1. | We note your revisions in response to prior comment 1. If Mr. Drachman alleges that the study data he received indicated that your system would not perform in the manner that was communicated to him, please clarify your disclosure which currently states that he alleges that the withheld data led him to doubt the communications. |
Response:
The Company has revised its disclosure on pages 1 and 35 of Amendment No. 7 to clarify that Mr. Drachman alleges that the highly limited information that he received, rather than the information that was withheld, led him to doubt that the actual performance of the PURE EP System would be consistent with the statements communicated to him.

Response:
The Company has revised and expanded its disclosure in the sixth paragraph of the “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” section on page 57 of Amendment No. 7 with respect to the transaction mentioned in the third paragraph to Note 3 on page F-12. The Company notes that the warrants to purchase an aggregate 53,830 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.61 per share, as described in Note 3, include warrants issued to (i) Mr. Londoner to purchase 47,848 shares of common stock and (ii) Mr. Steinhouse to purchase 5,982 shares of common stock. These warrants were issued to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, which included Mr. Londoner and Mr. Steinhouse, as consideration for amendments to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement related to the Series C Preferred Stock in July 2013 and October 2013. As a result of the amendment to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock on March 27, 2014, the full-ratchet anti-dilution protection provision of the warrants decreased the exercise price of the warrants from $2.61 to $1.50 per share and increased the number of shares issuable under each warrant to 83,256 shares for Mr. Londoner and 10,408 shares for Mr. Steinhouse.
The Company has revised and expanded its disclosure on pages 39, 57 and 58 of Amendment No. 7 to clarify the composition of the amounts mentioned in the second paragraph of Note 3 on page F-12. In addition, please refer to the itemized schedules below, which sets forth each amount due to related parties as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and where such amount is disclosed in Amendment No. 7.

*Please note that such amounts are disclosed as accrued interest on outstanding promissory notes.
The Company has re-inserted the disclosure related to the November 21, 2012 transaction with Mr. Londoner on page 57 of Amendment No. 7, which had been removed inadvertently from Amendment No. 6.
The Company has added disclosure on pages 57 and 58 of Amendment No. 7 with respect to the $10,500 related-party advance that is reflected on the March 31, 2014 balance sheet, which represents (i) $10,000 advanced to the Company by Mr. Steinhouse on March 5, 2014, which was repaid in full on April 3, 2014 and (ii) $500 that was previously advanced by Dr. Drakulic in April 2011, but which remains unpaid as of the date hereof.
Rule 144, page 59
3. | We note your response to prior comment 4. However, it remains unclear how this section fully complies with Regulation S-K Item 201(a)(2)(ii) since your disclosure currently addresses only a fraction of the outstanding shares. Please advise or revise. |
Response:
The Company has revised and expanded its disclosure on pages 59 and 60 of Amendment No. 7 to address the full number of outstanding shares and when the Company believes that such shares are or will become eligible for resale under Rule 144 by non-affiliates and affiliates, respectively.
In addition to the foregoing responses, the Company notes that it still expects to achieve the milestones set forth on pages 24 and 29 of Amendment No. 7 during the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Please direct any questions or comments concerning this response to the undersigned at (212) 659-4974.
Very truly yours,
