ROCHESTER, N. (OTCBB:BIPH), a developer of
next-generation biomedical technology, has announced that the U. It is intended for use in numerous biomedical diagnostic
applications that require the sensing of electromagnetic fields at the
body surface, and the transmission of information about those fields
along the photonic lead. This is a particularly worrisome
problem if the implantable pacemaker lead has problems, including wear
or other defects that impede optimal current flow, such as corrosion
or partial breakage."

Until pacemakers are made MRI safe by pacemaker manufacturers,
dedicated physicians will continue to attempt to find ways to reduce
the risks associated with giving a pacemaker patient an MRI scan. One
of the risks in giving a pacemaker recipient an MRI is the danger that
the electrical currents induced in the lead by the MRI gradient field
sweeping across the body will induce fibrillation in the patient. Biophan and its licensors hold a total of 114 U.
