Pulse Biosciences Announces Withdrawal and Planned Resubmission of 510(k) Application for the PulseTx
TM System
Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:PLSE), a medical technology company developing a proprietary therapeutic tissue treatment based
on its Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) platform, announced today that it has withdrawn its initial application to the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 510(k) clearance of its PulseTxTM System.
The voluntary withdrawal on September 8, 2017, was the result of the FDA’s appropriate request for additional data that could
not be provided within the Agency’s 90-day review period that would have otherwise ended on September 10, 2017. Pulse Biosciences
is committed to generating the requested data and analysis, and the company plans to submit the supplemental information in a
subsequent 510(k) application in the coming months.
“Over the past several months, we have been engaged in very productive and positive conversations with the FDA staff, and we
remain confident in our ability to obtain a 510(k) clearance for the PulseTx System and more broadly for Nano-Pulse Stimulation,”
noted Darrin Uecker, Pulse Biosciences President and Chief Executive Officer.
About Pulse Biosciences
Pulse Biosciences is a medical technology company developing a therapeutic tissue treatment platform based on Nano-Pulse
Stimulation, a proprietary cell signaling technology. Nano-Pulse Stimulation is a non-thermal, precise, focal drug-free tissue
treatment technology that directly affects the cell membrane and intracellular structures to stimulate unique behaviors in cells.
NPS can initiate a cell death process that allows for the treatment of tissue cells with minimal inflammatory response which
improves healing outcomes and supports the replacement of treated tissue cells with healthy tissue cells. In cancerous lesions, NPS
has been shown in preclinical models to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) exposing the unique antigens of the treated cells to
the immune system, resulting in the generation of cytotoxic T-cells and the mounting of an adaptive immune response targeted
against those cells. Pulse Biosciences is investigating a variety of applications for its technology that exploits the
technology’s unique biologic effect, including immuno-oncology, dermatology, and veterinary medicine. More information is available
