look forward to seeing the BraveHeart Life Sensor platform widely used in a variety of health care settings, and to working with our partners to develop additional products."

LIFE SENSOR CARDIAC MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATIONS

In the United States, 28.2 million adults are currently diagnosed with heart disease—and this number continues to grow. Every year, about 735,000 Americans suffer a heart attack, and heart disease has now become the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The chances of survival are greater when emergency treatment begins quickly. The Life Sensor Cardiac Monitoring system is designed to provide fast application and access to a patient's heart rate and EKG data.

The Life Sensor Cardiac Monitoring system is comprised of several components, including a single-use, self-adhesive patch that can be attached to a patient's skin directly above the heart. This patch is equipped with a sensor that can capture a patient's heart rate and EKG data and wirelessly transmit this data via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) in real-time to an application on an iOS device, where the data can be reviewed by health care professionals.
