BioSig Technologies Inc said that it is installing a PURE EP System for an evaluation at the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) Healthcare-operated Westside Regional Medical Center in Plantation, Florida.
Westside Regional Medical Center is an award-winning, 250-bed hospital recognized for providing a wide array of services to the residents of Broward County, South Florida, and visitors from around the world. The hospital is a facility of HCA East Florida, the most extensive healthcare system in Eastern Florida and an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America.
The Westport, Connecticut-based company said that the hospital’s electrophysiology program is one of the most frequented in Broward County, offering advanced diagnostic services and multiple modalities for diagnosing and treating arrhythmia.

“Our new installation agreement with Westside Regional Medical Center increases our clinical reach across the state, with an installation in both the north and south regions of Florida,” said Kenneth Londoner, CEO of BioSig Technologies.
He added: “We are thrilled to partner with another leading HCA Healthcare-operated institution and continue to solidify our commitment to arrhythmia patient care across the state of Florida.”
The company noted that to date, 73 physicians have completed over 1750 patient cases with the PURE EP System. It is in a focused commercial launch of the PURE EP System in the Northeast, Texas, and Florida.
BioSig’s most recent evaluation adds to its clinical footprint in Florida, which also includes Mayo Clinic’s Florida Campus, a national Medical Center of Excellence.
Clinical data acquired by the PURE EP System in a multi-center study at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, and Massachusetts General Hospital was recently published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and is available electronically with open access via the Wiley Online Library, the company said.
The study results showed 93% consensus across the blinded reviewers with a 75% overall improvement in intracardiac signal quality and confidence in interpreting PURE EP signals over conventional sources.
About 2,300 Americans die from heart disease each day – an average of one death every 38 seconds. In 2016, 1.6 million Texas adults reported that they had been diagnosed with heart disease or stroke. The direct and indirect costs of heart disease and stroke in the U.S. are estimated to be $329.7 billion, and the cost is projected to increase to $749 billion by 2035.
