  • Fluid imbalance can have significant clinical implications

  • Fluid levels are incredibly predictive (actionable information)

  • Excess fluid can lead to chronic swelling, lymphoedema, left ventricular complications, etc.

  • Excess fluid is also indicative of heart failure stage and severity

  • • Fluid imbalances in dialysis patents can cause adverse events and contributes to higher mortality/morbidity rates

  • Accurate fluid and body composition measurements are key components of a patient’s clinical diagnosis and treatment Optimising fluid levels in cancer and dialysis patients is likely to have profound impact on reducing hospitalisation rates and mortality

  • Current measurements tools are rudimentary and unreliable, or prohibitively expensive, complicated and invasive

  • High-tech tools include CT scan, MRI, X-Ray absorptiometry, isotope dilution (lymphoscintigraphy) and perometry

  • Low-tech tools include tape measure, “pinching” with calipers, and water displacement

  • Images courtesy of Macquarie University

  • Measurements using bioimpedance at a single frequency can be used to estimate body composition (limited capabilities)

  • However, multiple frequencies are required to obtain complete information of tissue composition and fluid burden

• ImpediMed’s patented technology utilises 256 frequencies effectively creating a spectrum of bioimpedance

• Using a spectrum of data obtained by BIS allows a direct and detailed measure of tissue composition (muscle, fluid, fat)

US addressable market $350+ million per year (assumes $30 per reading)

• Lymphoedema affects ~1 in 3 cancer survivors • 900,000+ relevant new cancer cases per year

• Lymphoedema is a progressive swelling that can occur following cancer treatment due to lymph nodes being removed, damaged or irradiated • Lymphoedema can become a chronic, debilitating, life-long condition • Current measurements and treatments are reactive rather than proactive and actionable

  • Clinical practice is moving towards early detection and early intervention

  • Current techniques used to assess lymphoedema cannot detect it before it is visibly apparent

  • L-Dex is able to detect minute changes in extracellular fluid (i.e. 35 mls versus other technologies 200 mls - 300 mls) L-Dex detects lymphoedema up to 200 days prior to current techniques

==> picture [125 x 186] intentionally omitted <==

  • “BIS is a significant leap in technology. It is able to detect lymphedema at the earliest possible stage of

  • development (stage 0) where treatment is the most

  • effective, and can potentially stabilize or even reverse the early stage lymphedema.”

This patient has subclinical lymphoedema identified by L-Dex allowing early treatment

  • Dr. Stanley Rockson, Stanford University Medical Center, 2013

  • BIS is a platform technology for precise measurement of:

  • Fluid Levels – e.g. fluid burden; fluid change; hydration; oedema

  • Tissue Composition – e.g. fat mass; lean body mass

  • Fluid Levels and Tissue Composition are incredible predictors of health • Fluid Levels- e.g. lymphoedema; dialysis; heart failure; hydration

  • • Tissue Composition – e.g. obesity; nutrition; muscle wasting; wound care; geriatric health

ImpediMed's regulatory approvals (FDA, TGA and CE Mark) cover a number of these potential applications;

  • Both in the clinical and at-home settings

  • Increasing engagement by physicians around various potential applications of our technology
