ANNEX 1
CARDIOGENICS BUSINESS SUMMARY
CardioGenics Inc. (“CardioGenics”) was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on November 20th, 1997 by Dr. Yahia Gawad to develop technology and products targeting the immunoassay segment of the In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) testing market. CardioGenics has developed the QL Care Analyzer (“QLCA”), a proprietary point of care immuno-analyzer and a series of tests for cardiovascular diagnostics. To date, CardioGenics has invested approximately $4.0 million in product development. The full scope of CardioGenics’ technology and all aspects of chemical entrapment in bioassays are covered under CardioGenics patents.
The QLCA operates through a pre-loaded disposable test cartridge, which uses a core technology that delivers medical-lab quality test results at the point of care. Unlike many other point of care and lab-based diagnostic equipment CardioGenics’ disposable cartridge will allow tests to be run using whole blood in lieu of blood plasma, thereby simplifying and expediting the test procedure.
CardioGenics’ first four immunoassay tests will identify proteins occurring during cardiovascular diseases. The QLCA is small, self-contained, completely automated and the operator does not require specialized training. Testing can be completed in 15 minutes using the pre-loaded test cartridge and a few drops of whole blood. A typical test sequence is depicted below.
Ü | Operator initiates the QL Care® analyzer by opening the flip top and tapping the graphical touch screen |
Ü | Operator adds a drop of patient’s blood to the cartridge and closes the door, initiating the test |
Ü | Operator opens the cartridge door and inserts our proprietary cartridge containing all reagents for the test |
Ü | QL Care® analyzer automatically identifies the test from the cartridge barcode, loads the corresponding software and runs the test |
Ü | 15 minutes later, the test results are displayed on the monitor, stored in the analyzer, forwarded to a network or printed on the internal printer |
Ü | The cartridge is removed and disposed; the QL Care® analyzer is ready for the next test |
As part of the development of its core proprietary technology, CardioGenics has also developed a proprietary method for silver coating paramagnetic microspheres (a fundamental platform component of immunoassay equipment) (“Beads”) to improve instrument sensitivity to light.
CardioGenics plans to submit the QLCA and its first cardiovascular diagnostic test (Troponin I) for United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval within 12-14 months from the closing of the acquisition. The Beads are market ready.
