EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC; "NeuroOne" or the "Company"), a medical technology company focused on improving surgical care options and outcomes for patients suffering from neurological disorders, announces today that it has executed an agreement with RBC Medical Innovations to develop and manufacture a proprietary radiofrequency (RF) generator for use with NeuroOne's combination recording and ablation electrode that is being designed to both record brain activity and ablate brain tissue using the same electrode. Currently two separate hospital visits and surgeries are required to treat patients that have seizures due to epilepsy or brain tumors that contribute to seizures. The combining of the diagnostic and therapeutic functions is expected to save time, money and potentially improve patient outcomes given the patient will be able to get both procedures performed with the same device and as part of the same procedure requiring one hospital visit. If successful, this will represent the Company's first therapeutic product offering.
Dave Rosa, President and CEO of NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation says, "RBC is a well-respected firm with over 25 years of design, development and manufacturing of differentiated medical devices with some of the world's largest and most innovative companies. We believe this partnership will allow NeuroOne to offer a proprietary complete system combining our game-changing combination ablation electrode with the hardware and software required to perform these procedures. This will allow us to fully participate in a market estimated in excess of
Carl Mayer, President and CEO of RBC Medical Innovations says, "We are honored to partner with NeuroOne on this innovative new system that will significantly improve patient care. Using the cutting-edge Advantage Platforms™, RBC will reduce time-to-market, increase reliability and ultimately contribute to NeuroOne's ongoing success."

The Company previously announced it had successfully met the first performance milestone in the distribution and development agreement signed with Zimmer Biomet on July 20, 2020. In addition to acquiring exclusive global distribution rights to NeuroOne's Evo™ (Evo) patented electrode technology, the partnership also offered the potential for NeuroOne to earn back-end milestone payments if certain events were met within a specified time frame.
NeuroOne received FDA clearance for its Evo cortical technology in November 2019.
In partnership with Mayo Clinic, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) and other prominent academic medical centers, the Company began developing its cortical electrode technology in 2015. The Company initially focused its efforts on the epilepsy and intraoperative tumor monitoring markets. NeuroOne intends to continue to develop the technology for use in therapeutic applications for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and pain management due to failed back surgery procedures.
