" We have spent the past week in Germany, meeting with AMRIS and MRC, a subsidiary AMRIS is acquiring, which conducts consulting and testing, and with Michael Friebe, Ph.D., AMRIS founder and President, Andreas Melzer, M.D., AMRIS' Scientific Director and Chief Technology Officer, Gregor Schaefers, Managing Director of MRC, and with their customers and ours, planning the integration of Biophan-Europe. Things are going well and we will close the paperwork for the three company integration within the next few weeks. We extended the letter of understanding to allow us to comply with all related U.S. and German laws," stated Michael Weiner, CEO of Biophan and Michael Friebe, CEO of AMRIS, in a joint statement made in Castrop-Rauxel at the headquarters of AMRIS, which is being renamed Biophan-Europe.
" While in Germany we met with many customers and prospects of Biophan and AMRIS to explore integration issues, including meetings with Boston Scientific personnel to explore how AMRIS will assist Biophan in the support of Boston Scientific. Boston Scientific has a joint development agreement with Biophan across several Boston Scientific divisions, and also has an existing relationship with AMRIS and MRC," stated Michael Weiner.
AMRIS technologies and facilities allow for a significant expansion of Biophan's capabilities, including access to dozens of MRI devices and components through the AMRIS facilities and those of its affiliate, Tomovation, also headed by Dr. Friebe. Tomovation companies distribute, install, and refurbish MRI devices for all the major MRI companies, and this significantly expands the availability of devices for testing, including access to its unique animal testing facilities which can do MRI imaging of very large animals including horses, sheep and large farm swine. Under the terms of the expanding relationship, these facilities will also be made available to Biophan-Europe. Tomovation has ongoing working relationships with Siemens, Philips, and G.E.
" Successful development of MRI-safe and image-compatible medical devices requires extensive testing across a variety of MRI devices, with varying coil types, magnet sizes, and RF capabilities during both the early stage design phase and the later stage clinical trial phases. As the expansion of MRI-safe and image-compatible medical devices continues and expands, both Biophan and its customers, as well as companies pursuing development of their own MRI-safe and image-compatible devices, need access to equipment and expertise covering the full range of MRI devices installed in the field all around the world. AMRIS is quite unique in this regard, and significantly expands and complements the capabilities already provided by Biophan's relationships," Weiner explained.

Biophan Issued Two New U.S. Patents Enabling Advances in MRI Compatibility and Safety for Medical Devices
ROCHESTER, N.Y.Biophan Technologies, Inc.Carolyn Hotchkiss, 585-214-2407orPress Interviews:Jennifer Gould, 212-843-8037
Additional Patents Strengthen Company's Intellectual Property Protection in Nanotechnology and Photonics
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: BIPH), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, has announced the issuance of two new patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that further extend the Company's competitive edge in the marketplace for the rapidly emerging field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) safety and image compatibility for surgical instruments and implanted devices.
The new patents, involving nanomagnetic coatings and advanced fiber-optics, adds important capability to Biophan's overall offerings of proprietary solutions that make medical devices safe and image compatible within the MRI environment. They further substantiate Biophan's competitive edge and leadership position within the marketplace for improving more than $12 billion of medical devices that do not have MRI safety and image compatibility.
"These patent issuances continue Biophan's growth and business strategy to develop a base of protected intellectual property in key medical areas," said Michael Weiner, CEO of Biophan. "As we extend our patents and claims covering important medical innovations--such as the ability to make MRI-image-compatible and MRI-safe devices--we strengthen the certainty that manufacturers of medical equipment will license our technology and avoid the risk of infringement and litigation. The broad coverage that Biophan has been diligent in obtaining also makes it attractive to our customers to consider an exclusive license for certain fields of strategic interest to them, because they realize that our broad patent position will allow them to defend their exclusive position in market segments important to them."
One of the new patents covers new methods to produce a variety of nanomagnetic coatings to shield medical equipment within an MRI environment. It includes a broad claim regarding how these coatings can be used in a variety of applications, including the reduction of heating in medical devices under MRI; to selectively generate heat for cancer treatments or to control drug release; to reduce image artifacts under MRI; or to enable unimpeded MRI visualization of devices that have been traditionally difficult to see effectively under MRI.
The other newly issued patent extends the Company's protection for next-generation MRI-safe techniques utilizing fiber-optics to power biomedical sensors and therapeutic devices.
Fiber-optic cables are thin and flexible enough to fit into blood vessels and capillaries, and can carry extraordinarily large amounts of data. However, powering a remote biosensor at the end of the fiber optic cable has traditionally been a problem. The new Biophan patent teaches how a variety of sensors, probes, and medical therapies can be remotely powered and can communicate over a fiber-optic cable by powering the remote probe with short pulses of light. The light energy is converted to electrical energy to power the probes and to send data back to a device where they can be analyzed. This technology can be applied to devices used outside the body or part of an implantable device. The patent is one of more than twenty Biophan patents, issued or pending, that teach the use of photonics and fiber-optics in biosensing and disease treatment.
