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, provided a corporate update today on its progress towards achieving key corporate objectives, as well as commercial, clinical and product development milestones.

Jeremy Sobotta, Perimeter’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “I believe 2021 was a transformative year for Perimeter, and today’s update summarizes the key milestones achieved across all areas of our business. Importantly, we received 510K clearance from the FDA enabling the commercial launch of our flagship Perimeter S-Series OCT platform, and we have started to place this innovative technology in the hands of influential thought leaders at leading hospitals and healthcare institutions. In addition, we initiated a multi-center, randomized, two-arm clinical trial of our investigational Perimeter B-Series OCT imaging platform combined with ImgAssist AI, which continues to enroll patients and is expected to be completed later this year.”

Mr. Sobotta continued, “Backed by strong support from our existing shareholders, we recently closed a successful equity financing, which included Social Capital, that we anticipate will fuel our commercial efforts and enable us to leverage their expertise in technology and AI. We believe we have the capital and expertise in place to support us in our journey to deliver best-in-class advanced imaging technologies, with the aim of improving health outcomes and reducing costs. This is an incredibly exciting time for Perimeter, and we look forward to building upon the positive momentum already generated at the beginning of this year.”

About the Clinical Development of Perimeter B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI
Perimeter is advancing the development of its proprietary, next-gen “ImgAssist” artificial intelligence (AI) technology under its ATLAS AI project, which is made possible, in part, by a US$7.4 million grant awarded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). A multi-center, randomized, two-arm clinical trial is underway to measure the effectiveness of the breakthrough-device-designated Perimeter B-Series OCT + ImgAssist AI in reducing the number of unaddressed positive margins in breast lumpectomy procedures when used in addition to standard intraoperative margin assessment. Approximately 300 patients undergoing breast conservation surgery across eight U.S. clinical sites will participate in the pivotal study led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Alastair Thompson at Baylor College of Medicine, with study completion anticipated by the end of 2022.
