Negative

• None.

The Company’s nsPFA™ System demonstrates the ability to provide cardiac ablation and mapping capabilities with a single catheter in preclinical studies

The Company collaborated with CardioNXT to integrate its iMap System with the nsPFA System to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated 3D Mapping, Navigation and nsPFA System

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLSE), a company leveraging its novel and proprietary nanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA™) technology for electrophysiology and the treatment of atrial fibrillation, today announced its technology will be highlighted in a poster presentation at the 28th Annual International AF Symposium meeting in Boston February 2–4.

The poster highlights the integration of Pulse Bioscience’s nsPFA System with CardioNXT’s iMAP 3-D mapping and navigation system. The preclinical study demonstrated the integrated system’s ability to navigate the catheter for accurate ablation and to create pre and post-ablation voltage maps.

“We are excited to announce our work and collaborative efforts with CardioNXT and these highly respected physicians to develop a new and exciting modality for cardiac ablation and the treatment of arrhythmias,” said Kevin Danahy, CEO and President of Pulse Biosciences. “Although it’s still in the early innings, we are pleased with the preclinical data that suggests we’ve made encouraging progress with our new proprietary circumferential nsPFA catheter system. This offering has the potential to improve patient outcomes by combining the latest technologies in pulsed field ablation and 3D mapping and navigation.”

About Pulsed Field Ablation

Pulsed field ablation is an exciting new modality for ablating tissue and in particular cardiac tissue for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Current treatment options, including existing PFA systems, utilize pulse durations in the microseconds, stimulating skeletal muscle resulting in patient spasm. As such, deeper sedation and paralytics may be needed during these procedures. To combat this dynamic Pulse Biosciences developed the nsPFA System utilizing pulse durations in the nanosecond range.
