Topspin Medical Announces First Commercial Installation of the Cathamaran Intravascular MRI System

January 30, 2008 - TopSpin Medical Inc. announced the first commercial installation of the Cathamaran Intravascular MRI System at ZOL Hospital, Genk, Belgium, with the first procedures performed on Jan. 16.

"We are pleased to be the first site to install the Cathamaran IVMRI System. This 6F compatible technology represents a major breakthrough in our ability to detect and quantify lipid present in coronary lesions. We are very excited to be among the first centers to participate in the MIRACLE Study to further evaluate the clinical role for IVMRI in both diagnostic and interventional coronary catheterization procedures. The identification of high risk, lipid -rich lesions that may be prone to rupture is of paramount importance, and the IVMRI System may potentially help address this unmet need," stated Dr. M. Vrolix from ZOL hospital, Belgium.

The company and the distributor are currently in advance negotiation for similar agreements with additional medical centers in the Benelux territory. The company is expecting to install additional Cathamaran Intravascular MRI systems in the Benelux territory in the course of the current quarter.

The Cathamaran IVMRI System will be used in a post-market study of coronary plaque lipid characterization by IVMRI performed during diagnostic or interventional catheterization [MIRACLE Study]. The multi-national prospective MIRACLE Study is designed to collect data on a widespread post-market clinical experience to evaluate how lipid quantification with the IVMRI System may be used to guide patient treatment.
