ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ImpediMed Secures Order from Large US Oncology Care Network
Brisbane, Australia – ImpediMed Limited (ASX.IPD), a medical software technology company that non-invasively measures, monitors and manages fluid status and tissue composition using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), is pleased to announce the first order of 16 units under the recently announced national purchasing agreement with a U.S. oncology care network for its SOZO[®] Digital Health Platform and Lymphoedema Prevention Program.
“The initial order of 16 SOZO units will establish a comprehensive Lymphoedema Prevention Program in key centres from this nationally recognized oncology care network,” said Richard Carreon, Managing Director and CEO of ImpediMed. “We believe these centres will develop the model from which we will jointly expand our program nationally.”
The national purchasing agreement, which was announced on 23 March 2020, allows 1,200 physicians at 470 cancer treatment locations across the U.S. access to SOZO and ImpediMed’s BIS (L-Dex[®] ) lymphoedema assessment. Together, these physicians treat over 1 million patients annually.
The Lymphoedema Prevention Program utilises ImpediMed's Test, Trigger, Treat™ protocol for early detection and intervention of cancer-related lymphoedema. Routine lymphoedema testing of cancer survivors uses the company's SOZO device with BIS (LDex) technology. A significant increase in a patient's L-Dex score is a trigger to evaluate the patient and initiate intervention. ImpediMed's PREVENT Trial, the largest multi-site, randomised controlled trial ever performed to study lymphoedema prevention, showed that this protocol resulted in a 95% reduction in lymphoedema progression at one year.
Currently, one in three at-risk cancer survivors will develop secondary lymphoedema related to their cancer treatment, costing the U.S. healthcare system approximately $7 billion every year. The aim of the Lymphoedema Prevention Program is to help educate healthcare providers and patients that with the proper protocols in place, lymphoedema can be detected and managed before it becomes a debilitating chronic condition.

Approved for release by the Managing Director and CEO, Mr Richard Carreon.
