Comments from CEO, Patrik Byhmer, Redsense Medical AB

The strongest result in the company’s history

Our growth is driven by sales to the US home hemodialysis market and we have already received an increase in order volume in July and August. With President Trump's recently announced initiative we expect a continued increase in the US. During this fall we will continue to build our US business with more partners and stay close to the development by the government. We have good relationships with user groups and care givers (nurses and physicians organisations). Further we will assess and develop our supply chain, particularly serving the US.

In Europe we see an increase in sales from the Netherlands and the UK. We are working close to our distributors with training of customers and exhibitions, and are awaiting the results of several tenders. This is a lengthy process, however, we expect to see more activity during late fall. In Germany we have worked intensely during this summer with introducing the products and training some clinics for evaluation. We hope to have some new customers to announce during the fall.

We have announced a collaboration with Physidia, a French dialysis company focusing on the home hemodialysis market. The collaboration includes a direct connection, using the PAS standard, with the Redsense blood leakage alarm with Physidia’s new S3 dialysis monitor.

We are convinced that the home hemodialysis trend will continue as this modality gives a number of benefits for the patient as well as cost savings compared to treatments in clinic.

Building on our experiences with the PAS product and system we intent to develop a product that can stop the dialysis treatment when the device gives a blood leakage alarm without being connected to the dialysis machine. This project is in collaboration with the University Health Network in Toronto where we have tested the first prototype.

The result from this evaluation has been published in the Hemodialysis International (Kennedy et al 2019; 23:151–157), "A prototype line clamp for venous access bleeding".

We have presented a poster at IDEAS & Innovation in Dialysis in Seattle together with IEC/imec showing our innovative technology and how we can help to change the industry and support an increase in home hemodialysis.

We continue to strengthen our position within our new business area – Wound Care. We already noticed a significant interest in the technology from major international players in the wound care sector. This technology and patent confirm that we have developed a unique solution that can help to improve wound care globally.

Our goal is to create a strong patent protection for the technology in all important regional markets in parallel with the ongoing product development.

Our smart wound care technology makes it possible to develop thin sensor layers for optical measurement of most physiological and biological parameters such as in blood and wound fluids.

Looking ahead we expect continued increased sales for the balance of the year. We continue to focus on sales as well as building and strengthening partnerships with distributors and healthcare stakeholders.

It is also important to maintain business continuity and consistency to keep delivering above expectations. With that in mind, I am very much looking forward to an exciting and busy remaining year 2019!

About Redsense Medical
Redsense Medical is a corporate group with operations mainly in Europe and the United States. The company has developed the Redsense System, an innovation used for monitoring and alarm in the case of blood leakage in connection with a hemodialysis treatment. Redsense Medical solves one of the most serious remaining safety problems within hemodialysis – to quickly detect Venous Needle Dislodgement and catheter leakage to minimizing blood leakage. The system consists of a patented fiber optic sensor, designed for either venous needle or central venous catheter, which is connected to an alarm unit. From the very start, the development of the company's technology has been based on the demands and safety requirements of healthcare providers in the dialysis sector.
