−Removed: The broader “seven days”
−Removed: clearance is being pursued in discussion with FDA
−Removed: following our previous initial submission to the FDA for a 510(k).
−Removed: The GLP animal study
−Removed: requested by the FDA has been completed along with supplementary cadaver and animal studies.
−Removed: This data was submitted to the FDA as part of a pre-submission filing that included an
−Removed: in-person meeting on January 8, 2020 to define a likely small human clinical safety study
−Removed: through the de novo pathway.
−Removed: Based on encouraging animal data, we are also planning

+Added: Intravenous Infusion Platform Technology;
+Added: Innovations - Non-invasive laser-based glucose monitoring, single-use ventilators, resorbable pediatric ear tubes
+Added: and mechanical circulatory support cannulas.
+Added: EsoCheck, and EsoCure
+Added: and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) through our majority-owned
+Added: subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc.
+Added: EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly
+Added: screening test for the early detection of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (“EAC”) and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”),
+Added: including dysplasia and related pre-cursors to EAC in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux (“GERD”).
+Added: is based on our patented Caldus Technology developed by us to treat BE.
+Added: is a molecular diagnostic esophageal DNA test shown in a published human study to be highly accurate at detecting BE, as well
+Added: EsoCheck is a non-invasive cell collection device designed to sample cells from a targeted region of the esophagus in
+Added: a five-minute office-based procedure, without the need for endoscopy.
+Added: Both EsoGuard and EsoCheck are commercially available, as
+Added: separately marketed products, for physicians to prescribe for U.S.
+Added: is in development as an “Esophageal Ablation Device”
+Added: with the intent to allow a clinician to treat dysplastic BE before
+Added: it can progress to EAC, a highly lethal esophageal cancer, and to do so without the need for complex and expensive capital equipment.
+Added: We have successfully completed a pre-clinical feasibility animal study of EsoCure demonstrating excellent, controlled circumferential
+Added: ablation of the esophageal mucosal lining.
+Added: We plan to conduct additional development work and animal testing of EsoCure to support
+Added: a planned FDA 510(k) submission later in 2021.
+Added: are currently marketing the EsoGuard diagnostic LDT through a network of independent representatives working with our in-house
+Added: sales management.
+Added: Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), finalized the Clinical Laboratory Fee
+Added: Schedule determination for the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test (CPT code 0114U) in the amount of $1,938.10, with such reimbursement
+Added: expected to be applicable from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.
+Added: In addition, we have entered into a manufacturing agreement
+Added: with medical device contract manufacturer Coastline International Inc.
+Added: to serve as a high-volume, lower-cost manufacturer of the
+Added: EsoCheck device.
+Added: longer-term strategy is to secure a specific indication, based on published guidelines, for BE screening in certain at-risk populations
+Added: using EsoGuard on samples collected with EsoCheck.
+Added: This use of EsoGuard together with EsoCheck as a screening system must be cleared
+Added: or approved by the FDA as an in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”), device.
+Added: In September 2019, we entered into an agreement
+Added: with a clinical research organization to assist us with two ongoing clinical trials for EsoGuard as an IVD device, which are actively
+Added: enrolling patients and consist of a screening study (ESOGUARD-BE-1) and a case control study (ESOGUARD-BE-2).
+Added: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
+Added: Health - continued
+Added: February 2020, we received a FDA “Breakthrough Device Designation”
+Added: for EsoGuard as an IVD device.
+Added: The FDA Breakthrough
+Added: Device Program was created to offer patients more timely access to breakthrough technologies which provide for more effective
+Added: treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating human disease or conditions by expediting their development,
+Added: assessment and review through enhanced communications and more efficient and flexible clinical study design, including more favorable
+Added: pre/post market data collection balance.
+Added: have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for Lucid Diagnostics quality management system and filed a European Union CE Mark
+Added: regulatory submission for EsoCheck in November 2020, having confirmed that EsoGuard falls under the self-declaration category

+Added: Invasive Interventions
+Added: a minimally invasive surgical device for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, received FDA 510(k) marketing clearance
+Added: in April 2020.
+Added: CarpX is a minimally invasive surgical device for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
+Added: We launched CarpX
+Added: commercially in August 2020 with the first commercial procedure successfully performed in December 2020.
+Added: believe CarpX is designed to allow the physician to relieve the compression on the median nerve without an open incision or the
+Added: need for endoscopic or other imaging equipment.
+Added: To use CarpX, the operator first advances a guidewire through the carpal tunnel
+Added: under the ligament, and then advanced over the wire and positioned in the carpal tunnel under ultrasonic and/or fluoroscopic guidance.
+Added: When the CarpX balloon is inflated it creates tension in the ligament positioning the cutting electrodes underneath it and creates
+Added: space within the tunnel, providing anatomic separation between the target ligament and critical structures such as the median
+Added: Radiofrequency energy is briefly delivered to the electrodes, rapidly cutting the ligament, and relieving the pressure
+Added: on the nerve.
+Added: We believe CarpX will be significantly less invasive than existing treatments.
+Added: are commercializing CarpX through a network of independent U.S.
+Added: sales representatives and/or inventory-stocking medical distributors
+Added: together with our in-house sales management and marketing teams.
+Added: Our focus on CarpX, and other high margin products and
+Added: services, is particularly suitable to this mode of distribution.
+Added: A high gross margin allows us to properly incentivize our distributors,
+Added: which in turn allows us to attract the top distributors with the most robust networks in our targeted specialties.
+Added: distributors play an even larger role in many parts of Europe, most of Asia and emerging markets worldwide.
+Added: may eventually choose to build (or obtain through a strategic acquisition) our own sales and marketing team to commercialize CarpX,
+Added: along with some or all of our products, if it is in our long-term interests.
+Added: We may also choose to enter into distribution agreements
+Added: with larger strategic partners whereby we take full responsibility for the manufacturing of CarpX but outsource some or all of
+Added: its distribution to a partner, particularly outside the United States, with its own robust distribution channels.
+Added: have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for PAVmed’s quality management system and filed a European Union CE Mark regulatory
+Added: submission for CarpX in December 2020.

+Added: is a novel, patented, implantable, intraosseous vascular access device which does not require accessing the central venous system
+Added: and does not have an indwelling intravascular component.
+Added: It is designed to be highly resistant to occlusion and may not require
+Added: regular flushing.
+Added: It features simplified, near-percutaneous insertion and removal, without the need for surgical dissection or
+Added: radiographic confirmation.
+Added: It provides a near limitless number of potential access sites and can be used in patients with chronic
+Added: total occlusion of their central veins.
+Added: The absence of an intravascular component will likely result in a very low infection rate.
+Added: on encouraging animal data, we are preparing to initiate a long-term (60-day implant duration) first-in-human clinical study in
+Added: dialysis patients or those with poor venous access in Colombia, South America and intend to fulfill the likely FDA request for
