  • Initiated limited U.S. commercial launch of the Pure-Vu® EVS Gastro and Gen 4 Colon system, including successful UGI procedures at several leading hospital systems
  • The Company is engaged in the process to seek strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating commercialization of the Pure-Vu System and maximizing stockholder value

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motus GI Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: MOTS) (“Motus GI” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on improving endoscopic outcomes and experiences, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, and provided a corporate update.

“During the past year, we achieved several key milestones that we believe strengthen our position operationally and subsequently initiated a limited U.S. commercial launch of the Pure-Vu® EVS Gastro and Gen 4 Colon system. The new indication for the Upper GI space, along with several technological advancements in both devices are expected to strengthen our ability to penetrate the endoscopy market,” commented Mark Pomeranz, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the EVS Gastro system opens up significant new market opportunities for our technology, especially in the emergent setting of upper GI bleeding. We have already seen positive results in this high acuity population. Following its initial launch, we received positive feedback on these latest devices in terms of easy of setup and better handling with our Flex Channel technology that has no oversleeve in both the upper and lower GI tract. We are in the process of moving existing accounts over to these new devices, which is expected to be completed by end of the first quarter of 2024 and will move on to targeting new accounts in the second quarter.”

“Over the last six months, we have been able to improve our balance sheet by reducing our debt, eliminating a historical royalty commitment and receiving an infusion of capital. We believe our ability to achieve all these milestones over the past year has created significant value in our business and put us in a strong position to seek strategic partnerships,” concluded Mr. Pomeranz.

Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

  • Initiated over the last quarter, a limited U.S. commercial launch of the Pure-Vu® EVS Gastro and Gen 4 Colon system. This initial phase of the rollout is targeting existing customers, which is currently on track to be completed by end of the first quarter of 2024. The new device, which features a sleeveless Flex-Channel design, has been well received by early-adopters, who have commented on the system’s improved handling and easy setup. The Company also received positive feedback from customers using the EVS Gastro with patients presenting with a UGI bleed. Also, the system has been used successfully removed stomach contents to support therapeutic upper GI treatments that typically would have otherwise been canceled due to poor visualization.
  • The Company announced positive data from an international, multicenter colonoscopy study that evaluated if an adequate level of bowel cleansing could be achieved with the Pure-Vu System in patients with previous poor bowel preparation (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS)<6). Results from the study met the primary endpoint, showing a median BBPS increase from 1-2-2 (IQR 1–2) to 3-3-3 (IQR) (p < 0.0001), with 31.8% and 88.6% of patients adequately prepared before and after using the Pure-Vu System, respectively (p < 0.0001). The study also met its key secondary endpoints and no serious adverse events occurred. These data were published in a manuscript titled, “An intraprocedural bowel cleansing system for difficult-to-prepare patients—A multicenter prospective feasibility study,” in the peer-reviewed journal, United European Gastroenterology (UGE).
  • In February 2024, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued the Company a new patent (patent # 11904085) titled, “Colon Cleaning System with Automatic Self-Purging Feature.” The new patent covers systems and methods for cleaning a colon or other portion of the GI tract include optional use of sensors to detect conditions of blockage of flow of materials within an evacuation channel used to remove debris from the body; and devices and methods for purging such blockages from the evacuation channel. This latest patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 16/389,955 filed on April 21, 2019.
  • The Company continues its process to seek strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating commercialization of the Pure-Vu System and maximizing stockholder value.
