First Patients Examined in China

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwired - Dec. 18, 2014) - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint") (TSX VENTURE:VPT) is pleased to announce that it has installed its VMS™ heart analysis system at the Shandong Provincial Hospital (SPH) in Jinan, China and has examined a number of patients. The SPH does 300 cardiac ultrasound exams a day and has nine other hospitals in its group.

"The cardiologists in our hospital have been conducting research on the right ventricle for a long time and have achieved significant results in this field of study. The VMS is a convenient and valuable diagnostic tool, which allows our cardiology team to create fast and accurate reconstructions of the right ventricle", said Director Guo Wen Bin, Director of the Ultrasound Centre at SPH and also the Director of the Image and Ultrasound Association in Shandong Province. "I am very impressed that the cardiologists in our ultrasound center were able to master the VMS so quickly and obtain accurate results for the right ventricle. The quantitative medical data is very useful in diagnostics, clinical treatment, and medical research. "

"The scale of echocardiography in China is truly a wonder and their cardiologists enthusiastically embraced the ability to obtain functional information about the right heart in a few minutes using the VMS heart analysis system", said Dr. George Adams, CEO of Ventripoint. "The pioneer VMS machine in China has attracted the attention of cardiologists in hospitals and universities from different cities. The opportunity and marketplace in China is absolutely enormous and the best part is, it's untapped. Our potential revenue forecasts in China alone could easily propel our company to the next level so I am very excited to see where these prospects lead to in 2015. With such positive feedback from doctors, we are one step closer towards distributing the VMS machines throughout the country."
