FDA Reclassifies ECP Devices for Refractory Angina as Class II

FDA Reclassifies ECP Devices for Refractory Angina as Class II

WESTBURY, N.Y., Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCBB: VASO), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices including EECP® (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) Therapy systems, the gold standard of ECP therapy, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human Services, issued its final order on December 30, 2013, reclassifying external counter-pulsating (ECP) devices for treatment of chronic stable angina for patients that are refractory to anti-anginal medical therapy and without options for revascularization from class III to class II (special controls).

Under a number of federal regulations, FDA administers a comprehensive system for the regulation of medical devices intended for human use.  The system established three categories (classes) of devices, reflecting the regulatory controls needed to provide reasonable assurance of their safety and effectiveness, namely general controls (class I), special controls (class II) and premarket approval or PMA (class III).  FDA’s reclassification of ECP devices for treatment of refractory angina, which was a preamendments class III device, into class II is based upon its conclusion that the available scientific evidence is adequate to support the safety and effectiveness of ECP devices for this specific intended use.

In addition, FDA in the final order is requiring the filing of a PMA or a notice of completion of a product development protocol (PDP) for ECP devices for other intended uses such as unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock and congestive heart failure, which were previously cleared for marketing by means of premarket notification (510(k)) procedure.  In accordance with federal regulations, ECP manufacturers may continue to commercially distribute their devices for these intended uses for a period of 90 days after the issuance of the final order.  The devices may continue to be marketed only for refractory angina if a PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP is not filed before the end of the 90-day period.

“The reclassification of ECP devices is long overdue, and we thank FDA for confirming once again the safety and efficacy of ECP treatment of refractory angina in its class II decision,” stated Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO of Vasomedical, Inc. “Until this FDA final order, ECP systems, as a class III preamendments device, had been cleared for marketing in the U.S. by the 510(k) procedure, which only requires a demonstration of substantial equivalence.  Consequently, certain manufacturers have been marketing their devices without much, if any, clinical evidence, which ultimately hurt the reputation of external counterpulsation therapy, a great technology if done right, as we have seen in numerous cases.”

“The requirement of a PMA, which requires device-specific clinical evidence, for intended uses of ECP devices other than refractory angina is a positive development for Vasomedical and for patients that receive the therapy.  We believe, since almost all of the publicly available scientific and clinical studies as published in peer reviewed medical journals and conferences were generated using Vasomedical EECP systems, there is sufficient clinical data for the Company to immediately proceed with the preparation of PMA applications or PDP filings for certain indications other than refractory angina,” Dr. Ma continued.  “With this final order by FDA and given the breadth of clinical evidence for our EECP Therapy, we appreciate the opportunity to distinguish, from a regulatory standpoint now, our EECP Therapy system from other external counterpulsation (ECP) devices.”

Vasomedical Recorded 33% Year-over-year Growth in Revenue for the Third Quarter of 2013

WESTBURY, N.Y., Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC BB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

“We are pleased to report that during the third quarter of 2013 the Company recorded significant growth in both the Equipment segment and the Sales Representation segment.  Total equipment sales were particularly impressive, with an increase of 97% compared to the same period last year, as we experienced a spike in sales of our EECP® equipment in certain international markets as well as the steady sales growth from our Biox subsidiary,” stated Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “The excellent performance and continued growth of Biox not only benefits the Company financially, it also provides us with a successful track record in China, paving the way for us to pursue additional acquisition and partnership opportunities there.”

“We continue to see strong results from our sales representation segment.  Given the overall strength of our team, we believe our independent sales channel model can be successfully expanded or replicated with other OEMs in different markets,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, revenue increased 33% to $7.6 million from $5.7 million for the same period of 2012. This is attributable to a 97% increase in our equipment sales revenue to $1.4 million, as a result of a higher EECP® sales volume and continued growth from our Biox subsidiary in China. Our Sales Representation business also had significant improvement, with commission revenue increasing 26% to $5.9 million compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter 2012.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 increased 28% to $5.2 million, compared to a gross profit of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. This increase is primarily a result of higher commission revenues in our Sales Representation segment arising from higher equipment delivery by GE Healthcare (GEHC) and an increase of equipment shipments from our Equipment segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $5.5 million or 72% of revenues, compared to $6.6 million, or 115% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A expenditures in the third quarter of 2013 resulted primarily from the completion in the second quarter of 2013 of certain non-recurring costs attributable to the renewal of the GEHC contract.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $464,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, a substantial improvement compared to the net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Net cash decreased by $2.3 million to $9.1 million at September 30, 2013 compared to net cash of $11.4 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease is principally due to the repurchase of our common shares and payment of certain accrued liabilities.   Under the Company’s share repurchase program initiated in April 2013, Vasomedical has acquired through November 8, 2013, approximately 9.3 million shares of its common stock.

