PRAIRIE, Minn., May 12, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:
NMTC) ("NeuroOne" or the "Company"), a medical technology company
focused on improving surgical care options and outcomes for
patients suffering from neurological disorders, today announces its
operating results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended
March 31, 2022.
Second Quarter and Recent Business
Updates
- Evo® sEEG electrode first commercial order is in inventory and
ready to ship pending FDA clearance for less than 30 day duration
of use. The Evo sEEG electrode was already 510(k) cleared for
temporary (less than 24 hours) use.
- Filed appeal with the FDA regarding their decision related to
the Company's request for clearance for less than 30 day use of
NeuroOne's Evo® sEEG Electrode. Appeal meeting between NeuroOne and
the FDA was held on April
14th, 2022.
- Participated in Zimmer Biomet's physician advisory board
meeting with prominent neurosurgeons to perform usability testing
of Evo sEEG implant accessories.
- Initiated the process to qualify a second source to manufacture
electrodes for Evo® Cortical and sEEG product lines to increase
manufacturing capacity and reduce supply risk for both product
lines.
- Initiated cost reduction program for cable assembly.
- Exhibited our Evo Cortical electrode product family at the
University of Minnesota Neuromodulation
Symposium and presented at the Gordon Research Conference 2022
Neuroelectronic Interfaces Meeting.
- Announced positive five-year bench top results in stimulation
testing of electrodes designed for use in spinal cord stimulation
for patients suffering with chronic back pain.
- Completed prototypes for RF ablation system as well as planning
phase with our hardware partner RBC Medical Systems which remains
on schedule to submit to FDA in the first quarter of calendar year
2023 for commercial clearance.
- Appointed Maria Vomero, PhD., a
prominent scientist and expert in thin film electrode technology to
drive the Company's spinal cord stimulation program, further
strengthening the development team.
- NeuroOne featured on "The Claman Countdown," an American
financial program airing on the Fox Business Network.
- Presented at the 34th Annual Roth Capital Partners
Conference and the Oppenheimer 32nd Annual Virtual
Healthcare Conference.
Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne
commented, "In September 2021,
NeuroOne received FDA 510(k) clearance for our Evo sEEG product
line for less than 24 hour use. Although the FDA did not
provide clearance for longer term use for our sEEG product line,
the Company remains confident that the product met ISO 10993
"Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 12 and Part
18" requirements for biocompatibility which was the basis
of the Company appealing the FDA decision. We appreciated the FDA's
willingness to hear our appeal which occurred on April 14th, 2022. We continue to
remain ready to fulfill our initial stocking order to Zimmer Biomet
upon an FDA clearance for less than 30 day use. Additionally,
the development of our RF ablation electrode and hardware remains
on schedule as we expect to complete system prototypes by the end
of the third calendar quarter of 2022. We are still targeting
submitting for 510(k) clearance for RF ablation in early calendar
year 2023. Cost reduction programs are underway for our cable
assembly line, next generation connector and validation of a new
electrode supplier in order to ensure the ability to meet supply
requirements to Zimmer Biomet. Our team remains enthusiastic and
determined as we make progress across a number of key commercial
and product development objectives for 2022."