We are very pleased to be receiving broad patents for photonic applications that we believe can serve an important role in the future of medical devices, both interventional and implanted. We believe that a range of future implantable and surgical medical devices will use photonic solutions, and we are pleased to have a large and growing patent portfolio covering this emerging capability.
In related news, Biophan announced that it had closed a term sheet with a major biomedical device company, but due to confidentiality agreements governing the transaction, will not be announcing details until the transaction closes. "We are very pleased with the transaction and its forward progress," said Mr. Weiner. "The agreement will be more than adequate to provide the capital needed to enable our listing on a major stock exchange. We are in the process of preparing our listing application."

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-24. Feb. 2005-- Neue Patente verstärken die Absicherung des geistigen Eigentums des Unternehmens in der Nanotechnologie und Photonik
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: BIPH), ein Innovationsunternehmen, das biomedizinische Technologie der nächsten Generation entwickelt, meldet die Erteilung zwei neuer Patente durch das US-Patent- und Markenamt. Damit wird die Wettbewerbsposition des Unternehmens auf dem umkämpften Markt für Technologien zur Verstärkung der Sicherheit und Bildkompatibilität chirurgischer Instrumente und implantierter Vorrichtungen in der Kernspintomographie (MRI) weiter gestärkt.
Die neuen Patente betreffen nanomagnetische Beschichtungen und moderne Glasfaseroptik und sind eine wichtige Ergänzung des Gesamtangebots proprietärer Lösungen von Biophan, mit denen sich medizinische Vorrichtungen in Zukunft sicher und bildkompatibel innerhalb einer MRI-Umgebung anwenden lassen werden. Sie stärken außerdem die günstige Wettbewerbs- und Führungsposition von Biophan auf dem Markt für Technologien zur Verbesserung von medizinischen Vorrichtungen im Wert von umgerechnet 12 Milliarden USD, die derzeit für eine Verwendung in der Kernspintechnologie nicht sicher genug sind und Bildstörungen auslösen.
" Die Erteilung dieser Patente ist eine Fortsetzung der Wachstums- und Geschäftsstrategie von Biophan zur Entwicklung einer Basis an geschütztem, geistigem Eigentum in medizinischen Kernbereichen" , so Michael Weiner, CEO von Biophan. " Durch die Erweiterung unserer Patente und Ansprüche in Bezug auf wichtige medizinische Innovationen - beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, MRI-bildkompatible und -sichere Geräte herstellen zu können - stellen wir sicher, dass die Medizintechnikhersteller unsere Technologie lizenzieren und vermeiden die Risiken von Fälschungen und Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Der breit gefächerte Patentschutz, den wir anstreben, macht es auch für unsere Kunden attraktiv, eine Exklusivlizenz für bestimmte Gebiete, die für sie von strategischem Interesse sind, in Erwägung zu ziehen: sie erkennen nämlich, dass unser außerordentlich umfassender Patentschutz ihnen ermöglicht, ihre exklusive Position in den für sie wichtigen Marktsegmenten zu verteidigen."
Eines der neuen Patente betrifft neue Verfahren zur Herstellung verschiedener Nanomagnetbeschichtungen, um medizinische Geräte innerhalb einer MRI-Umgebung abzuschirmen. Die Ansprüche sind sehr weit gefasst und betreffen die Verwendung dieser Beschichtungen in unterschiedlichen Applikationen, beispielsweise zur Verringerung der Wärmeentwicklung in medizinischen Vorrichtungen während der Kernspintomographie, zur selektiven Erzeugung von Wärme zur Behandlung von Krebs oder zur Steuerung der Medikamentenfreisetzung, zur Verringerung von Bildartefakten in der Kernspintomographie oder für unbeeinträchtigte Visualisierung von Vorrichtungen in der Kernspintomographie, deren Darstellung bislang erschwert war.
Das andere, neu erteilte Patent erweitert den Schutz der Techniken des Unternehmens für mehr Sicherheit in der Kernspintomographie, indem Glasfaseroptik zum Antrieb von biomedizinischen Sensoren und Therapiegeräten eingesetzt wird.
Glasfaserkabel sind so dünn und flexibel, dass sie in Blutgefäße und Kapillaren eingeführt werden und außerordentlich große Datenmengen übertragen können. Allerdings stellte die Stromversorgung eines Biosensors am entfernten Ende des Glasfaserkabels bislang ein Problem dar. Das neue Patent von Biophan beschreibt Lösungen, mit denen verschiedene Sensoren, Sonden und medizinische Therapievorrichtungen durch Fernantrieb betrieben und zum Datenaustausch genutzt werden können, indem kurze Lichtimpulse an solche Sonden gesendet werden. Die Lichtenergie wird in elektrische Energie umgewandelt, mit der Sonden betrieben werden und mit der Daten zurück an ein Gerät gesendet werden, wo sie ausgewertet werden. Diese Technologie kann auf Geräte außerhalb des Körpers oder auf Teile einer implantierbaren Vorrichtung angewandt werden. Das Patent ist eines von über zwanzig Patenten Biophans, die entweder erteilt oder angemeldet sind und die Verwendung von Photonik und Glasfaseroptik bei Biosensoren und zur Behandlung von Krankheiten betreffen.
