We manufacture, market and sell products that provide HFCWO, including the SmartVest System that includes our newest generation SmartVest Clearway®, previous generation SmartVest SQL® and related products, to patients with compromised pulmonary function. The SmartVest Clearway is an updated and modern approach to HFCWO focused on an enhanced patient experience and proven patient outcomes. The product delivers effective 360 o oscillatory pressure through our proprietary rapid inflate-deflate technology which improves the patient’s ability to breathe deeply during therapy. SmartVest Clearway is the smallest, and lightest generator on the market, and is designed with an intuitive touchscreen to simplify programing and everyday use. Our products are sold in both the homecare market and the hospital market. The SmartVest SQL has been sold in the domestic homecare market since 2014. In 2015, we launched the SmartVest SQL into hospital and certain international markets. In June 2017, we announced the launch of the SmartVest SQL with SmartVest Connect™ wireless technology, which allows data connection between physicians and patients to track therapy performance and collaborate in treatment decisions. In 2022, we launched the SmartVest Clearway to adult pulmonary, pediatric and cystic fibrosis patients for use in the home. We have marketed the SmartVest System and its predecessor products since 2000 to patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and repeated episodes of pneumonia. Additionally, we offer our products to a patient population that includes neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, ALS, and patients with post-surgical complications or who are ventilator dependent or have other conditions involving excess secretion and impaired mucus transport.

We have primarily employed a direct-to-patient and provider model, through which we obtain patient referrals from clinicians, manage insurance claims on behalf of our patients and their clinicians, deliver our solutions to patients and train them on proper use in their homes. This model allows us to directly approach patients and clinicians, whereby we disintermediate the traditional durable medical equipment channel and capture both the manufacturer and distributor margins. We have engaged a limited number of regional durable medical equipment distributors focused on respiratory therapies as an alternate sales channel.

Previous wording

We observed increased lead times for certain components in our supply chain and increased material costs and shipping rates during the second half of fiscal 2022 and all of fiscal 2023. The changes to our supply chain lead times resulted in a temporary interruption that impacted product availability for certain customers beginning in September 2022 and continued through June 2023. In fiscal 2024, we experienced a return to normal supply chain lead times through renegotiated supplier agreements and improved long-term material requirements planning. We expect that material costs and shipping rates will continue to be a challenge during fiscal 2025 relating to supply chain availability and inflationary trends in electronic components and may extend to other components. In certain instances, we have purchased key materials in advance to ensure adequate future supply and mitigate the risk of potential supply chain disruptions. It is possible that these macro-economic conditions could have a greater adverse impact on our supply chain in the future, including impacts associated with preventative and precautionary measures taken by other businesses and applicable governments. A reduction or further interruption in any of our manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any significant increases to our raw material or shipping costs could reduce our gross margins.
