Cardiac Network, Inc. Confirms LOI for Exclusive License Agreement With Pacific Innovations

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 09, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cardiac Network, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CNWI) confirmed today that it has begun executing the terms under a binding Letter of Intent, or LOI, signed with Pacific Innovations, LLC, a private technology development company. The LOI is for a worldwide license agreement granting Cardiac Network an exclusive right to license all intellectual property relating to a new technologically advanced cardiac monitoring system.

Under the terms of the agreement, Cardiac Network just paid a deposit towards an upfront license fee, and Pacific Innovations will be entitled to ongoing IP license fees, success based milestones and royalties on product sales. The devices will be proprietary, patented by Pacific Innovations, and available to Cardiac Network exclusively.

As previously announced, the new cardiac monitoring device prototype, expected to be demonstrated during the second quarter of 2010, will include a user-friendly patient online interface to allow access through wireless and WiFi networks to a secure central monitoring database for purposes of uploading and storing electrocardiogram, or ECG, data measuring electrical activity of the heart.

In addition, Cardiac Network will help fund ongoing research work within its current network of hospitals aimed at further validation of the health benefits of using its cardiac monitoring system for early detection and monitoring of at-risk heart patients.

The license agreement and royalties payable to Pacific Innovations under the agreement cover devices sold to hospitals, physicians and patients worldwide, and Cardiac Network will work with national healthcare providers to seek reimbursement coverage for their members under their medical plans.
