PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zargis Medical Corp., a

auscultation, reviews the clinical challenges and opportunities, and evaluates
the use of echocardiography in the assessment of patients with heart murmurs.

About Zargis Medical Corp.
Zargis Medical Corp. was formed in January 2001 when Siemens Corporate Research
Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens AG (NYSE:SI), and Speedus Corp. (NASDAQ:SPDE)
co-invested in Zargis to further develop and commercially market an advanced
acoustic technology for detecting abnormalities identified through analysis of
heart sounds. Based in Princeton, New Jersey, Zargis is developing advanced
diagnostic decision support products and services for primary care physicians,
pediatricians, cardiologists and other healthcare professionals.
Zargis has developed Cardioscan, the first and only FDA approved computer-
assisted medical device to support physicians in analyzing heart sounds for the
identification of suspected murmurs, a potential sign of heart disease.
Cardioscan is easy to use, non-invasive, portable, and takes just minutes to
perform. Developed by scientists from Siemens and Zargis over many years,
Cardioscan implements voice-guided protocol and graphical user interface while
maintaining an efficient physician workflow. The system provides a summary of
findings in terms that are readily understood by physicians with more
quantitative auscultatory information than is possible through listening alone.
Thus, Cardioscan enhances auscultation which has been universally employed
through a stethoscope for nearly two hundred years.
