When completed, the acquisition of AMRIS GmbH, of Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, will provide Biophan with innovative products, technologies, and scientific expertise that extend Biophan's intellectual property portfolio of medical solutions in the fast-growing marketplace of products and procedures that are compatible with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
"The AMRIS technology complements Biophan's very effectively and expands our scientific capabilities significantly," said Biophan's CEO, Michael Weiner. "Equally important, the acquisition will provide an important boost to our marketing capabilities, particularly in Europe, where major manufacturers of MRI machines and biomedical devices are based and where much of the leading research in MRI-guided interventional medicine is currently being conducted."
Following the acquisition, AMRIS will be renamed Biophan Europe, and Michael Friebe, Ph.D., will continue as president. Dr. Friebe will join the Biophan board of directors. AMRIS' Scientific director and Chief Technology Officer, Andreas Melzer, M.D., will join the Biophan Scientific Advisory Board and lead many of Biophan's device developments.
"Even more important to us than the very valuable patents that we are licensing exclusively under this agreement are the extraordinary people in AMRIS who are joining the Biophan team," said Mr. Weiner.
Dr. Friebe is a scientist and entrepreneur trained in MRI related physics at the University of California at San Francisco, one of the world's leading biomedical research centers, and at the University of Witten in Germany. He later started and then sold NEUROMED AG, later renamed UMS NEUROMED after being acquired by United Medical Systems (UMS), a publicly-traded German company. Dr. Friebe is a well-regarded radiology/cardiology oriented entrepreneur with an extensive business and customer network.
Dr. Melzer is a professor of applied biomedical engineering, Director and Chairman of the Board at the Institute for Medical Technologies and Management in Medicine INSITE med. at the University of Applied Sciences in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. He also holds a clinical position as part-time staff radiologist at the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at St. Mary's Hospital Buer in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Dr. Melzer has over 15 years of experience in the development of medical technology for laparo-endoscopic surgery, interventional radiology, Interventional and Intraoperative MRI and MR compatible Robotics, surgical instrumentation, and Nitinol devices. He has co-invented and patented some of the most exciting and important innovations in imaging of medical devices under MRI and he continues to develop and invent. As a practicing physician in radiology, Dr. Melzer has a unique understanding of the needs of patients, the medical device community, the physicians conducting procedures under MRI, and the scientific solutions that are possible. He has co-invented more than 30 patents and has authored over 150 publications. Additionally, Dr. Melzer is engaged as co-organizer, chairman, and invited speaker of various medical conferences and is a board member of several medical societies, as well as professional committees.
"We are extremely excited that we have found a partner who is equally committed to the MRI technology and who provides complementary technologies, products, and markets," commented Dr. Friebe. "Professor Melzer's innovative product ideas and market foresight together with the Biophan resources will be an ideal combination."
In addition, as part of the transaction, Biophan will acquire the worldwide exclusive rights to a significant patent portfolio totaling fifteen issued and pending patents covering critical capabilities needed by the medical industry as the use of MRI interventional medicine and MRI diagnostics for examination of stents and other implants becomes standard medical procedure. This acquisition and related licensing deal will bring the Biophan patent portfolio to 107 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications, in addition to 12 pending European patents.
Among the AMRIS technology assets are an MRI-visible catheter marker, an MRI-visible stent, and a series of MRI-visible medical devices in development. The Company's management and research staff provide world-class intellectual expertise in the field of MRI compatibility, and have been awarded several million dollars in upcoming grants from government agencies to develop its next-generation biomedical technology for MRI.
AMRIS and its principals have contractual and consulting agreements with many of the world's leading biomedical device and MRI machine manufacturers.
MRI, one of medicine's most important imaging technologies, uses magnetic fields to create pictures of the interior of the human body. The powerful magnetic and electromagnetic fields, however, can trigger dangerous or sometimes fatal interactions with many implanted medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers. As a result, MRI is contraindicated for a large patient population, restricting important treatment options for those patients and their physicians. Certain implantable devices, such as stents, cannot be viewed for restenosis reoccurrence under MRI, due to signal interference caused by the stent, which sets up a Faraday Cage effect. As a result, patients with these devices have to undergo invasive procedures with administration of nephrotoxic allergenic contrast agents under radiation-emitting x-ray devices. With the Biophan/AMRIS technology, restenosis reoccurrence can be safely viewed under MRI.

