EP MedSystems Receives Market Clearance
from FDA for Constant Voltage EP-4 Stimulator

WEST BERLIN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2004--EP MedSystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EPMD - News), a market leader in electrophysiology (EP) products used to diagnose and treat certain types of cardiac rhythm disorders, announced today that it had received market clearance from the FDA for an enhancement to its EP-4 Computerized Cardiac Stimulator allowing the physician to stimulate the heart using either constant current or constant voltage output. The enhanced stimulator now can be used in both EP diagnostic studies of the heart and pacemaker implantations where measuring voltage thresholds are fundamental. The stimulator is integrated with the Company's EP-WorkMate® Electrophysiology Workstation, as well as other diagnostic technologies used in the monitoring and diagnosis of arrhythmias in the heart.

EP MedSystems' President & CEO Reinhard Schmidt commented: "This market clearance is an exciting milestone in our commitment to develop and deliver a state of the art product suite. As the only stimulator with FDA clearance capable of both constant voltage and constant current output, this opens a significant new market opportunity. This clearance gives us a competitive advantage over other EP stimulator manufacturers, who currently only offer constant current stimulators, and further reinforces EP MedSystems' position as a market leader in meeting the demanding needs of EP Physicians by offering a multi-functional, streamlined, and cost efficient product line. We see this approval contributing to our continued accelerated revenue growth for the balance of this year."
