Ra Medical Systems Announces Milestone Achievement for Electrophysiology Division

Catheter Precision's VIVO System Has Been Utilized in over 1,000 Procedures

FORT MILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2023 / Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE American:RMED) announced today that VIVO, the lead product for the electrophysiology division, has been used in more than 1000 ventricular ablation procedures. VIVO, which stands for View Into Ventricular Onset, enables physicians to learn more about patient specific anatomy and better help them plan the ablation procedure. As a result, VIVO aids in reducing overall procedure time benefitting physicians, hospitals and patients.

"I made a conscious decision to support a pre-commercial roll out with my own capital. I've invested well over $25mm at an average price of $3.20 in an effort to de-risk this opportunity. The one thousand procedure milestone is a major accomplishment for us as well as a confirmation of the need for VIVO in the EP Lab workflow," said David Jenkins, Interim CEO of Ra Medical Systems.

This past week cases were completed at Wellspan Hospital (York, Pennsylvania), Deborah Heart and Lung (Ridgewood, NJ), Penn Presbyterian (Philadelphia, PA), Overland Park Regional Medical Center (Overland Park, KS), Sutter Health (Sacramento, CA) and Heart Hospital of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM) displaying a broad range of locations and stages of clinical adoption from first cases in an evaluation, first cases after recent purchase and long-time users over several years.
