Press Release
Xxxxxx Medical and Philips Enter Agreements for the Development of Non-Robotic
Applications of Fiber Optic Shape Sensing and Localization Technology
Xxxxxx to Receive $29 Million Upfront and up to $78 Million in Future Payments
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – February 3, 2011 – Xxxxxx Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: HNSN), a global leader in flexible robotics and the developer of robotic technology for accurate 3D control of catheter movement, today announced that it has entered, directly and through a wholly owned subsidiary, into patent and technology license, sublicense and purchase agreements with Philips to allow them to develop and commercialize the non-robotic applications of Xxxxxx Medical’s Fiber Optic Shape Sensing and Localization (FOSSL) technology.
FOSSL is a potentially disruptive visualization technology that employs a fiber optic sensor designed to allow physicians to identify both the shape and position of catheters and other tools used in minimally invasive procedures. FOSSL has the potential to enable more efficient and precise control and continuous tracking of flexible tools used in these procedures. Unlike traditional visualization methods, FOSSL is designed to provide visual information in 3D with significant reduction in the use of x-ray. FOSSL is being developed by Xxxxxx Medical and Xxxx Innovations, Inc. which are jointly advancing its use in medical applications.
Under the terms of the agreements, Philips has the exclusive right to develop and commercialize the FOSSL technology in the non-robotic vascular, endoluminal and orthopedic fields. In addition, the parties have amended their previous joint development agreement to allow for Philips to potentially extend and increase certain fees to be paid by Xxxxxx Medical based on the future sales of the currently investigational flexible catheter vascular robotic system now under development at Xxxxxx Medical with
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED |
EXECUTION COPY |
planned commercialization in the US and Europe in 2011. Xxxxxx Medical will receive upfront payments of $29 million in connection with these arrangements and will be eligible to receive up to an additional $78 million in future payments associated with the successful commercialization or licensing by Philips or its collaborators of products containing FOSSL technology.
“Today’s announcement is an important milestone in the history of Xxxxxx Medical,” said Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, President and CEO of Xxxxxx Medical. “As a result of the hard work by our talented employees, we have made tremendous strides evolving our business strategy and focusing on new market opportunities to create a proprietary mode of safe and effective imaging. We are pleased to expand our relationship with Philips, and are now in a position to further develop and commercialize this technology which has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for future medical products, including to significantly reduce the amount of harmful radiation generated in interventional procedures, all to the benefit of patients, physicians and hospital staffs. Finally, these agreements allow us to significantly enhance our cash position and strengthen our balance sheet without incurring a dilutive event for our shareholders.”
“These agreements represent a considerable step forward in the relationship between Xxxxxx Medical and Philips Healthcare in bringing innovative technology solutions to patients and physicians in multiple medical fields from orthopedics to interventional procedures. We are delighted to be moving forward with Philips on both the application of the FOSSL technology outside of robotics and on the advancement of our robotics technology for vascular procedures,” said Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, M.D. Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Xxxxxx Medical.
While minimally invasive procedures have advanced significantly in the past 30 years, their potential is still limited by imaging and localization, which remain critical elements to knowing where flexible tools are in the body. Since the incision is so much smaller than typical open surgery and direct visualization is not possible, physicians have to rely on X-ray imaging or localization to know where their instruments are and the shape of the instruments they are manipulating. Significant radiation exposure to the patient and physician is often the result, and
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED |
EXECUTION COPY |
usually provides only two dimensional information. With FOSSL enabled devices, the potential benefits to patients and the physicians that treat them are substantial, including increased efficiency, control and reduced use of radiation in minimally invasive procedures.

About Xxxxxx Medical, Inc.
Xxxxxx Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, develops products and technology using robotics for the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The company’s Sensei® system and its Sensei X Robotic Catheter System were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in electrophysiology (EP) procedures. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei and Sensei X systems for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), have not been established during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF. In the European Union, the Sensei and the Sensei X systems are cleared for use during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF. The flexible catheter vascular robotic system requires regulatory filings and approval and is not commercially available. Additional information can be found at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause Xxxxxx Medical’s results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
