PURE EP™ was designed to be useful in arrhythmia diagnosis. For example, in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) & AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), EP physicians often look for a slow pathway potential or accessory pathway potentials that are not easy to detect.
Furthermore, during pacing maneuvers, important diagnostic signals may be buried inside the saturation artifact from the pacing electrode.
The wide dynamic range of the PURE EP™ System may allow for better differentiation of those signals, as there is no system saturation and a quicker recovery to baseline. Cardiac catheter ablation is a procedure that involves delivery of energy through the tip of a catheter that scars or destroys heart tissue to correct heart rhythm disturbances.
In August 2018, the company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to market their PURE (Precise Uninterrupted Realtime evaluation of Electrograms) EP™ System.
Their initial focus is on improving intracardiac signal acquisition and enhancing diagnostic information for catheter ablation procedures for complex arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (“VT”) and atrial fibrillation, or AFib (“AF”). VT is a fast, abnormal heart rate in the heart’s lower chambers. VT does not give your heart enough time to fill with blood before it contracts again. This can affect blood flow to the rest of your body and is potentially life-threatening. AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with a fivefold risk of stroke. AF occurs when the upper chambers of the heartbeat irregularly, and do not pump all of the blood to the lower chambers, causing some blood to pool and potentially form clots. If a clot breaks loose, it can travel through the bloodstream to the brain and lead to a stroke. Strokes related to AF are often more severe compared to strokes with other underlying causes.
The company believes that the PURE EP System and its advanced signal processing tools may contribute to improvements in patient outcomes in connection with catheter ablation due to the following advantages over currently available devices on the market:
Less noise: PURE EP’s low-noise proprietary architecture was engineered to enable acquisition of high-fidelity signals in the original, unfiltered format. PURE EP’s Main System Unit (MSU) topology incorporates advanced shielding and very low noise front-end components.
Wider range: PURE EP’s wide dynamic range was developed to retain cardiac signal details and reduce saturation. PURE EP™ combines a low-noise signal architecture with a fixed range up to 500mV, so signals are rarely clipped or limited by quantization noise.
Higher fidelity: PURE EP’s large frequency bandwidth and linear signal acquisition helps to accurately display complex fractionated signals, even at lower amplitudes and higher frequencies. This unique system capability minimizes signal attenuation and maintains original signal amplitude – especially critical for identifying and interpreting complex arrhythmogenic substrates.
Clear, stable unipolar signals: The PURE EP System uses an innovative approach to acquiring unipolar signals. The Wilson Central Terminal (WCT+™) relies on a common front-end circuitry similar to how bi-polar intracardiac signals are acquired. This enables clear, stable unipolar signals, without the need for an internal reference catheter.
Customizable software and filters: PURE EP™ offers software modules and specialty digital filters, so electrophysiologists can customize their interface and optimize signals for mapping, signal interpretation and during therapy delivery.
Seamless integration: PURE EP™ integrates with existing EP labs and workflows. It is compatible and complementary with EP recording systems, mapping systems, robotic equipment, and multi-display panels. We believe that these features may allow physicians to better determine precise ablation targets, strategy, and end point of procedures with the objective of reducing the need for patients to undergo multiple procedures, and to allow for less experienced EP physicians to perform more complex procedures. The PURE EP System is intended to operate in conjunction with the existing EP lab equipment.

Now that you know a bit about the company's lead product, there's several potential catalysts that could fuel BSGM in the near term.
#1. BSGM Potential Catalyst - Company CEO Makes Major BSGM Share Purchases
Wow. To say BSGM CEO, Kenneth Londoner, went "hard in the paint" last week might be an understatement.
Over the span of 3 days, the company's CEO purchased thousands of shares.
What does he know that we don't? Could something big be right around the corner?
Check out his spending spree:
#1. 8/16/22 (25,100 shares)
#2. 8/17/22 (13,100 shares)
#3. 8/19/22 (10,000 shares)
All I'm going to say is, "Hmmmm."

“The demand for minimally invasive catheter-based ablation procedures continues to grow. We believe that market demand is high, and expect to see an acceleration of commercial activity in our quarterly results going forward,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
BioSig’s commercial momentum is supported by its recent decision to streamline the PURE EP™ System evaluation period from 180-360 days to 60-days. The Company has also implemented a new leasing program to help expedite the acquisition of Pure EP’s superior signal processing capabilities and shortens the sales cycle. Consistent with its stated commercial strategy, BioSig is prioritizing the growth of its robust sales team, including the recent appointment of a new sales leader who will cover the COLT states (Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas).
“By shortening our evaluation period and providing flexible paths to purchase, we are meeting the demands of physicians and supply chain management, ensuring that superior signal processing technology is within reach. We’re pleased to be exploring opportunities for repeat business and additional unit placement with many of our existing accounts,” commented Gray Fleming, Chief Commercialization Officer, BioSig Technologies, Inc.

#5. BSGM Potential Catalyst - Another Low Float Profile
According to the Yahoo Finance website, BSGM has a relatively low float.
The website reports this profile to have approximately 40.02Mn shares in its float.
Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility.
With so few shares available for trading, other potential catalysts (like big news) could spark a vertical move in the short-term.
