• VMS+4.0 submitted to Health Canada on July 25th for Medical Device License 

• Ventripoint will market new advances following Health Canada approval 

Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - August 12, 2024 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company"), (TSXV:VPT; OTC:VPTDF) has reached another development milestone by submitting its next generation of software, VMS+4.0, to Health Canada for a Medical Device License to market the upgraded product in Canada.

This latest advance of Ventripoint’s AI-powered technology, which rapidly processes ultrasound images of the heart to generate MRI-quality measurements of all four cardiac chambers, is designed to integrate into the workflow of hospitals, clinics and caregivers.

Upon issuance of the Medical Device License, Ventripoint will market the new version of VMS+ to Canadian customers. “It has taken our team two years of research and development to reach this major milestone,” said Ventripoint President and CEO, Hugh MacNaught. “VMS+4.0 promises to become one of the simplest, cost effective, and non-invasive heart-imaging tools in the market.”

Ventripoint submitted VMS+4.0 for licensing to Health Canada on July 25th as a new Class II Medical Device Application with software and hardware updates and featuring diagnostic advances. VMS+3.0 has already received regulatory clearances from US-FDA, Health Canada, the United Kingdom (U.K.) and the European Union (E.U.) and is being used by leading hospitals in the U.S., E.U., U.K. and Canada.  We are also pursuing regulatory clearance in other key markets such as the E.U., U.K and U.S.A. to make this newest version of VMS+ available to the global community.
