Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (“Ra Medical”) has initiated a voluntary recall of its DABRA laser system single-use catheters due to a change in product labeling.  As previously announced, Ra Medical’s DABRA laser system is experiencing inconsistent performance due to catheters that fail to calibrate prior to a procedure being performed, resulting in a temporary delay in the procedure. The Company has been continually reviewing its production processes to improve the product’s quality and consistency in performance. After collecting field data and performing internal testing, Ra Medical observed that while catheters can perform satisfactorily up to one year, catheters that were more than two months from sterilization had a significantly higher rate of non-calibration than catheters that were within than two months from sterilization.  Ra Medical is relabeling the catheters with two-month expiration, replacing its previous twelve-month shelf life expiration. Ra Medical believes that this change in product labeling will significantly reduce the number of catheters that fail to calibrate and thereby improve customer satisfaction with the product. As a result of the relabeling, Ra Medical will recall its catheters at customer sites to replace them with catheters displaying the new label.  The product-related costs that are expected to be associated with the recall are estimated to be between $0.2 and $0.4 million.

 

Ra Medical is continuing to review and upgrade its manufacturing process extending the period that the catheters will calibrate reliably and thereby extending the shelf life beyond two months.  

 

Ra Medical is in the process of notifying its physician customers of this recall and is arranging for the replacement of the recalled products.  Ra Medical will be sending a notification letter to each customer detailing steps for return of affected products.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed subject to the requirements of amended Item 10 of Regulation S-K, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing. The furnishing of this information hereby shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any such information.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).   Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, Ra Medical’s expectations with respect to the recall of its DABRA catheters, Ra Medical’s estimates of the product-related costs associated with the recall, and Ra Medical’s expectation to continue to review and upgrade its manufacturing process with the goal of extending the product expiration date. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause future results to differ materially from management’s current expectations include, among other things, future actions by the FDA and other regulatory bodies; the FDA disagreeing with Ra Medical’s proposed two month shelf life and requiring an additional recall or a shorter shelf life, or the FDA asking Ra Medical to cease manufacturing or marketing of its DABRA product; Ra Medical’s failure to adequately assess the cause and effect of the issues with the catheter manufacturing process that led to the recall; FDA clearance of future designs, labeling, and versions of the DABRA catheter; the ability of Ra Medical to replace the affected catheters in a timely and effective manner; the possibility that this recall could subject Ra Medical to claims or proceedings that may


adversely impact its business and financial condition; and other factors detailed from time to time in Ra Medical’s SEC reports, including Ra Medical’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and in its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ra Medical disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