Das Unternehmen geht davon aus, dass seine weit gefassten Patente für Photonik-Anwendungen in Zukunft in der interventionellen und implantierten Medizintechnik eine wichtige Rolle spielen werden. Photonik wird in Zukunft voraussichtlich in sehr vielen implantierbaren und chirurgischen medizinischen Vorrichtungen zur Anwendung kommen und Biophan verfügt über ein großes und wachsendes Patentportfolio, das diese neuen Möglichkeiten abdeckt.
Biophan gab in einer weiteren Pressemeldung bekannt, dass es einen Vorvertrag (Term Sheet) mit einem großen Biomedizintechnikunternehmen abgeschlossen hat. Aus Gründen der Vertraulichkeit der Transaktionsbedingungen werden Einzelheiten jedoch erst nach Abschluss der Verhandlungen bekannt gegeben. " Wir sind mit dem Verlauf der Transaktion sehr zufrieden" , so Weiner. " Durch den Vertrag erhalten wir das Kapital für unseren geplanten Börsengang, dessen Antrag wir derzeit vorbereiten."

Transaction Enriches Biophan's Intellectual Property Portfolio,
Establishes Expanded European Market Presence
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb 25, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:BIPH), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, today announced completion of the acquisition of a majority interest in AMRIS GmbH, bringing Biophan exclusive access to key patents in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology and a world renowned scientific staff. AMRIS, a leading innovator in MRI-safe and image-compatible medical devices and technology solutions, possesses a suite of technology patents that enable effective MRI imaging of a range of important medical devices, including stents and other vascular implants.
The newly-acquired AMRIS will be renamed Biophan-Europe, and will serve as Biophan's chief European marketing and research presence. AMRIS subsidiary, MRC Corporation, was included in the acquisition. The principals and personnel from AMRIS and its MRC subsidiary bring existing contractual and consulting agreements with many of the world's leading biomedical device and MRI machine manufacturers. As a result, the acquisition significantly expands Biophan's international technology and business relationships in the European medical device industry and the worldwide scientific community.
" This is a significant acquisition on many fronts for Biophan," said Michael Weiner, CEO of Biophan. " It brings us a strong combination of both world renowned scientific and medical personnel, and critical technology and patents that will enhance the adaptation of our MRI-related solutions. Additionally, the increased access to MRI testing capabilities will support our growing base of customers wishing to adapt their devices for MRI safety and MRI visualization, while providing new revenue sources to Biophan."
The acquisition enriches Biophan's intellectual property portfolio with exclusive licenses to fifteen issued and pending U.S. and International patents covering imaging of medical devices such as stents, vena cava filters, and other vascular implants.
One of the main benefits this transaction brings Biophan is the newly established relationship with Dr. Michael Friebe, and partner Dr. Andreas Melzer, M.D., Research Physician, Surgeon, and Chief Research Officer of AMRIS. Dr. Friebe is an internationally respected scientist and entrepreneur who has specialized in MRI-related physics and companies. Dr. Melzer is a professor of applied biomedical engineering, and a prolific innovator in the field, who has co-invented more than 30 patents and has authored over 150 publications.
" We are extremely excited that we have found a partner who is equally committed to the MRI technology and who provides complementary technologies, products, and markets," commented Dr. Friebe.
Dr. Friebe will lead Biophan-Europe, and will join Biophan's board of directors. Dr. Melzer will join the Biophan Scientific Advisory Board, and will lead many of Biophan's research and development projects.
Included in the transaction's technology portfolio are patents for covering a stent with a fine wire mesh, a proprietary process that can make stents of certain metals, such as Nitinol, visible under MRI. Today's stents have problems imaging within the stent structure, where potential restenosis (blockage), can occur. This transaction gives Biophan control of the three preferred solutions to stent visibility: 1) AMRIS' resonant circuit technology; 2) Biophan's thin-film nanomagnetic particle coating solution; and 3) Biophan's anti-antenna solution. Each of these three solutions is covered by issued U.S. patents and pending international patents. Biophan now controls multiple patents for solutions that make vena cava filters and other vascular implants imageable under MRI.
" Our solutions allow the non-invasive, MRI-based, imaging of these devices which today can only be accomplished through more complicated invasive procedures," said Mr. Weiner. " We believe these approaches will become an important part of the rapidly growing worldwide market for stents and vascular implants. Biophan's strategy, strengthened by the acquisition of AMRIS, is to offer our customers the broadest possible set of alternative solutions to making devices safe and visible. Our business is both to improve medical devices to benefit patients, and to provide our customers with competitive advantages," said Mr. Weiner.
