TopSpin Medical announces first commercial installation of the Cathamaran™ Intravascular System

January 29, 2008 – TEL AVIV, ISRAEL: Topspin Medical, Inc. (TASE: TOPMD) announces first commercial installation of the Cathamaran™ Intravascular MRI System at ZOL Hospital, Genk, Belgium, with the first procedures performed on January 16th.

“We are pleased to be the first site to install the Cathamaran™ IVMRI System. This 6F compatible technology represents a major breakthrough in our ability to detect and quantify lipid present in coronary lesions. We are very excited to be among the first centers to participate in the MIRACLE Study to further evaluate the clinical role for IVMRI in both diagnostic and interventional coronary catheterization procedures. The identification of high risk, lipid -rich lesions that may be prone to rupture is of paramount importance, and the IVMRI System may potentially help address this unmet need,” stated Dr. M. Vrolix from ZOL hospital, Belgium.
