EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Feb. 14, 2023 /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 fiscal first quarter 2023 ended December 31, 2022.

Fiscal First Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Updates

• Received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the Evo® sEEG Electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 day) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, enabling NeuroOne to fully address the approximately $100M diagnostic electrode market.
• A feasibility animal study of the Company's OneRF® therapeutic radiofrequency ablation electrode system was completed under the guidance of Dr. Jamie Van Gompel at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. OneRF is an sEEG probe-guided RF based system to monitor and adjust settings based on temperature throughout an ablation, a feature designed to improve the safety of the procedure.
• The first commercial order of Evo^® sEEG electrodes for temporary use (less than 30 days) was shipped to the Company's distribution and development partner Zimmer Biomet. NeuroOne continues to build up inventory to meet product forecasts and fulfill additional orders in-house.
• The Company developed and successfully bench tested an early prototype of a first-of-a-kind device that can deliver drugs (or other diagnostic or therapeutic agents) to the brain while also having the capability to stimulate and record before and after application.
• Held discussions with strategic organizations regarding the Company's technology in an effort to potentially expand the product footprint in neurology.
• Exhibited the Evo electrode product family with Zimmer Biomet at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting and the American Epilepsy Society and Congress of Neurological Surgeons annual meetings.
• The Company's scientific posters were presented at the following meetings:  
  • Congress of Neurosurgical Surgeons: Title: A Novel Polyimide Stereo-electroencephalographic (sEEG) Electrode: Safety and Performance Testing
  • Society of Neuroscience Meeting: Title: A Novel Polyimide-Based Electroencephalographic Depth Electrode Array: Safety and Performance Testing
  • American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting: Title: Novel Polyimide Stereoelectroencephalographic Depth Electrodes: Safety and Performance Testing
• CEO Dave Rosa featured on Fox Business Network's 'Mornings with Maria.'
• Rang Nasdaq Stock Market closing bell to commemorate the FDA clearance milestone for Evo sEEG Electrode technology.

Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne, commented, "We were thrilled to receive FDA clearance of our Evo sEEG electrode, which was the culmination of years of hard work and determination. This represents the beginning of our commercialization strategy with Zimmer Biomet. Just as critical, we are well positioned to submit our OneRF Ablation System to the FDA for 510(k) clearance, marking a key milestone for the Company as we enter the therapeutic space. We continue to explore additional exciting markets as we seek to improve upon existing technology with the goal of making current procedures safer and more cost effective, with potential improved efficacy for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and chronic pain. We also continue to explore potential strategic partnerships to expand our presence beyond our current areas of focus."

Upcoming Targeted Milestones

• Commercial launch of Evo sEEG electrodes with Zimmer Biomet in the first quarter of calendar year 2023.
• Along with Zimmer Biomet, present the newly launched Evo sEEG system at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) annual meeting at the end of April 2023.
• Submit a 510(k) application to the FDA for OneRF in the second quarter of calendar year 2023.
• Complete design verification testing for OneRF confirming that the full feature system meets its design specifications and is fully functional.
• Complete next in vivo animal testing of the OneRF system with multiple surgeons with the objective of gathering additional in vivo data on the system's performance.
• Pre-clinical implantation for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) electrodes intended for permanent implant to treat chronic pain.