Nach der Übernahme wird AMRIS in Biophan Europe umbenannt; Präsident ist weiterhin Dr. Michael Friebe. Dr. Friebe wird außerdem Mitglied des Direktoriums von Biophan. Der wissenschaftliche Leiter und Leiter der Technik von AMRIS, Dr. med. Andreas Melzer, tritt dem wissenschaftlichen Beratergremium von Biophan bei und wird eine Reihe von technischen Entwicklungen bei Biophan leiten. " Noch wichtiger als die sehr wertvollen Patente, die wir im Rahmen dieser Vereinbarung exklusiv unter Lizenz nehmen, sind für uns die außerordentlichen Mitarbeiter von AMRIS, die das Team von Biophan ergänzen" , sagte Weiner. Dr. Friebe ist Wissenschaftler und Geschäftsmann mit einer Ausbildung in Kernspinphysik von der University of California in San Francisco, einem der weltweit führenden biomedizinischen Forschungszentren, und der Universität Witten. Er ist Gründer der NEUROMED AG, die später an United Medical Systems (UMS), einer öffentlich gehandelten deutschen Gesellschaft, verkauft und zu UMS NEUROMED umbenannt wurde. Dr. Friebe ist anerkannter Geschäftsmann im Bereich Radiologie/Kardiologie mit einem ausgedehnten Netzwerk an Geschäftskontakten und Kunden. Dr. Melzer ist Professor für angewandte Medizintechnik, Direktor und Gremiumsvorsitzender am Institut für innovative Technologien und Management in der Medizin, INSITE med., an der Fachhochschule Gelsenkirschen. Als Teil seiner Tätigkeiten ist er als Radiologe in der Abteilung für diagnostische und interventionelle Radiologie am Sankt-Marien-Hospitals Buer in Gelsenkirchen tätig. Dr. Melzer verfügt über mehr als 15 Jahre Erfahrung in der Entwicklung medizinischer Technologien für laparo-endoskopische Chirurgie sowie in der interventionellen Radiologie, in der interventionellen und intraoperativen Kernspintomografie und kernspinkompatiblen Automatisierung, chirurgischen Instrumentierung und in Bezug auf Nitinol-Vorrichtungen.

Als praktizierender Radiologie verfügt Dr. Melzer über ein besonderes Verständnis der Bedürfnisse der Patienten, der Medizintechnikbranche, der Mediziner, die Verfahren unter Kernspintomografie anwenden, und der realisierbaren, wissenschaftlichen Lösungen. Er ist Miterfinder von mehr als 30 Patenten und Autor von über 150 Fachpublikationen, Darüber hinaus ist Dr. Melzer Mitorganisator, Mit-Vorsitzender und eingeladener Sprecher verschiedener medizinischer Konferenzen und Gremiumsmitglied mehrerer medizinischer Fachgesellschaften und Fachkomitees. " Wir freuen uns sehr, einen Partner gefunden zu haben, der sich ebenso stark wie wir im Bereich der Kernspintechnologie engagiert und über komplementäre Technologien, Produkte und Märkte verfügt" , kommentierte Dr. Friebe. " Professor Melzers innovative Produktideen und Marktvoraussicht sind zusammen mit den Ressourcen von Biophan eine ideale Kombination." Als Teil der Transaktion wird Biophan die weltweiten Exklusivrechte für ein beträchtliches Patentportfolio mit insgesamt fünfzehn erteilten und angemeldeten Patenten für wichtige technische Lösungen für die Medizinbranche übernehmen, da sich die Anwendung MRI-unterstützter, interventioneller Medizin und der MRI-Diagnostik zur Untersuchung von Stents und anderen Implantaten mehr und mehr zu einem medizinischen Standardverfahren entwickelt. Diese Übernahme und die damit verbundene Lizenzvereinbarung erweitern das Patentportfolio von Biophan auf insgesamt 107 US-Patente, Lizenzen oder Anmeldungen sowie auf 12 angemeldete Patente in Europa. Das Technologiekapital von AMRIS umfasst einen in der Kernspintomografie sichtbaren Kathetermarker, einen in der Kernspintomografie sichtbaren Stent und eine Reihe von in der Kernspintomografie sichtbaren, medizinischen Vorrichtungen, die sich gerade in der Entwicklungsphase befinden. Das Management und das wissenschaftliche Team der Firma verfügen über hervorragende Fachkenntnisse und Erfahrungen im Bereich der MRI-Kompatibilität; darüber hinaus sind dem Unternehmen von staatlicher Seite mehrere Millionen Dollar zur Entwicklung biomedizinischer Technologie der nächsten Generation für die Kernspintomografie bereit gestellt worden. AMRIS und seine Direktoren haben vertragliche Vereinbarungen und Beratungsvereinbarungen mit vielen der weltweit führenden Hersteller biomedizinischer Geräte und Kernspintomographen. Bei der Kernspintomografie, einer der wichtigsten Bildgebungstechnologien der modernen Medizin, werden Magnetfelder verwendet, um Bilder des Inneren des menschlichen Körpers zu erzeugen. Die leistungsstarken magnetischen und elektromagnetischen Felder können jedoch gefährliche und manchmal tödliche Störungen vieler implantierter medizinischer Vorrichtungen, wie beispielsweise Herzschrittmachern, auslösen. Die Kernspintomografie eignet sich daher nicht für eine große Anzahl von Patienten, was die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten für diese Patienten und ihre Ärzte einschränkt. Bestimmte implantierbare Vorrichtungen, beispielsweise Stents, lassen sich nicht durch Kernspintomografie auf Restenosen überprüfen, da der Stent, der quasi einen Farraday-Käfig darstellt, eine Signalstörung verursacht. Patienten, denen solche Vorrichtungen eingesetzt wurden, müssen daher invasiv untersucht werden, wobei nephrotoxische, allergene Kontrastmittel injiziert und strahlungsintensive Röntgengeräte verwendet werden. Mit der Technologie von Biophan/AMRIS lässt sich ein erneutes Auftreten einer Stenose gefahrlos in der Kernspintechnologie darstellen.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2005--
New York Times Covers Company´s Purchase of Developer of Advanced MRI-Compatible Medical Devices
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH), a developer ofnext-generation biomedical technology, today provided more details onits acquisition of AMRIS, a German company that designs MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI)-compatible stents and other medical devices,as reported today in the New York Times.
