Press Release

LifeWatch receives FDA 510(k) clearance for its Vital Signs Patch (VSP)

Neuhausen am Rheinfall/Switzerland, December 22, 2014 - LifeWatch AG (SIX
Swiss Exchange: LIFE), a leading provider of medical solutions in remote
cardiac monitoring, announces that it has received 510(k) clearance from
the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for its Vital Signs Patch
(VSP). The VSP is an easy-to-use sensor worn on a patient's upper chest. It
is intended to be used on adult patients in a clinical environment for the
continuous, non-invasive monitoring of ECG, Heart Rate, respiration rate,
surface temperature, and arterial blood oxygen saturation (intended use
group adults 21 and above), when prescribed by a physician or other
qualified healthcare professional. LifeWatch expects to launch the VSP in
Q3/2015.

Once the VSP is activated and connected with the supporting system, it
provides automation and alerts of key vital signs via continuous wireless
monitoring. Therefore, the 510(k) clearance is also a major step towards
clearance for the full VSP system that is expected in 2015.
