BABY PishPosh Inc

Natus Medical Incorporated (Nasdaq:BABY) today announced that the FDA has approved its supplement to the premarket approval application for the Olympic Cool-Cap. Natus is now cleared to resume shipping the device within the United States. The Cool-Cap is the only FDA-approved device for the treatment of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (�HIE�) in term newborns. The system provides selective head cooling to prevent or reduce the severity of neurologic injury associated with HIE. Approximately three in 1,000 newborns are at risk of brain injury due to an interruption of blood flow and oxygen supply during labor and delivery. In 1999, the Company�s Olympic Medical division initiated a four-year international multi center study of the Cool-Cap system. Results of the study confirmed that when head cooling therapy was administered to patients within the first six hours of life, the severity of brain injury was significantly decreased compared to the untreated control group. The study enrolled babies at high risk for moderate to severe brain injury as diagnosed by using the Company�s Olympic CFM 6000 Cerebral Function Monitor, which aids in identifying neurological abnormalities such as HIE. In December 2006, Natus announced that it had received premarket approval (�PMA�) from the FDA to market the Cool-Cap, a Class III medical device. In transitioning production of the Cool-Cap from clinical units to commercial units, the Company updated many of its components. Because of its Class III device status, some of these component updates required that the Company submit a PMA supplement to the FDA, which the Company did in October 2007. The Company had previously put a hold on domestic shipments of Cool-Cap units. The Company received the supplement approval on February 11, 2008. Jim Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, �We are pleased that the FDA has approved these upgrades to the Olympic Cool-Cap. We can now resume shipments of the Cool-Cap in the United States and we expect we will be able to fulfill most, if not all, of our existing backlog of orders by the end of the first quarter. �We also believe our customers will be very happy that this issue has been satisfactorily resolved,� added Hawkins. �Because the Cool-Cap is the only FDA approved medical device for the treatment of HIE in term newborns, we want to get the device into the marketplace as quickly as possible so clinicians can begin using the device to treat these newborns.� About Natus Medical Incorporated Natus is a leading provider of healthcare products used for the screening, detection, treatment, monitoring and tracking of common medical ailments such as hearing impairment, neurological dysfunction, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and newborn care.
