NeuroOne Receives FDA 510(k)
Clearance to Market its OneRF Ablation System
First FDA-cleared thin-film, sEEG-guided
RF system capable of both recording electrical activity and ablating nervous tissue with the added benefit of temperature control; Marks
the Company's third FDA 510(k)-cleared device
Potential for transformative improvement
in neurosurgery procedures; Company targets commercial launch in first half of 2024
PRAIRIE, Minn. - December 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 announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 510(k) clearance to market its OneRF
Ablation System for creation of radiofrequency ("RF") lesions in
nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures.
"When NeuroOne was founded, one of our
ambitious goals was to be the first to develop and commercialize thin-film electrodes capable of performing both diagnostic and therapeutic
functions and offer a better methodology to treat patients suffering from a variety of neurological conditions," said Dave Rosa,
CEO of NeuroOne. "We believe we have the potential to dramatically change the way these surgeries are performed so that patients
may only need to go through surgery once for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This may also reduce hospital stays, number of
surgeries, and adverse events, while offering significant benefits from a clinical perspective. The addition of temperature control at
the point of ablation also may enhance patient safety. Our team's achievement in reaching this milestone was the culmination of
years of perseverance, and I could not be more excited for our future. We are now preparing for a commercial launch either directly or
through a strategic partner in the first half of calendar 2024."
Robert E. Gross, MD, PhD, chair of the Department
of Neurosurgery at New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School said "The FDA clearance of NeuroOne's OneRF system
will provide neurosurgeons with an important new tool in the surgical management of epilepsy, with the ability to provide ablative therapy
using already implanted depth electrodes used for diagnosing the epileptic focus as part of stereoEEG. This may lead to improved outcomes
for patients with potential for fewer interventions, and an improved therapeutic window."
The OneRF Ablation System is the Company's
first device with a therapeutic indication and its third FDA 510(k)-cleared device. NeuroOne now boasts a full line of electrode technology
to address patients requiring diagnostic brain mapping procedures as well as RF ablation using the same sEEG electrode. In addition to
the OneRF Ablation System, NeuroOne's other FDA-cleared devices include the Evo cortical and sEEG electrode product lines which
are used primarily for recording electrical activity in the brain for less than 30 days.
NeuroOne estimates the current brain ablation
market to be at least $100M worldwide and growing rapidly, with the potential to grow multifold based on large addressable patient populations
with unmet clinical needs.
NeuroOne Medical Technologies
Corporation is a developmental stage company committed to providing minimally invasive and hi-definition solutions for EEG recording,
brain stimulation and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic
pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders that may improve patient outcomes and reduce procedural costs.
The Company may also pursue applications for other areas such as depression, mood disorders, pain, incontinence, high blood pressure,
and artificial intelligence. For more information, visit www.nmtc1.com.
