Houston Medical Robotics, Inc. Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Euclid Tier 1 Mini Access System

March 6, 2012 By AxoGen, Inc.

HOUSTON/PRNewswire/ — Houston Medical Robotics, Inc.
announces that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k)
clearance to market the Euclid™ Tier 1 Mini Access System. The Euclid™ Tier 1
Mini Access System is a portable, hand-held device that integrates commercially
available ultrasound imaging systems to facilitate placement of a needle and
guidewire into a targeted anatomical location for a variety of therapeutics
applications.

“Although numerous applications have been identified,
our initial target for the Euclid™ Tier 1 Mini Access System is reducing
complications associated with central venous catheter (CVC) placement,”
stated Jeffery J. Sheldon, Houston Medical Robotics, Inc. Chairman & CEO. “With
over 5 million CVCs placed each year – and published complication rates are as
high as 26% – we are poised to make a significant impact on healthcare
outcomes,” stated Mr. Sheldon.

Technology limitations, inadequate procedure training &
exposure, and varying patient size & morphology have all been identified as
co-contributors to the high CVC placement complication rates. Use of ultrasound
imaging during procedures has been shown to reduce complications; however, the
procedure is cumbersome and generally requires additional assistance. “The
Euclid™ Tier 1 Mini Access System places all the necessary tools and
consumables readily at hand for single-operator safe, effective, rapid, and
cost-effective access,” stated Mr. Sheldon.

raised $2.2 million from CitareTx Investment Partners I, LP, a Texas based medical
