Vicor Technologies Receives Institutional Review Board Approval for Study to Identify Normal Ranges for PD2i(R) Values Obtained From Tests Performed With Its PD2i Analyzer(TM)
BOCA RATON, FL, Sep 28, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — David H. Fater, CEO of Vicor Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: VCRT), today announced that the Company has received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for a study to identify normal ranges for PD2i(R) values obtained from tests performed with its PD2i Analyzer(TM) on patients at rest, and in response to controlled exercise and paced respiration. The study will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Vicor Technologies is a biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative, non-invasive medical devices using its patented, proprietary PD2i(R) nonlinear algorithm and software. Vicor is currently in the process of commercializing diagnostics that accurately risk stratify specific target populations for future pathological events including cardiac death resulting from arrhythmia or pump failure, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and trauma victims in need of lifesaving intervention.

“We’re pleased to have IRB approval permitting us to commence this important study. Being able to identify normal ranges for values obtained from tests performed with the PD2i Analyzer(TM) will enhance the ability of those physicians using the PD2i Analyzer(TM) to identify — and treat — their at-risk patients. With this approval, we will begin enrolling patients and our intention is to include these results in a revised 510(k) submission to the FDA at the conclusion of the study,” stated Mr. Fater.

The IRB reviews research to ensure that the federal regulations for protecting human research participants outlined in UMMC policy, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulations (45 CFR 46) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations (21 CFR Parts 50 & 56), as well as other requirements, are met.

About Vicor Technologies, Inc. Vicor Technologies is a biotechnology company creating innovative non-invasive diagnostics employing its patented, proprietary point correlation dimension algorithm (PD2i(R)). The PD2i(R) nonlinear algorithm is a deterministic, nonlinear measure of electrophysiological potentials that predicts future pathological events with a high degree of accuracy in target populations.

Vicor currently has three products employing the PD2i(R) nonlinear algorithm. The PD2i Analyzer(TM), which has FDA 510(k) marketing clearance, measures heart rate variability; physicians performing diagnostic tests with the PD2i Analyzer(TM) are able to receive reimbursement under existing CPT codes. The PD2i VS(TM) (Vital Sign), in clinical trials under a collaborative effort with the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research (http://www.usaisr.amedd.army.mil/), risk stratifies combat and civilian trauma victims. The PD2i CA(TM) (Cardiac Analyzer), in multiple clinical trials, identifies patients at risk of sudden cardiac death.

Vicor anticipates additional applications employing the PD2i(R) nonlinear algorithm to enable early detection and risk stratification for a variety of other disorders and diseases. Additional information is available at www.vicortech.com.
