TORONTO & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSX-V:PINK)(OTC:PYNKF) (FSE:4PC) (“Perimeter” or the “Company”) – a medical technology company driven to transform cancer surgery with ultra-high-resolution, real-time, advanced imaging tools to address high unmet medical needs – today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

Key Highlights

  • The Company broadens the range of projected commercial installations to 10-20 units for the full year, reflecting increased volatility as the size of our average opportunity grows.
  • The first commercial S-Series OCT installation in the state of California is completed.
  • Company strengthens its leadership team with new additions to its Board of Directors and management.

Jeremy Sobotta, Perimeter’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “With several important milestones reached this quarter, momentum is building across all areas of our business. We remain highly confident about the market reception of our technology, including a pipeline where the average deal size is growing and exceeding our expectations. However, this creates a lengthened sales cycle as we navigate the broader procurement processes, and as such, we have expanded the range for our anticipated commercial installations due to that uncertainty.”

Mr. Sobotta continued, “In addition, patient recruitment continues in our multi-center pivotal clinical trial, which is evaluating our ‘next-gen’ ImgAssist AI technology as part of our B-Series OCT system. We have now activated seven of the eight sites and are pleased with the progress made despite the staffing shortages our clinical partners are experiencing. We are grateful to work with such engaged investigators who partner with us in overcoming these challenges because of the value they see in the technology.”

Mr. Sobotta added, “We also continue to attract top talent to Perimeter and are pleased to add the expertise of Anantha Kancherla and Chris Scott to our board of directors and senior leadership team, respectively. With a strong balance sheet and our driven team, Perimeter is well positioned to execute on our goal of transforming cancer surgery by advancing the standard of care, improving patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs with the use of our innovative technologies.”

Quarterly Updates

  • On August 3, 2022, Perimeter announced its first commercial placement of an S-Series OCT device in the state of California at Pavilion Surgery Center, an affiliate of St. Joseph Hospital. The device will be used under the direction of Michele Carpenter, MD, a breast surgeon who performs breast conservation and other surgeries at Pavilion Surgery Center and marks the first commercial use of the technology in a standalone, ambulatory setting.
  • Patient recruitment continues into a multi-center, randomized two-arm pivotal clinical trial evaluating Perimeter B-Series OCT combined with proprietary ImgAssist AI software. Led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Alastair Thompson at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, seven of the eight clinical sites have now been activated.
  • In late June 2022, Perimeter announced the appointment of Anantha Kancherla to the Board of Directors. Mr. Kancherla has significant experience in the field of artificial intelligence, including in his current role as Engineering Director at Meta, where he leads its AI platform.
  • In early June 2022, Perimeter announced the appointment of Chris Scott as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Scott brings extensive experience in finance and accounting, as well as operations at a public company within the MedTech sector.