EECP Therapy Receives Class lla Recommendation in European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the Management of Stable Coronary Artery Disease

WESTBURY, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCBB: VASO), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices for noninvasive cardiology including EECP® (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) Therapy systems, the gold standard of ECP therapy, announced today that its EECP Therapy has been given a lla Class of Recommendation in the 2013 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on the Management of Stable Coronary Artery Disease (SCAD). The guidelines were released during ESC’s annual meeting which took place from August 31 to September 3, 2013 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The IIa classification signifies that the weight of evidence and level of opinion are in favor of a treatment and, in this case, that physicians should consider EECP Therapy as a treatment option for patients suffering from refractory angina.

Last November, The American College of Cardiology Foundation and The American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines issued its new Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease. In this Guideline, EECP Therapy retained the same IIb Class of Recommendation rating it had received in the ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for the Management of Patients with Chronic Stable Angina.  The Company has been in active communication with the ACCF/AHA task force, as well as its guideline writing committee, requesting a review of more recent data than was referenced in the 2012 Guideline, for the purpose of upgrading EECP Therapy’s level of recommendation to lla in its future guideline.

“It is a breakthrough that EECP Therapy was included in the ESC Guidelines for the first time, and at the same time was given a level IIa recommendation, which means it ‘should be considered’ as a treatment option as opposed to ‘may be considered’ recommendation for a IIb rating,” said Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “We are pleased that the European Society of Cardiology has recognized the value and efficacy of this treatment, as has been demonstrated by many studies. On behalf of all heart patients, we thank the many physicians in the U.S. and Europe who have done great research on EECP Therapy and presented data to ESC for consideration.”

“Throughout the past decade, EECP Therapy has been offered to hundreds of thousands of patients in numerous centers and hospitals in the Unites States and abroad. During this time, we have gathered a wealth of data from many different studies, including randomized controlled trials published in peer-reviewed journals, and have received countless testimonials regarding an improvement to patients’ quality of life,” continued Dr. Ma. “We believe this treatment option should be made available to a wider patient base. Our responsibility is not only to support and improve this technology, but also to champion the patient who is not receiving this therapy and its benefits. Furthermore, we have a social obligation to support healthcare cost reduction through expanding role of EECP Therapy, which has been demonstrated in clinical literature to reduce re-hospitalizations and emergency room visits. We believe this high recommendation by ESC should help promote a broader acceptance of the EECP Therapy around the world.”

Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2013

WESTBURY, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC BB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

“We are pleased by the continued growth reported for the second quarter of 2013, mostly attributable to the increased activity in our sales representation business in the U.S. and our operations in China,” stated Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “We are encouraged by the success of our diversification and growth strategy, and look forward to seeing our efforts through to fruition in all aspects of our business.”

“Looking ahead, we will continue to implement the Company’s growth strategy by expanding the sales teams for each of our subsidiaries and looking to develop new services and product lines. These investments have already had an early impact on our results establishing a solid foundation from which to drive future growth. While it is still early in the process, we believe these investments will have a positive impact on a long-term basis.”

“As previously announced, we initiated a share repurchase program in April, which we believe provides a strong vote of confidence to the investment community. As of July 30, 2013, we had acquired approximately 8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Our board of directors recently increased the buyback program by $500,000, for a total of $2 million. This program is part of our multi-pronged strategy to build shareholder value,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, revenue increased 3% to $7.9 million from $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This is primarily attributable to an increase in commission revenue recognized from our Sales Representation business in the second quarter of 2013, as a result of an increase in volume of equipment delivered by GEHC.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was $5.4 million, compared to a gross profit of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the sales representation segment margin, offset by an increase in equipment segment margin.  The equipment segment gross margin increased to 62.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 56.7% for the same period in 2012.  The decrease in the margin in the sales representation segment is due to the lower commission rate on GEHC orders received in 2012 and delivered in 2013.  We anticipate that these margins will improve in the second half of 2013 as we expect to achieve a higher commission rate on 2013 orders.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $5.7 million compared to $5.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the second quarter of 2013 resulted primarily from increased costs associated with the expansion of the Equipment segment sales team of approximately $200,000, as well as $140,000 higher costs in the Sales Representation segment, of which $76,000 are non-recurring costs associated with the extension of our GEHC contract.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $537,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $54,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $336,000.  We continue to maintain a strong financial position with a cash balance of $11.6 million at June 30, 2013.
