Commercialising non-invasive cardiac monitoring technology

Rob Phillips MPhil(med), FASE, DMU(cardiol) Chief Executive Officer

November 2012

Who we are and what we do…

  • Publicly listed bioscience company with world leading cardiovascular monitoring technology

  • Focused on commercialising non-invasive USCOM 1A

  • 10 years + $18 million proving accuracy, safety and efficacy

Foundations for growth: clinical data

  • Uscom has invested in building a large body of clinical evidence used to support global marketing and sales

  • 250 peer reviewed publications to date – with more coming!

  • Multi-application platform technology

  • New data expands product application beyond current applications - i.e. , can be done by GP instead of under anaesthetic at a hospital.

  • Medical benefits: non-invasive, safe and accurate, improved levels of critical care

Economic benefits: meets user and payer needs for improved care and reduced costs, expandable platform with multiple applications

Cardiac monitoring landscape

Clinical assessment

  • BP, HR, colour, reperfusion time etc. Inaccurate

Non-invasive

  • USCOM – Transcutaneous CW Doppler safe, accurate, effective

  • ICG – Bio-impedance inaccurate and unproven

  • Tonometry – Transcutaneous APP BP measure and difficult to use

Less invasive

  • Calibrated APP

  • PiCCO – transpulmonary thermodilution invasive catheters/infection

  • LiDCO – LiCl dilution invasive catheters/infection

  • Uncalibrated APP

  • LiDCOr invasive catheters/infection

  • FloTrac Invasive catheters/infection

  • NiCCO – Expired CO2 exchange requires intubation

  • TODoppler – DTA flow requires sedation

Invasive

  • Swan – Thermodilution (bolus, CCO) invasive catheters/infection

  • Fick – Oxygen concentration invasive catheters/infection

  • Art or central line – Arterial or venous pressures invasive catheters

What the experts say...

“This machine is saving lives, there are no two ways about it”

Professor Brendan Smith, Anesthetist, Intensivist and Emergency Physician, Bathurst Base Hospital, N.S.W. Dept of Health, Australia

“The USCOM device is a simple method of accurately and noninvasively measuring central

circulation, a goal of cardiology for many years… the device has the potential to change the way we approach management of many cardiovascular diseases including sepsis, heart failure and hypertension”

Professor Malcolm West, Cardiologist, Mayne Professor of Medicine at The University of Queensland School of Medicine, Brisbane, Australia.

“I have used USCOM for over 5 years now on our very sick children, and use it to guide management. We are now beginning multi-centre, global research which will define the way USCOM is used in Paediatric Departments across the world”

Dr Joe Brierley, Consultant Intensivist, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, London, UK .

To parents and doctors this machine, USCOM, is priceless. This machine is thought to

have saved baby Abbies life

BBC Documentary “New machine helps save babies life”, 2010, Nottingham Children’s Hospital
