LONE TREE, Colo., December 2, 2015 — Zynex (OTCQB: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, neurodiagnostic equipment, cardiac and blood volume monitoring and compound pharmacy, announced today an update on business developments for its electrotherapy product line.
CEO, Thomas Sandgaard, comments: “As mentioned in our recent 10-Q filing, orders for electrotherapy products have seen steady growth this year, with an average of 997 orders per month in 2015. In September/October as we added several new sales representatives, our October order count rose to 1,116, and November orders reached 1,256, showing an increase of 26% compared to the average orders per month in 2015.
The closure of DJO’s Empi division, announced in November, affected the availability of Empi TENS products at many clinics, and we experienced a large uptick in orders in the last few days of November that more than counteracted the traditional Thanksgiving holiday slowdown.
Based on market feedback, we anticipate December orders for electrotherapy products to be above the 1,500 count, with further progress expected next year. After rightsizing our fixed expenses and infrastructure, Zynex is well positioned to take on new business that Empi is leaving behind. Reimbursement per patient file increased this year due to improvements in billing personnel and processes. We are working diligently with our lender, and developing additional financing options to support the expected growth in the year ahead.”
