OxySure Therapeutics (OXYS) Provides Stockholder Update
Frisco, Texas, March 31, 2016 – OxySure Therapeutics, Inc. (OXYS) ("OxySure," or the "Company"), a global leader and medical device innovator of life-saving, easy-to-use emergency oxygen products with its "oxygen from powder" technology and other innovative emergency medical solutions today provided a stockholder update.
The Company provided an updated advisory to stockholders indicating that it expects to file its audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2015 during the week of April 11, 2016.
The Company’s legal team also addressed a recent FDA safety notice regarding the OxySure Model 615. Said Mazin Sbaiti, Esq., attorney with Friedman & Feiger LLP and OxySure’s litigation counsel: “OxySure strongly disagrees with both the content and import of the FDA's March 29, 2016, safety notice about the OxySure Model 615 device. We are sure that the thousands of people saved over the years with our product also disagree. Notably, the notice cites no evidence that shows that the OxySure Model 615 device does not perform up to FDA standards, or that it fails to perform as intended -- indeed, the record of usage to save lives would suggest otherwise. We continue to stand by our product, its innovativeness and the value it brings to society. FDA's sudden and unprompted notice is not only full of inaccuracies; it is plainly arbitrary and capricious.”
“The Board is reviewing all strategic and operational options at its disposal,” said Julian Ross, Chairman of the Company.
“From a strategic standpoint, we like the idea of using this opportunity to take a step back, take Model 615 offline and accelerate our plans for Generation 2. We are evaluating this approach being done in combination with an outsourcing strategy. Outsourcing can provide the benefits of immediate scale, efficiency and approvals such as ISO 13485, which is needed for markets such as Canada and others. At the same time, it can lower cost and it makes manufacturing cost more variable.”
The Company’s plans for Generation 2 of the device include improvements that provide user convenience and additional precautions against user error and intentional or unintentional abuse of the product.
“We plan to conduct focus groups regarding what this Generation 2 version will be called, but we expect it to be ready some time during the mid-summer of 2016,” Mr. Ross added.