The transaction involves a combination of cash and stock amountingto $2.6 million over the next four years. In addition, key AMRISexecutives will receive combinations of stock and stock options valuedat another $1 million. Under the acquisition, Biophan will acquire a51% interest in AMRIS, whose business interests include European CEmark approvals and ISO 9000 business practices involving MRI Safety.Customers of AMRIS and its subsidiaries include Boston Scientific andothers.
"This acquisition is of extraordinary importance to Biophan," saidMichael Weiner, CEO of Biophan. "It dramatically increases our accessto MRI equipment and expert personnel to test our growing MRI relatedsolutions, support our growing base of customers wishing to adapttheir devices for MRI safety and visualization, and to provide thesales and marketing expertise needed to help the $12+ billionbiomedical device industry begin the process of making their devicesMRI-safe and/or image compatible."
Following the acquisition, AMRIS will be renamed Biophan Europe,and Michael Friebe, Ph.D., will continue as president. Dr. Friebe willjoin the Biophan board of directors. AMRIS´ Scientific director andChief Technology Officer, Andreas Melzer, M.D., will join the BiophanScientific Advisory Board and lead many of Biophan´s devicedevelopments.
MRI is one of medicine´s most important imaging and diagnostictools. It uses powerful magnetic fields to create internal images ofthe human body. However, many medical devices--such as cardiovascularstents and vena cava filters--cannot be effectively imaged with theMRI imaging process, and devices such as pacemakers and defibrillatorsare unsafe near an MRI machine.
To date, biomedical industry leaders Boston Scientific andMedtronic have announced involvement in projects to make certainproduct lines MRI-safe. Biophan announced last year an expandedrelationship with Boston Scientific to develop several types ofmedical devices that are both MRI-safe and image compatible. Biophanhas also announced the issuance of a number of key patents onnext-generation methods to make a range of medical devices both safeand imageable under MRI.
As part of the overall AMRIS acquisition, Biophan receives theworldwide exclusive license to fifteen issued and pending patents heldby Dr. Melzer, a physician and radiologist active in the developmentof MRI related surgical tools and diagnostics procedures. One of theissued U.S. patents covers the addition of resonant circuits to abroad range of medical devices to make them MRI-imageable. "Thistechnology is a powerful complement to Biophan´s thin filmnanomagnetic particle coating technology," said Mr. Weiner. "Inaddition, Dr. Melzer´s patent also includes a potentially valuablemethod of placing a stent in a fine wire mesh which can make virtuallyany stent visible under MRI. The AMRIS innovation can allow MRIvisible stents to enter the market that much faster, and thecombination gives Biophan access to multiple approaches to stentvisibility."
Today stents that are suspected of being blocked afterimplantation often require an invasive procedure to image anddiagnose. Biophan and AMRIS solutions enable stents to be viewed underMRI without being subject to the Faraday Cage effect, an electricalphenomenon that ordinarily makes stent-imaging extremely difficult.
"We wish to offer our customers the broadest possible set ofalternative solutions to making devices safe and visible, said Mr.Weiner. "The AMRIS patents will further strengthen Biophan´s richintellectual property portfolio, which includes patents under licensefrom Johns Hopkins University and Nanoset, LLC. The exclusive licensefrom AMP, a holding company owned by Dr. Melzer and Dr. Friebe, apartner in AMRIS, are a key component of our overall acquisitionstrategy. Equally important, the acquisition of AMRIS enables us toharness the expertise and creativity of Dr. Melzer and his team, withtheir proven abilities for continued innovation. Biophan will alsobenefit from ongoing work AMRIS is conducting with several milliondollars in government grants, covering a variety of devices indevelopment. Biophan will supply the needed matching funds."
"The transition for a $12+ billion dollar industry to adopt thesenew technologies which will allow them to make devices safe andcompatible with MRI is going to take time and resources," said Mr.Weiner. "This acquisition gives Biophan significant additionaltechnical, intellectual and human resources to help accomplish whathas been, from our founding in 2000, our primary mission."
