EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 second quarter 2023 ended March 31, 2023.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Updates

Evo^® sEEG:

• Announced the commercial launch of the Evo sEEG electrode product line in the United States with exclusive distribution partner Zimmer Biomet. The new technology potentially provides NeuroOne with a new revenue stream.
• The first clinical case using the Evo^® sEEG electrode was performed at the Mayo Clinic using a stereotactic frame system. Another procedure using the Evo^® sEEG electrode in robotic neurosurgery was performed at a different medical facility. This procedure was the first to utilize NeuroOne’s Evo sEEG electrode with Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA One^® Brain, a robotic platform that assists surgeons in planning and performing complex yet minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures.
• Fulfilled five shipments of sEEG product to Zimmer Biomet in preparation for launch.
• Completed initial training for the sEEG product line to select Zimmer Biomet sales personnel.
• Presented the Evo sEEG system alongside Zimmer Biomet at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) annual meeting.

OneRF^™Ablation:

• Successfully completed usability testing for OneRF with 15 neurosurgeons.
• Successfully completed execution of internal device verification and validation protocols for the final OneRF Ablation System.

Spinal Cord Stimulation Program:

• Successfully completed an initial animal implant of novel thin film paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation (SCS). The devices are intended for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgery syndrome, intractable low back, and leg pain. A percutaneous (through a needle) delivery system for paddle leads is also under development and has been successfully bench-tested.

Drug Delivery Program:

• Successfully completed feasibility bench top testing of first drug delivery and recording system prototype.

Other Updates:

• Expanded IP portfolio with new U.S. patent titled "Improved Neural Depth Probes and Related Systems and Methods" focused on a layered thin film neural depth electrode. The electrode could have potential applications in a wide variety of neurological procedures for both diagnostic and therapeutic use.
• Expanded management team with the appointment of Anthony Millar as Vice-President of Operations.
• Oral presentation delivered at the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) annual meeting titled “Electrochemical Characterization of the First FDA-Cleared Thin-Film Electrodes for Recording and Stimulation of Brain Activity.”

Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne, commented, “We were excited to officially announce the commercial release of our Evo sEEG electrode and look forward to a successful launch with Zimmer Biomet. In addition, we continued to make critical progress with the OneRF ablation system design verification testing and remain on track to submit a 510(k) to FDA for OneRF in the second calendar quarter of 2023. We made meaningful progress with our spinal cord stimulation program, as well as our recording and drug delivery system. We also filled a key executive role and are excited to have Anthony Millar join our team as our VP of Operations.”

Upcoming Targeted Milestones

Evo sEEG:

• Successful market launch of Evo sEEG system.
• Expand sales training of the sEEG product line to Zimmer personnel.

OneRF:

• Complete design verification and validation testing for OneRF confirming that the full feature system meets its design specifications and is fully functional.
• Submit a 510(k) application to the FDA for OneRF ablation system in the second quarter of calendar year 2023.
• Initiate transfer of OneRF to production activities.
• Perform in vivo animal study with six neurosurgeons utilizing the complete OneRF ablation system.
• Presentation of OneRF^® Ablation System preclinical study at Neurological Disorders Summit (NDS-2023) Italy, June 2023.

SCS Program:

• Complete bench top testing of percutaneous implantation of thin film paddle electrode in spinal cord model by a physician.
• Complete first animal study to assess biocompatibility of NeuroOne’s thin film electrode in the spinal cord.

Drug Delivery Program:

• Complete testing of drug delivery and recordings in a small animal model.
