EP MedSystems Receives Market Clearance from FDA for
Steerable Cardiac Catheters

WEST BERLIN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2004--EP MedSystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EPMD - News), a market leader in electrophysiology products used to diagnose and treat certain types of cardiac rhythm disorders, announced today that it had received market clearance from the FDA for its line of deflectable diagnostic catheters. A deflectable catheter allows the physician to deflect its tip to steer the catheter into certain vessels and areas of the heart, which would be difficult with a fixed curve catheter. These catheters connect to the Company's EP-WorkMate® Electrophysiology Workstation, as well as other technologies that and are used in the monitoring and diagnosis of arrhythmias in the heart.

EP MedSystems' President & CEO Reinhard Schmidt commented: "This market clearance continues to increase functionality across our three product platforms. It expands our catheter product line by giving physicians the ability to monitor difficult to reach areas of the heart. In addition, we believe this approval opens up a new market opportunity for EP MedSystems as many EP Physicians demand the increased maneuverability and ease of use offered by our new deflectable catheter line."
