ABOUT DELTEX MEDICAL'S TECHNOLOGY

 

Deltex Medical's TrueVue System uses proprietary haemodynamic monitoring
technology to assist clinicians to improve outcomes for patients as well as
increase throughput and capacity for hospitals. Deltex Medical's haemodynamic
monitoring technologies provide clinicians with beat-to-beat real-time
information on a patient's circulating blood volume and heart function. This
information is critical to enable clinicians to optimise both fluid and drug
delivery to patients.

 

Deltex Medical has invested over the long term to build a unique body of
peer-reviewed, published evidence from a substantial number of trials carried
out around the world. These studies demonstrate statistically significant
improvements in clinical outcomes providing benefits both to patients and to
the hospital systems by increasing patient throughput and expanding hospital
capacity.

 

The Group's flagship, world-leading, ultrasound-based oesophageal Doppler
monitoring ("ODM") is supported by 24 randomised control trials conducted on
anaesthetised patients. As a result, the primary application for ODM is
focussed on guiding therapy for patients undergoing elective surgery. The
Group's new, next generation monitor makes the use of the ODM technology more
intuitive and provides augmented data on the status of each patient.

 

Deltex Medical's engineers and scientists carried out successful research in
conjunction with the UK's National Physical Laboratory ("NPL"), which has
enabled the Group's 'gold standard' ODM technology to be extended and
developed so that it can be used completely non-invasively. This will
significantly expand the application of Deltex Medical's technology to
non-sedated patients. This new technological enhancement in development, which
will be released on the new next generation monitor, will substantially
increase the addressable market for the Group's haemodynamic monitoring
technologies and is complementary to the long-established ODM evidence base.

 

Deltex Medical's new non-invasive technology has potential applications for
use in a number of healthcare settings, including:

§ Accident & Emergency for the rapid triage of patients, including the
detection and diagnosis of sepsis;

§ in general wards to help facilitate a real-time, data-driven treatment
regime for patients whose condition might deteriorate rapidly; and

§ in critical care units to allow regular monitoring of patients post-surgery
who are no longer sedated or intubated.

 

One of the key opportunities for the Group is positioning this new,
non-invasive technology for use throughout the hospital.

 

Deltex Medical's business model is to drive the recurring revenues associated
with the sale of single-use disposable ODM probes which are used in the
TrueVue System and to complement these revenues with a new incremental revenue
stream to be derived from the Group's new non-invasive technology.  Both the
existing single-use ODM probe and the new, non-invasive device will connect to
the same, next generation monitor recently launched.

 

Deltex Medical's customers

 

The principal users of Deltex Medical's products are currently anaesthetists
working in a hospital's operating theatre and intensivists working in ICUs.
This customer profile will change as the Group's new non-invasive technology
is adopted by the market. In the UK the Group sells directly to the NHS. In
the USA the Group sells directly to a range of hospital systems. The Group
also sells through distributors in more than 40 countries in the European
Union, Asia and the Americas.

 

Deltex Medical's objective

 

To see the adoption of Deltex Medical's next generation TrueVue System,
comprising both minimally invasive and non-invasive technologies, as the
standard of care in haemodynamic monitoring for all patients from new-born to
adult, awake or anaesthetised, across all hospital settings globally.
