Polarean Imaging plc Announces FDA-Cleared XENOVIEW 3T Chest Coil Passes Philips Compatible Testing Polarean Imaging plc announced that its FDA-cleared XENOVIEW 3T Chest Coil has successfully completed compatibility testing conducted by Philips (Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V.) and is now confirmed for use with Philips' latest 3T MRI platforms. Following extensive validation by Philips, the XENOVIEW 3T Chest Coil is now confirmed for integration with Philips MRI systems starting in early 2026, including 3.0T platforms such as the MR 7700 and Ingenia Elition X, along with their associated upgrade pathways. Building on Philips' introduction of Xenon MRI compatibility in 2022 with the MR 7700, the addition of the Polarean XENOVIEW 3 T Chest Coil expands access to advanced pulmonary imaging and supports a new era of functional lung assessment. This confirmation, building on the coil's FDA clearance in 2024, positions the technology for rapid clinical adoption and revenue generation. The XENOVIEW 3t Chest Coil enables healthcare providers to seamlessly adopt advanced functional lung ventilation imaging, supporting broader clinical adoption and advancing the Company's commitment to innovation in pulmonary imaging. This milestone marks a major advance in scaling Polarean's Xenon MRI technology across a major global installed base and enables clinical and research sites using Philips MRI systems to incorporate non-invasive, quantitative assessments of lung function as part of routine care and research. Following this, Polarean is well positioned to accelerate adoption, expand market penetration and enhance significant commercial and clinical value worldwide. The compatibility with Philips' MRI platforms greatly broadens the accessibility of Xenon MRI and will help more hospitals and imaging centres adopt this powerful technology. Equally significant, FDA-cleared coil's seamless integration with Philips systems positions to drive adoption by reducing workflow complexity for clinicians, accelerating market penetration and unlocking growth opportunities. The compatibility statement confirms that the FDA-cleared XENovIEW 3T Chest Coil can be used with Philips MR 7700, Ingenia Elition X., and compatible software upgrade configurations from 2026 onwards. This development significantly expands the potential reach of Polarean's technology and supports its goal of making functional lung MRI more widely available to clinicians and patients worldwide.

Polarean Imaging plc Announces Submission of New Phase III Study Protocol to FDA for Expanded Indication of XENOVIEW Polarean Imaging plc announced the submission of a new Phase III clinical trial protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support an expanded indication for XENOVIEW (xenon Xe 129 hyperpolarised). XENOVIEW is the Company's FDA-approved contrast agent for MRI of the lungs. The proposed expansion would include quantitative gas-exchange imaging in addition to the currently approved ventilation imaging indication. As part of the submission, Polarean has formally requested written feedback from the FDA under a Type C meeting to guide development and alignment on the Phase III study design. The FDA review of the proposed clinical trial should be completed by fourth quarter 2025. The new protocol aims to evaluate the safety and diagnostic performance of XENOVIEW in assessing how effectively the lungs can transfer gas from the air into the bloodstream (pulmonary function), as compared to the standard of care test which is currently used. There is a substantial need to quantify and visualise gas-exchange abnormalities across a range of chronic obstructive, interstitial and pulmonary-vascular diseases. If approved, the expanded indication would significantly broaden the clinical utility of XENOVIEW by enabling clinicians to obtain a more comprehensive picture of lung function through non-invasive imaging.

Polarean Imaging plc Announces First Clinical Scan Using XENOVIEW Conducted At Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Polarean Imaging plc announced that the first clinical scan utilising its XENOVIEW (xenon Xe 129 hyperpolarized) technology in the United States has taken place at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. XENOVIEW is the only hyperpolarised contrast agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of lung ventilation in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. The first patient to receive a clinical scan using XENOVIEW is a 19-year-old male with cystic fibrosis. Cincinnati Children’s has several other patients it believes are medically indicated for the lung imaging XENOVIEW provides and anticipates performing scans to monitor patients on a more regular basis. XENOVIEW expands the opportunity to visualise lung ventilation without exposing patients to ionising radiation and its associated risks. The dose of XENOVIEW, created through the Polarean HPX Hyperpolarisation System, is administered in a single 10 to 15 second breath hold MRI procedure. More than 37 million Americans suffer from chronic lung disease, and there is a significant unmet need for non-invasive diagnostic technology. XENOVIEW can provide pulmonologists, surgeons, and other respiratory specialists with regional maps of ventilation in their patients’ lungs to assist them in managing their disease.
