Clarification and Apology to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Regarding March 16 Press Release by Itamar Medical

CAESAREA, Israel, March 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Itamar Medical Ltd. (TASE: ITMR) wishes to clarify its recent press release, "An Important Recognition in the US Market for the WatchPAT™ Device" from March 16th.

Certain language in the press release mistakenly implies that the new AASM clinical practice guideline formally endorses Itamar Medical's WatchPAT™ product. In fact, the new AASM guideline was solely referring to the Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) technology as technically adequate based on evidence, and not to a specific product or device manufacturer.

Itamar Medical wishes to publicly and sincerely apologize for any potential misunderstanding and inconvenience this caused to the AASM, its members or their patients.
