MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA , a developer of new generation robotic technology for accurate and stable control of catheter movement in 3D during cardiac procedures, today reported its business highlights and financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Recent Business Highlights

--  System Sales: The company recognized revenue on eight Sensei? Robotic
    Catheter Systems sold during the first quarter, which brings the total
    worldwide system placements to 23, including 14 in the United States and
    nine in Europe.
--  Catheter Sales: 401 Artisan? Control Catheters were shipped in the
    first quarter, which exceeds the number of catheters shipped during all of
    2007.
--  Collaboration with St. Jude Medical: The company's CoHesion? 3D
    Visualization Module -- a module integrating the 3D movement of the Sensei
    system with the 3D visualization of the Ensite? system from St. Jude
    Medical -- has been configured in six systems in Europe. Clearance for the
    integrated system by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is expected
    by mid-2008.
--  Enhanced Manufacturing Capabilities: Previous and ongoing investments
    made to improve the company's manufacturing capabilities are proving to be
    effective as the manufacturing capacity of the Sensei system increased to
    an average of three systems per month during the first quarter, and
    manufacturing yields of the Artisan control catheter were approximately 90%
    at the end of the period.
--  Secondary Financing: In April 2008, the company completed a successful
    secondary public offering of common stock, selling three million shares
    with net proceeds to the company of approximately $39.4 million.
    

"I am pleased to report that since commercialization, we have achieved four consecutive quarters of increases in the number of systems placed," said Frederic Moll, M.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of Hansen Medical. "In this past quarter, we recorded revenue on eight Sensei Robotic Catheter Systems, bringing the number of units we have recognized revenue on -- which we refer to as our installed base -- to 23 systems in our first 10 months of commercialization. First quarter shipments represent more than a 50% increase in our installed base, which now includes 14 systems in the United States and nine in Europe. Additionally, the 401 catheters sold in the first quarter exceeded the number shipped during all of 2007 and is nearly double the prior quarter's catheter shipments.

"As the demand for our platform continues to grow, the investments we have made to increase manufacturing capacity and improve catheter yields will allow us to meet customer expectations and expand our worldwide market presence more efficiently," concluded Dr. Moll.

2008 First Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6.2 million. During the quarter, the company recorded revenue on the sale of eight Sensei systems (including five in the United States and three Sensei systems in Europe), shipments of 401 Artisan control catheters and one CoHesion module. No revenues were recorded in the same period in 2007.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.9 million and included non-cash stock compensation expense of $161,000. Gross profit for the quarter was $1.3 million yielding in a gross margin of 21%. There were no costs of goods sold, gross profit or gross margin recorded in the same period in 2007. The company expects that cost of goods sold, both as a percentage of revenue and on a dollar basis for the remainder of 2008, will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter as revenue grows, manufacturing levels change, scale up of both in-house and contract manufacturing processes to full commercial levels is achieved, and as the company transitions into a new manufacturing facility.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $570,000, were $5.2 million, compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2007, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $720,000. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, the company was in the development stage and all manufacturing expenses, including provisions for inventory valuation, were included in research and development expenses. Beginning with commercialization in the second quarter of 2007, the company's manufacturing expenses were included in cost of goods sold. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included development-stage manufacturing expenses of $1.0 million. The remaining change in research and development expenses was due primarily to increased compensation expenses related to higher headcount necessary for the development of our Sensei system and the disposable Artisan catheters for the EP market, percutaneous valve replacement application and other future applications.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million, were $8.1 million, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2007, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.1 million. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to increased compensation expenses related to higher headcount necessary to support continued growth, legal costs for the development of the company's intellectual property portfolio and other IP and litigation-related legal costs, lease costs for the new facility and increased non-cash stock compensation expenses. The company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase during the remainder of this year due to the continued growth of its sales and clinical support groups and the expansion of its intellectual property portfolio.

Other income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $352,000, compared to $982,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest income related to lower average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as a result of cash used in operations and the acquisition of AorTx.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $2.0 million, was $11.6 million, or $(0.53) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 21.8 million. This compares to a net loss of $8.6 million, or $(0.40) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 21.4 million, for the same period in 2007, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.8 million.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2008 were $32.8 million, compared to $48.6 million as of December 31, 2007. The decrease is due mainly to the company's normal operating expenses and $2.3 million in capital expenditures primarily related to the build out of the new facility. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, in April 2008, the company successfully completed a secondary public offering of common stock, selling three million shares with net proceeds to the company of approximately $39.4 million.
