Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne, commented, “We made excellent progress this quarter across multiple fronts. Revenue growth continued regarding our sEEG product line as new customer sites were added by Zimmer Biomet. We also initiated the limited commercial launch of the OneRF™ Ablation System, an exciting accomplishment given we are the first company to receive FDA 510(k) clearance to market this novel technology in the United States. Customer interest has been strong and we believe the OneRF™ Ablation System, with combination diagnostic and therapeutic functionality, has the capability to create a paradigm shift in neurosurgical procedures. Moving forward, we will investigate other applications to leverage our ablation system. We continue to believe strongly in the market opportunity for our drug delivery system as we believe it has the potential to create a unique platform for both identifying the target area in the brain, delivering the pharmacologic agent and monitoring its performance.”
Key Upcoming Milestones
OneRF™ Ablation System:
- Transition manufacturing from sEEG diagnostic electrodes to OneRF electrodes
- Add new centers for our limited commercial launch

- Continue to explore additional applications and strategic partnership opportunities for ablation in neurology and other attractive markets that could benefit from NeuroOne’s high-resolution, thin-film electrode technology
Drug Delivery Program:
- Refine prototype design and complete biocompatibility study
- Continue to identify potential strategic partners to utilize NeuroOne’s drug delivery device in clinical studies and research
Spinal Cord Stimulation Program:
- Finalize electrode design
- Present poster on feasibility of implantation of epidural thin-film paddle leads at International Neuromodulation Society’s (INS) World Congress
