Financial Results
"We are encouraged by the continuing strong sales momentum into hospitals in
the fourth quarter" John A. Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Physiometrix,
Inc.
NO. BILLERICA, Mass., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Physiometrix, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PHYX) announced today it will report fourth-quarter and year end 2004
financial results and hold a telephone conference call to discuss the results,
as well as management's comments related to the Company's business, at 11:00
A.M. E.S.T. Thursday March 3, 2005. Call information will be made available
prior to that date.
John A. Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Physiometrix, Inc. comments, "Our
momentum in all phases of our business continues:
-- PSA 4000 sales to hospitals by Baxter increased by 19% and disposable
array sales by Baxter increased 45% as compared to Baxter's sales for
the third quarter of 2004
-- We continue to work with Baxter on increasing sales and an extension of
our distribution agreement for the PSA 4000/5000
-- The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) taskforce continues its
work on a practice parameter related to intra-operative brain
monitoring, which is currently scheduled to be published in 2005
-- We anticipate the completion of key studies in the intensive care unit
(ICU) to support our product launch for ICU applications in 2005
-- We are sponsoring a symposium along with Baxter at the Society of
Critical Care meeting on January 16th. We expect that this symposium
will serve as the introduction for our launch into the ICU
-- The PSA 5000 is being readied for launch in both the operating room and
ICU markets in mid-2005
-- We anticipate adding to our sales and marketing staff to work in
harmony with Baxter in increasing market share
-- We are funding a critical clinical study in 2005 related to cognitive
dysfunction in patients following general anesthesia. It is intended to
highlight important safety concerns for patients and could be very
influential in advancing the case for sedation monitoring as a standard
of care
-- A recent alert published by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) related to safety issues associated
with general anesthesia appears to be having a positive effect on the
number of evaluations requested by hospitals
We would like our shareholders to know that we are deeply committed to
advancing our best in class technology toward standard of care and are not
aware of any reason for the recent market activity in our stock. We look
forward to your support during this very exciting time for level of sedation
monitoring," Williams concluded.
