After the reporting period, PAXMAN filed a 510(k) premarket notification application for the expanded use of its Scalp Cooling System, to reduce the likelihood of chemotherapy-induced hair loss in cancer patients with solid tumours. In early November, PAXMAN announced new collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which means that patients being treated for breast cancer will get access to PAXMAN's scalp cooling systems at ten MSK locations in the New York City area where a total of 34 systems will be installed from January 2018 onwards. In November PAXMAN also informed that the Group's value of tangible fixed assets had been adjusted in the consolidated accounts as of 30 June 2017. The amendment referred exclusively to internal pricing in the Group and had no effects on cash flow in the period.
