Combined with the recently obtained CE Mark, the FDA clearance allows the company to provide patients worldwide with a new diagnostic monitoring patch alternative.

The patch is capable of monitoring every heartbeat for adverse cardiac events and transmitting significant findings in near real-time to a clinical service centre for immediate follow-up.

"I am very excited about this milestone, which will now allow us to introduce our patch technology to a broader market."

Compared with traditional recording and transmitting devices, the MCT 1-Lead Patch technology is an easy-to-use, discrete and lightweight alternative.

The technology is significantly more comfortable for the patient, so should lead to an increase in the diagnostic yield as a result of improved patient compliance.
