TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 26, 2012) -CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EKG) ("CardioComm Solutions" or the "Company") today announced an exclusive distribution agreement with WAISCO Medical and Scientific Solutions, a division of WAISCO Group ("WAISCO"), for exclusive distribution of the HeartCheck™ PEN and HeartCheck™ ECG Monitor within the territories of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

"These three countries represent key markets for us in the Middle East with a combined population of nearly 40 million and heavy investments into health infrastructure and medical technologies," said Etienne Grima, Chief Executive Officer of CardioComm Solutions. "We worked with the Canadian Trade Commissioner and other partners in the region to identify and evaluate a number of potential distributors for these key territories. While the due diligence took several months to complete, we selected WAISCO as our main distributor for the HeartCheck™ Products. WAISCO will coordinate with several other medical device sales companies within the three countries that had themselves undergone review for exclusive distribution rights."

WAISCO will have twelve months to complete the regulatory application process within all three countries; however, it is expected to take less than six months to implement first sales. Two requirements for approval in these regions are FDA clearance and ISO certification, both of which the CardioComm Solutions already has.

Under the terms of the agreement, WAISCO has committed to order a minimum of 15,000 HeartCheck™ devices within the first year to be received in quarterly shipments. In the second year, WAISCO will place minimum quarterly orders of 40,000 units totaling an annual volume of 160,000 units. The agreement is renewable in two year cycles for a maximum of ten years and is conditional on the minimum annual targets being achieved.

"We are pleased to have secured this contract. The HeartCheck™ devices will fulfill a need for cost effective and reliable ECG monitoring in both the community and hospital setting. WAISCO is connected with numerous hospitals, clinic and pharmacies in the region and we anticipate sales to start as soon as approvals are in place. Preliminary market reviews have shown significant interest in the HeartCheck™ PEN specifically, which is primarily why we engaged CardioComm Solutions to contract with WAISCO," said Magid Hegab, Sales Manager for WAISCO.

Revenue to the CardioComm Solutions will be realized from device sales as well as from the Smart Monitoring service. With the HeartCheck™ PEN cleared in December 2011 as an ECG unlockable, over-the-counter heart rhythm monitor device and in May 2012 as an unlocked prescription ECG monitor, consumer and physician markets are both now available to generate significant revenue.

"We are pleased with this first distributor agreement and are working to qualify additional medical supply companies over the summer in advance of large volume production runs. This is the first of several agreements expected this summer," added Etienne Grima.
