"Hansen Medical delivered a solid third quarter as we continued to execute on our strategy of growing our EP business and developing and launching our vascular robotic platform," said Bruce Barclay, Hansen Medical's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In support of our focus on launching our vascular platform, I am pleased to announce that we secured CE Mark for the Magellan Robotic System and the NorthStar Robotic Catheter and related accessories, and we have just installed the first Magellan Robotic System at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Several of the hospital's physicians and their staff have completed our extensive training program on the System and we are expecting the first clinical cases to be performed in the coming weeks. We are also driving momentum with our electrophysiology business, having recognized revenue from 15 systems over the first nine months of the year, compared to 12 in all of 2010. As we close out the year, we remain steadfastly focused on continuing to gain traction with our electrophysiology business while making significant inroads towards the commercialization of our robotic technology for vascular applications."

As previously reported, the Company, on September 7, 2011, received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responding to the Company's April 2011 submission of a 510(k) pre-market notification application for its Magellan Robotic System and NorthStar Robotic Catheter. The FDA's initial response requested additional information but did not request additional clinical cases. No questions were raised by the FDA regarding the 510(k) pathway for the device. The Company will respond to the FDA's questions which will include the results of additional pre-clinical testing. We believe that the FDA clearance for the Magellan and NorthStar products can be expected in the second quarter of 2012.

First Magellan™ Robotic System

Hansen installed its first Magellan™ Robotic System at St Mary's Hospital, London, a pioneer of robotic surgical technology. The Magellan System accesses peripheral vessels with a proprietary technology that delivers independent distal tip control of a catheter and a sheath, as well as robotic manipulation of a standard guidewire from a centralized, remote workstation. This system has the potential to transform the way endovascular treatments are performed for patients with Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). The System was designed to assist physicians to effectively and efficiently treat a variety of peripheral diseases, while reducing procedure time, lessening radiation exposure and enabling new procedures.

2011 Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $5.4 million, an increase of 53 percent compared to revenue of $3.5 million in the same period in 2010. During the third quarter, the Company recognized revenue on five Sensei Robotic Systems as well as shipment of a record 698 catheters. The Company shipped a total of two systems, both of which were recognized as revenue in the quarter. Further, 598 electrophysiology procedures were performed in the period with Company products. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a total deferred revenue balance of $7.2 million, which includes prior shipment of eight Sensei systems that have not been recognized as revenue.

Cost of revenues for the third quarter was $4.3 million and included non-cash stock compensation expense of $169,000 and charges recorded in connection with the build of vascular inventory of $524,000. As a result, gross profit for the quarter was $1.1 million and gross margin was 20.2 percent. This compares to gross profit of $338,000 and gross margin of 9.7 percent for the same period in 2010.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $274,000, were $3.5 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2010, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $388,000. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily the result of a $1.0 million increase in the financial accounting offset arising from the recognition of funded development costs under the joint development agreement with Philips which totaled $2.1 million in the third quarter. Additionally, research and development expenses in the current quarter also include a $367,000 non-cash charge associated with the acquisition of certain technology rights in exchange for Company stock.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.4 million, were $7.6 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2010, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $679,000. The increase in non-cash stock compensation is primarily due to a one-time charge of $623,000 to record the vesting of the unvested stock options held by the Company's Chairman as he transitioned to non-employee status. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased in the quarter due to growth in employee-related expenses and outside service costs.

Net loss for the third quarter, including total non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.8 million, was $10.1 million, or $0.18 per share, based on average shares outstanding of 55.1 million. This compares favorably with a net loss for the third quarter of 2010, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million, of $12.1 million, or $0.23 per share, based on average shares outstanding of 53.8 million.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2011 were $26.0 million, compared to $37.2 million as of June 30, 2011, and $28.0 million as of December 31, 2010.

About the Magellan™ Robotic System Hansen Medical's Magellan Robotic System is based upon the flexible robotic technology incorporated in the Sensei-X® Robotic Catheter System currently sold in the U.S. and Europe, which has been used in nearly 7,000 patients with cardiac arrhythmia, but includes a number of key enhancements. In particular, the Magellan Robotic System:

  • Allows for independent, individual robotic control of the distal tips of both the outer sheath and the inner leader catheter, as well as robotic manipulation of standard guidewires.
  • Is designed to allow for sufficient extension inside the body to better access hard to reach peripheral anatomy.
  • Preserves the open architecture featured in the Sensei System to allow for the subsequent use with most 6F therapeutic devices on the market today.
  • Employs a catheter that is expected to be available in multiple lengths and has a low profile with significant flexibility to be compatible with most 6F treatment catheters currently used today.

Last year, the Company announced the completion of its First-in-Man study in Europe during which 20 endovascular procedures were successfully performed in patients with an earlier version of the Magellan Robotic System, demonstrating its potential to allow physicians to effectively treat peripheral vascular disease, while lessening radiation exposure.

In Europe, the Magellan Robotic System, including the NorthStar Robotic Catheter and related accessories, are CE marked. In the U.S., the Magellan Robotic System requires U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) clearance, and a 510(k) application is currently pending. As such, the products are not commercially available in the U.S.

About Hansen Medical, Inc. Hansen Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, develops products and technology using robotics for the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The Company's Sensei® X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in electrophysiology (EP) procedures. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), have not been established. In the European Union, the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter are cleared for use during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF, and the Lynx® Robotic Ablation Catheter is cleared for the treatment of AF. The Company's Magellan™ Robotic System, NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter and related accessories, which are intended to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets in the peripheral vasculature and subsequently provide a conduit for manual placement of therapeutic devices, have undergone conformity assessment and CE marking and are commercially available in the European Union. In the U.S., the Magellan™ Robotic System, the NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter and accessories are the subject of a current filing with the FDA and are not commercially available.
