Perseon is dedicated to developing innovative technologies to fight cancer. Our products treat soft tissue tumors with precision-focused microwave energy, expanding treatment options for patients and healthcare providers everywhere.



MicroThermX

 

The one-of-a-kind microwave ablation system providing the perfect balance of precise control, flexibility and power.

Physicians who need to ablate soft tissue tumors, both malignant and benign, prefer the MicroThermX microwave ablation system because its 915 MHz frequency results in a deeper penetration into the tissue.Physicians get more power and, at the same time, more control when removing tumors in organs such as lung, liver, and kidney.

When larger ablation zones are required physicians rely on the Synchronous Wave Alignment technology of MicroThermX. Using multiple Perseon antenna tips increases the probability of reaching the center of large tumors and creating larger margins to ensure that all of the surrounding cells are eliminated.

Due to the flexibility of the system physicians use MicroThermX in open surgical procedures and percutaneous ablations. It consists of a single generator and amplifier that deliver microwave energy to single or multiple antenna(s).

The system is not intended for use in cardiac procedures. It is contraindicated in patients with pacemakers or other active electronic device implants and in pregnant women.

 

"With Perseon, you get a much bigger and better burn in a shorter amount of time."
— Dr. Sohail Contractor, Section Chief, Interventional Radiology Rutgers New Jersey Medical School

Perseon CEO Carnell on righting the ship in medtech: http://www.massdevice.com/perseon-ceo-carnell-on-righting-the-ship-in-medtech/
AUGUST 20, 2015 BY FINK DENSFORD 

"Perseon LogoPerseon (NSDQ:PRSN), previously known as BSD Medical, has gone through some significant changes in the past year – renamed, rebranded, and divested of assets. At the helm for these changes is Clint Carnell, former CEO of MyoScience, advisor to Covidienand veep of sales at Bausch & Lomb’s surgical division. 
Carnell has been in the medical device industry for more than 20 years, and spoke to MassDevice.com about his transition to Perseon earlier this year, how he’s helping the company turn around and how and why he operates within the medical device industry. 
Perseon's Clint Carnell 
Carnell “There’s nothing like being in medical devices – you’re working on something with smart people, engineers, scientists, physicians. You’re really solving complex problems, you’re developing products that are quite sophisticated and applying them to life saving benefits,” Carnell told MassDevice.com in an interview. 
When he joined PerseonCarnell said the company needed help. It had an incredibly useful device in its microwave ablation technology, but was burdened and on a sliding trajectory. 
“I’m comfortable coming into companies that have had troubles – identifying problems, creating critical solutions and hiring and inspiring a team to fix them,” Carnell said. 
He did just that, taking steps to divest the company of its hyperthermia devision, reshaped the board and leadership teams and tried to focus the company on commercializing what he saw as a device that could become a standard of care in the field. 
Perseon’s flagship product is the MicroThermX, a microwave ablation system used to ablate soft tissue tumors. The device can be used in percutaneous or open surgical procedures, and received expanded 510(k) clearance earlier this year for laproscopic ablation procedures using image guidance. 
The novel product is used to treat cancer, which Carnell said only reinforced the importance of what he does and why he stays in the medical device industry. 
“In the case of Perseon, I don’t think there’s a more noble cause than going to work every day trying to fight one of humanity’s worst diseases, and that’s cancer. You never go into business, necessarily, for that reason as a CEO, but it sure is nice to do when you walk through the door and you know that everyone on your team will deliver a product and a service that benefits patients worldwide and puts doctors in a hero’s position,” Carnell said. 
Carnell also took steps to shift the culture of the company, changing out 75% of the leadership team and half of the board. This year, Perseonissued guidance for sales of $3.5 million to $5 million, with gross margins of 65% to 75%. 
Even with the hard work to reshape it, the company has had a rocky path. Earlier this month, it flirted with delisting by Nasdaq, but managed to bring in enough interest from investors to raise $4.3 million to avoid the jam. 
Carnell said the road ahead wouldn’t be simple, for Perseon or any microcap medical device firm. Navigating FDA requirements takes longer, and issues with reimbursements are harder to handle than before, but he said he’s still optimistic. 
“I just think it’s a fascinating area to work in. From my standpoint, these are just table stakes if you’re going to run a medical device company – learning how to put a good team together, a good strategy and learning how to overcome the necessary nuances of running a medical device company,” Carnell said. 
Carnell said he hopes to expand Perseon’s microwave ablation technology from its current indication for stage 4 treatments to cover all stages. He claims the energy-based ablation is superior to radiofrequency, cryo and other forms of ablation that exist on the market today and is more affordable than the competition. 
“Energy ablation, particularly microwave, is really an incredibly powerful tool in helping physicians fight cancer. I think what you’ll see from us and others is expansion into new organs, tumors and a blue sky opportunity to give them better treatment than anyone recognizes. In 5 years, if we’re doing a follow up with MassDevice, it’ll be a no-brainer that physicians go to microwave quickly, and see it as the safe and effective tool it is,” Carnell said. 
And though it’s been a lot of hard work, according to Carnell, he’s enjoyed being at the reins for the company’s turnaround. 
“It’s been a lot of fun, helping to reshape the company and finally putting it in a position to take advantage of the growth opportunity in front of us,” Carnell said". 
What really Caught my eye,there is no other Biotech company trading under $5m Cap that FDA granted the company to market it's one-of-a-kind product and they marketing it right now.not to mention the huge increase on sales growing rate per last 10Q(sales increased 117%)..Get ready for AQXP 's type move.imo 
The cheapest biotech NASDAQ company,but still solid, Especially after recent developments: 
per 10Q: Assets/debt ratio about 2-solid. this is before recent offering."In connection with the closing of the Company’s registered offering of common stock and warrants on August 4, 2015, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.3 million".The Company believes that with the addition of these net proceeds it is now in compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Rule as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. way over the minimum required($2.5m) by Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). 
Based on Risks/Rewards, i find this very interesting due to the very low and rare cap,The MicroThermX® sales growing rate(117%!,check below the numbers) and the fact that "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the company a 510(k) clearance to market the MicroThermX for ablation of soft tissue". 
The company owns eight non-expired patents in the United States related to certain components or technology of its ablation and hyperthermia systems. The company has one patent license from Duke University. 11 new U.S. patent applications have been published in theUnited States, and 1 foreign patent is issued and others are pending. A total of 29 U.S. patents have been issued to the company.Government Regulation The company’s products sold in the United States are subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), as implemented and enforced by the FDA. Certain of the company’s products sold in the United States require FDA clearance to market under Section 510(k) of the FDCA. History The company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah in 1978 and was reincorporated in the state of Delaware in 1986. It was formerly known as BSD Medical Corporation and changed its name to Perseon Corporation in 2015.

Pyrexar HQ in Salt Lake City   

http://www.pyrexar.com/pyrexar-medical-moves-into-new-headquarters

On April 11, 2015 I posted my blog for the first time. We had just set up the office in a portion of the old BSD Medical building and we seem to be moving at the speed of light.  It was our first week in business and I complained about the lack of staplers.
 Start-ups are awesome.
