Perimeter Medical Imaging AI Provides Corporate Update on Grant Funding Opportunities and Announces Conference Call/Webcast to Discuss Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2023 Financial Results
DALLAS and TORONTO, March 20, 2024 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) ("Perimeter" or the "Company") – a commercial-stage medical technology company – announced upcoming events and provided a corporate update on grant funding opportunities to support its next-generation AI technology development.
Adrian Mendes, Perimeter's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "As we continue to ramp the number of surgeons using our technology, we are excited to showcase our flagship Perimeter S-Series OCT technology at an international conference hosted by the Society of Surgical Oncology. This is an important opportunity to connect with key customers and educate the broader surgical community about the benefits of using Perimeter's innovative technology to assist with visualizing margins real-time in their ORs."
Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) International Conference on Surgical Cancer Care - #SSO2024
Dates: March 20-23, 2024
Location: Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA
Mr. Mendes continued, "Turning to the product development side of the business, although we were shortlisted to the final stages, we did not receive funding from this tranche of the federal PSI grant program sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). Although disappointing, it's important to note that these funds were proposed for future tissue type investigations and related product development. All of our current clinical and product development plans remain on track and within our current financial modeling, including a planned interim read-out from our ongoing clinical trial evaluating the use of proprietary AI combined with our OCT technology during breast conservation surgery. We continue to explore other relevant grant funding opportunities and were pleased to receive a term extension of our existing CPRIT grant, ensuring continued access to this funding beyond the interim read-out clinical milestone. We look forward to providing a more detailed corporate update when we announce our year-end 2023 results next week."
