Overview
We have developed the Pure-Vu System, (the “Pure-Vu System”), a medical device that has received 510(k) clearance frombeen cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). In June 2019, to help facilitate the 510(k) premarket notification for the second-generationcleansing of thea poorly prepared gastrointestinal tract during colonoscopy and to help facilitate upper gastrointestinal (“GI”) endoscopy procedures. The Pure-Vu System was reviewed and cleared by the FDA. The second-generation of our Pure-Vu System has receivedis also CE Mark approvalmarked in the European Economic Area.Area (EEA) for use in colonoscopy. The Pure-Vu System is indicated to help facilitate the cleaning of a poorly prepared colon during the colonoscopy procedure. The device integrates with standard and slim colonoscopes, as well as gastroscopes, to enable safeimprove visualization during colonoscopy and rapid cleansing during the procedureupper GI procedures while preserving established procedural workflow and techniquestechniques. Through irrigation and evacuation of debris, the Pure-Vu System is designed to provide better-quality exams. Challenges exist for inpatient colonoscopy and endoscopy, particularly for patients who are elderly, with comorbidities, or active bleeds, where the ability to visualize, diagnose and treat is often compromised due to debris, including fecal matter, blood, or blood clots. We believe this is especially true in high acuity patients, like GI bleeding where the existence of blood and blood clots can impair a physician’s view and removing them can be critical in allowing a physician the ability to identify and treat the source of bleeding on a timely basis. We believe use of the Pure-Vu System may lead to positive outcomes and lower costs for hospitals by irrigatingsafely and quickly improving visualization of the colon and evacuatingupper GI tract, potentially enabling effective diagnosis and treatment without delay. In multiple clinical studies to date, involving the irrigation fluid (water), fecestreatment of challenging inpatient and other bodily fluids and matter.outpatient cases, the Pure-Vu System has consistently helped achieve adequate bowel cleanliness rates greater than 95% following a reduced prep regimen. We also believe that the technology may be useful in the future as a tool to help reduce user dependency on conventional pre-procedural bowel prep regimens. Challenges with bowel preparation for inpatient colonoscopy represent a significant area of unmet need that directly affects clinical outcomes and increases the cost of care for a hospital in a market segment where most of the reimbursement is under a bundle payment based on a Medicare Severity Diagnostic Related Group (a “MS-DRG”). Based on our review and analysis of 2019 market data and 2021 projections for the U.S. and Europe, as obtained from iData Research Inc., we estimatebelieve that during 20212022 approximately 1.5 million inpatient colonoscopy procedures will bewere performed in the U.S. and approximately 4.8 million inpatient colonoscopy procedures will be performed worldwide. Upper GI bleeds occurred in the U.S. at a rate of approximately 400,000 cases per year in 2019, according to iData Research Inc. The Pure-Vu System has been assigned an ICD-10 code in the US. The system does not currently have a unique reimbursement codecodes with any private or governmental third-party payors in any country. We began commercializationother country or for any other use; however, we may pursue reimbursement activities in the fourth quarterfuture, particularly in the outpatient colonoscopy market. We received 510(k) clearance in February 2022 from the FDA for our Pure-Vu EVS System and have commenced commercialization of 2019, with the first commercial placements of our second generation Pure-Vu System as part of our initial U.S. market launch targeting early adopter hospitals. We do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales until the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and we expand our commercialization efforts for the Pure-Vu System, which is subject to significant uncertainty.this product.
Recent Developments
Warrant Exchange
On January 27, 2021, we entered into the Exercise Agreement with the investor party thereto (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, in order to induce the Investor to exercise certain previously issued warrants (the “Old Warrants”) for cash, we agreed, subject to beneficial ownership limitations contained in the Old Warrants, to issue to the Investor Warrants to purchase 0.75 shares of common stock for each share of common stock issued upon such exercise of the remaining 8,000,000 outstanding Old Warrants, or an aggregate of 6,000,000 Warrants. The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.12, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire on January 27, 2026.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years from the date of our initial public offering in February 2018, which would be at the end of the current fiscal year, ending December 31, 2023, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions described above until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies” can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”
