Angeion's Medical Graphics Business Offers Additional Choice of

Diffusion Technology

SAINT PAUL, Minn., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Graphics

Corporation, a subsidiary of Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN), now

offers hospitals, healthcare clinics and private practices assessing

pulmonary function, Real Time Diffusion (RTDT) based on MultiGas

Technology, delivering rapid measurement, clinically significant

graphic data and immediate results. Known globally for Reference

Standard Gas Chromatography, the MedGraphics@ brand now provides

choice of diffusion technology: both meet or exceed International

guidelines and are verifiable by Hans Rudolph DLco Simulator -

recognized as the Laboratory Quality Control for single-breath

diffusion systems.

"We are delighted to provide our worldwide customers choice between

two superb technologies for single breath assessments further

expanding our cardiorespiratory diagnostic services," said Gregg O.

Lehman, Ph.D., Angeion's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With

our proprietary technology platform and real-time sensor quality

assurance, RTD MultiGas Technology provides accurate, immediate

results, eliminating the need of repeating tests. We believe that the

addition of RTD to our product family will provide access to markets

which MedGraphics@ may have been previously excluded."

For both new and existing customers, RTD MultiGas Technology provides

cost savings in time, consumables and increased quality, allowing

customers to test more patients, with less costs and higher

confidence. RTD MultiGas Technology is available as a diffusion option

for MedGraphics UltimaT PF System and award-winning Platinum Elite

Series Body Plethysmograph (body box).

MedGraphics systems provide essential clinical information to

healthcare professionals through non-invasive cardiopulmonary

assessment to improve care of patients in leading hospitals, clinics,

and physician offices throughout the U.S. and in more than 75

countries.

-- Pulmonary function from simple spirometry tests (breath flow and

volume) to plethysmography for advanced diagnostic assessments;

-- Exercise assessment in rehabilitation and therapeutic monitoring

centers for evaluating respiratory and cardiac capacity to perform

connectivity solutions for electronic medical record systems to

improve workflow and enhance data access.
