Neuro Diagnostic Devices (NeuroDx) Names Industry Veteran Frederick Fritz as CEO and President.

PHILADELPHIA -- Neuro Diagnostic Devices (NeuroDx), a Science Center funded medical device firm, has named Frederick J. Fritz as its chief executive officer, president and director.

NeuroDx, originally founded by neurosurgeon and inventor Dr. Samuel Neff, saw large unmet needs of his patients and became passionate about developing products needed in his clinical practice. One of those products was ShuntCheck[TM] and was developed by Dr. Neff at the Science Center. The Science Center shared his vision and invested in the company to help it grow. The Science Center has continued to cultivate the companyas vision and products by investment and interim management leading to the appointment of Frederick Fritz as the new chief executive officer.

In his role as CEO, Mr. Fritz will oversee Neuro Diagnostic Devices' efforts to address diagnostic and monitoring needs related to neurosurgery. He will focus on the launch and marketing of Neuro Diagnostic Devices developed ShuntCheck - the world's first easy-to-use, non-invasive method designed to help neurosurgeons proactively evaluate shunt flow.

"Fred's track record of successful leadership, product development and brand building promises to lead Neuro Diagnostic Devices to successful commercialization of its product portfolio," said Dr. Pradip K. Banerjee, NeuroDX chair, Science Center president and chief executive officer. "This is a significant milestone for NeuroDx and the Science Center in validating its Powering Commercialization strategy of finding, forming, funding and managing new science and technology companies," comments Dr. Banerjee.

"I'm excited to be joining NeuroDx as we prepare to introduce ShuntCheck. 300,000 Americans have hydrocephalus and are dependent on shunts. Shunt malfunctions are serious but current methods for monitoring shunt function are expensive, invasive and inaccurate. ShuntCheck will provide neurosurgeons with a valuable tool to help them care for their hydrocephalus patients," comments Fred Fritz, newly appointed chief executive officer, president and director of NeuroDx.

Mr. Fritz joins Neuro Diagnostic Devices from Valeo Medical, a biotech company he founded in 2003 to develop the world's first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. In 1997, he founded Songbird Hearing, a medical device spin-off of the Sarnoff Corporation, which developed and launched the world's first disposable hearing aid.

Mr. Fritz began his career in marketing management and new product development. He joined Schering Plough's Wesley Jessen in 1985 as vice president of marketing and sales and was promoted to general manager of Schering's over-the-counter pharmaceutical business in 1988 and of the podiatric products (Dr. Scholl, Lotrimin, Tinactin) business in 1990. He served as President of Coleman North America from 1995-1997. Mr. Fritz holds a master's in business administration from Harvard Business School and is a summa cum laude, engineering graduate from the University of Illinois.
