I really am not sure if anything new will be mentioned at this presentation. However there is an improved appetite for the latest Proxima device. Blood saving alone make it an interesting device to have at least one on an ICU unit for very sick patients....

First children's hospital to take up Proxima.....Manchester....
This is very good news...

Good news Ruth. Pro's and con's to this story.

For the first time we now have evidence the product will sell in a commercial way. Orders from 6 hospitals in the last 4 months.

They are going to need more cash in the next 6 months, possibly sooner. Whether that comes from their existing lender SVB or shareholders or a combination of both remains to be seen.

I suggest the balance between sales growth and therefore reduction in cash burn vs funding required is finely balanced. If they can get to 10 orders by June then I think all concerns over future funding will disappear.

Ruthbaby - 04 May 2017 19:39 - 66 of 71

But the much sought after traction in sales......looks finally to be beginning.
I will most certainly be adding to my holding if another open offer comes round...which is not 100% certain yet.
I believe that most forecasts on potential sales has never included pediatric customers.
Very strange as they are the ones at most risk from hospital anemia... Manchester is a big contract win. There network in the North Western area is very respected. I expect other orders to flow from this validation alone. Italy now open and doing business and Spain about to launch this week. The technology is fantastic. Remember all these units going out to customers will build up the data base for applying for USA license in a year or so....I think this is where SVB are looking....hence the £3 million loan...
Great contact profile....

Beginning to gain sales...recent update....

Sphere Medical Holding plc

Commercialisation Update
~ Proxima building European sales traction in adult and paediatrics ~



Sphere Medical Holding plc (AIM: SPHR.L), an innovative point-of-care monitoring and diagnostic devices company, today provides a commercialisation update for its wholly-owned Proxima platform product.



Proxima 4 was launched into the European market in December 2016 and a positive reaction to the product has been received with forward visibility of an expanding sales pipeline. Over 40 hospital departments have engaged with Sphere Medical on Proxima 4 and have requested evaluations, of which more than 30 have undergone a product demonstration. Evaluations, in which the system is connected to patients, have been conducted at 14 hospital departments and to date six hospital departments across three countries have placed orders for Proxima 4, more than doubling the key metrics over the two months from the announcement of our Full Year Results on 28 February 2017. Follow-up discussions are underway with the other hospitals which have conducted evaluations.



One of the advantages of Proxima 4 over the previously available product, Proxima 3, is the paediatric application, where a patient's blood conservation during procedures is typically even more critical than in adults. Since the launch of Proxima 4, the system has been connected to children for the first time and the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital has already placed an order, becoming the first paediatric unit to purchase Proxima product.



In continental Europe, the list of product distributors continues to expand and now includes Eumedics Medizintechnik GmbH in Austria. Training, marketing and monitoring of patients in hospitals are now underway via Burke and Burke in Italy and Prhoinsa is on track to commence marketing in Spain imminently.



Production processes have now been fully converted to Proxima 4 from the earlier product iteration, Proxima 3, and the establishment of Sphere's manufacturing facility in Wales has continued to progress according to plan. As is normal in the ramp up of wafer based technologies, a key focus remains on increasing product yield. We have been experiencing occasional limitations on the supply of Proxima 4 sensors. However, whilst supply is currently low, the Board is confident that yields will improve and there will be sufficient supply in place to meet the sales targets for the current full year and beyond.



Commenting on the commercial traction of Proxima, Wolfgang Rencken, CEO of Sphere Medical, said: "We are very pleased with the market reaction to Proxima 4 and encouraged by the early response from customers. We look forward to building on this through 2017."

10:19 30 Jun 2017

Wolfgang Rencken, chief executive of Sphere Medical Holding PLC (LON:SPHR) tells Proactive he's hugely excited their Proxima 4 critical care blood gas monitoring system can now work with electronics giant Philips' IntelliVue Patient Monitoring Systems.
The combination with Philips’ equipment means that Proxima's results can be recorded and displayed alongside other critical monitoring information, such as blood pressure, ECG, EEG, respiratory rate, cardiac output and temperature.

I read elsewhere....SPHR not now attending....

hangon - 07 Sep 2017 15:02 - 71 of 71

Recent reading (DYOR) suggests Sphere Medical has been soliciting for investment as late as 2017, perhaps they ducked-out of the July 2017 Exhibition, dunno. for any one of many reasons.
Yet records since 2012 show sp has declined from ~£1 (DYOR) to c.1p today. That is a massive loss by any imagination and Directors should be held to account over what they propose doing to restore the money entrusted to them by investors, who relied on the Company's outpourings of "Prospects" - which includes each and every Director, if I'm not mistaken ( Otherwise, what useful function are they performing?)....DYOR.
RNS:- What I read today( Sept 2017)- suggests Sphere Medical are cancelling their AIM-listing and going private....
well let's hope the good-ship has enough lifeboats.
