BioTelemetry, Inc. announced a sales agent agreement with Boston Scientific. With this agreement, BioTelemetry becomes a sales agent in the United States for the Boston Scientific LUX-Dx™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System to an agreed upon subset of customers. The LUX-Dx ICM System is the first ICM device with remote programming and also offers a dual-stage arrythmia detection algorithm.

BioTelemetry is the market leader in the wearable cardiac diagnostic monitoring space and provides its Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF) services to customers that do not have the capacity or capability to monitor their device patients. This sales agent agreement adds ICM to its already diverse device portfolio of Holter, Extended Holter and Event monitors, and its Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT™) monitor. The United States ICM market is large and growing, and with this solution, both companies can access an expanded customer base while maintaining focus on their core businesses.

BioTelemetry processes over four billion heartbeats per day and monitors over one million patients each year. It is the pioneer in remote patient monitoring, revolutionizing healthcare with its suite of cardiac monitoring devices and cloud-based vendor-neutral remote monitoring platform, including its FDA-cleared ePatch™ and MCOT™ monitors. BioTelemetry advances health by providing technology and services that enable healthcare providers to monitor and diagnose patients and clinical research subjects in a more efficient, accurate and cost-effective manner.
