ProUroCare Medical Announces Completion of Study by Physician in Clinical Trial

ProUroCare Medical Inc. (OTCBB: PUMD), announced today that the physician at one of three major participating centers has completed his portion (ten patients) of the study of the ProUroScanTM prostate imaging system. The study is intended to identify images of the prostate. The results from these clinical trials will be used to support ProUroCare’s future application to the Food and Drug Administration for 510(k) clearance of the ProUroScan system.

ProUroCare’s Chief Executive Officer, Rick Carlson, stated, “We believe that the basic mapping and data maintenance claim being studied accurately reflects the current needs of the market and the capabilities of the system. The center completing the study achieved results that exceeded those presented in our last peer reviewed article in the journal Urology, March 2008. While preliminary, we believe this bodes well for the future of the ProUroScan technology. We applaud this physician and his staff for their commitment and diligent efforts in completing their portion of the clinical study.”

Overview of Clinical Study

We believe the ProUroScan system, when used for basic mapping and data maintenance will be regulated as a Class II device and cleared through a 510(k) application. Our protocol calls for a 40-patient clinical trial involving participation by four different physicians. In addition to the recently completed study, a second physician has begun his patient trials, and two more are expected to begin their studies in the near future.
