By GlobalDataEstablished in 2001, Avertix’s Guardian System is claimed to be the first and only Class III implantable device cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration for the detection of heart attacks in real time.
By offering life-saving alerts to patients and healthcare professionals, the device helps address silent and atypical symptomatic heart attacks.
In the company’s ALERTS clinical study, the Guardian System demonstrated its ability to alert patients suffering from heart attack to seek urgent medical attention at an earlier stage compared to patients who relied solely on symptoms.
BIOS CEO Ross Haghighat said: “Our shared mission is to transform the landscape of cardiovascular disease management and we look forward to bringing this vision to fruition while generating significant value for our shareholders.”
Subject to customary closing conditions, the deal is anticipated to complete in the second half of this year.
