Company

Company overview

NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation makes devices that physicians use to record brain activity and destroy targeted nervous tissue. Its Evo Cortical and Evo sEEG electrodes support recording and diagnosis; the OneRF Brain Ablation System lets physicians use the same electrode for diagnosis and treatment rather than changing electrodes.

Product sales provide most of its revenue, with OneRF sales to Zimmer making up most of that business. Zimmer holds exclusive global distribution rights for the covered electrodes and OneRF brain products. NeuroOne pays for development, while Zimmer pays for commercialization and handles marketing and sales. Zimmer has also paid an upfront fee for OneRF distribution rights. This makes NeuroOne heavily dependent on Zimmer to bring its products to market and generate sales.

NeuroOne also relies on outside manufacturing: one contract manufacturer makes its cortical and depth electrodes, and another supplier develops and manufactures OneRF. Its marketed brain products have FDA clearance, but products still under development need regulatory authorization before commercial sale. Product revenue does not yet cover full operating costs, so the company needs additional financing to sustain operations and development.

NeuroOne’s results depend heavily on Zimmer’s purchases and marketing of its electrodes and OneRF system under exclusive distribution agreements.

  • ClearPoint Neuro competes with NeuroOne’s OneRF system by selling technology that uses MRI guidance and lasers to ablate brain tissue. Watch sales of its Prism Neuro Laser Therapy System rather than overall revenue, which also includes services for pharmaceutical and medical-technology partners.

  • Neuropace’s implanted RNS therapy serves epilepsy patients and specialist treatment centers that overlap with those addressed by NeuroOne’s brain-recording and ablation products. The companies offer different treatments to this overlapping market, rather than interchangeable devices.

  • Medtronic sells technology for ablating brain tissue that NeuroOne identifies as a competitor to its commercial OneRF Brain Ablation System. Medtronic’s new products in brain ablation are therefore more relevant to NeuroOne than its diabetes pumps or glucose monitors.
