Xenon MRI to be featured at upcoming ATS 2024 conference
Polarean selected as a featured company at Respiratory Innovation Summit
Polarean Imaging plc (AIM: POLX), a commercial-stage medical device leader in advanced magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") of lung function, has been selected as one of the featured companies and a poster presenter at the American Thoracic Society's ("ATS") 2024 Respiratory Innovation Summit ("RIS"). The summit is scheduled to take place from 17-18 May in San Diego, CA, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego.
The Respiratory Innovation Summit, a premier event in the field of pulmonary medicine, unites innovators, investors, clinicians, and advocacy groups. The meeting historically attracts more than 275 global leaders representing all facets of the respiratory industry, including start-ups, venture capital, government, academia, and clinicians.
Following the Respiratory Innovation Summit, members of Polarean's executive team, including Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer; Alex Dusek, Chief Commercial Officer; and Kiarash Emami, Ph.D., VP of Technology & Applications management, will be in attendance the 2024 ATS International Conference, held from 19-22 May, at booth #2813.
This year, the breadth of Xenon MRI research and the number of displays is set to outpace all previous years, with 33 presentations from 10 different sites and multiple categories, including asthma, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, COPD, COVID-19, cystic fibrosis, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, lung cancer resection, radiation-induced lung injury, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and thoracic insufficiency syndrome.
Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., CEO of Polarean, said: "We are delighted to have been selected as a featured company at The Respiratory Innovation Summit, which is testament to the value of our XENOVIEW technology being recognised across lung clinicians and pulmonary drug developers. The RIS and the ATS annual conference serve as invaluable venues to spotlight our Xenon MRI platform, especially to those enthusiastic about fostering collaborative partnerships. These events provide an unparalleled opportunity to elevate awareness of our technology among clinicians, regulators, investors, and potential pharmaceutical industry partners.
"As we strive to advance our commercialization strategy, the increase in Xenon MRI posters and presentations marks significant strides in amplifying understanding and enthusiasm for Xenon MRI and the spectrum of therapeutic disciplines that could benefit from our technology."

About Polarean
Polarean is a revenue-generating medical imaging technology company revolutionizing pulmonary medicine through direct visualisation of lung function by introducing the power and safety of MRI to the respiratory healthcare community. This community is in desperate need of modern solutions to accurately assess lung function. The Company strives to optimise lung health and prevent avoidable loss by illuminating hidden disease, addressing the global unmet medical needs of more than 500 million patients worldwide suffering from chronic respiratory disease. Polarean is a leader in the field of hyperpolarisation science and has successfully developed the first and only hyperpolarised Xenon MRI inhaled contrast agent, XENOVIEW™, which is now FDA-approved in the United States. Polarean is dedicated to researching, developing, and commercialising innovative imaging solutions with its non-invasive and radiation-free pulmonary functional MRI platform. This comprehensive drug-device platform encompasses the proprietary Xenon gas blend, gas hyperpolarisation system, as well as software and accessories, facilitating fully integrated modern respiratory imaging operations. Founded in 2012, with offices in Durham, NC, and London, United Kingdom, Polarean is committed to increasing global awareness of and broad access to its XENOVIEW MRI technology platform.

XENOVIEW IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Indication
XENOVIEW™, prepared from the Xenon Xe 129 Gas Blend, is a hyperpolarized contrast agent indicated for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation of lung ventilation in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.
Limitations of Use
XENOVIEW has not been evaluated for use with lung perfusion imaging.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
None.
Warnings and Precautions
Risk of Decreased Image Quality from Supplemental Oxygen: Supplemental oxygen administered simultaneously with XENOVIEW inhalation can cause degradation of image quality. For patients on supplemental oxygen, withhold oxygen inhalation for two breaths prior to XENOVIEW inhalation, and resume oxygen inhalation immediately following the imaging breath hold.
Risk of Transient Hypoxia: Inhalation of an anoxic gas such as XENOVIEW may cause transient hypoxemia in susceptible patients. Monitor all patients for oxygen desaturation and symptoms of hypoxemia and treat as clinically indicated.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients: The adverse reactions (> one patient) in efficacy trials were oropharyngeal pain, headache, and dizziness. Adverse Reactions in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: In published literature in pediatric patients aged 6 to 18, transient adverse reactions were reported: blood oxygen desaturation, heart rate elevation, numbness, tingling, dizziness, and euphoria. In at least one published study of pediatric patients aged 6 to 18 years, transient decrease in SpO2% and transient increase in heart rate was reported following hyperpolarized xenon Xe 129 administration. XENOVIEW is not approved for use in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age.
