Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Current report
Revenue. Revenue decreased from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately 21%. Revenue from the sales of systems decreased from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by decreased system sales volumes in the current year period. Revenue from sales of disposable interventional devices, service and accessories decreased to $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately 8%. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased service revenue in the current year period.
Current report
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately 35%. As a percentage of our total revenue, overall gross margin increased to 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from 56% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to changes in product mix. Cost of revenue for systems sold decreased from $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by decreased system sales volumes in the current year period. Gross margin for systems was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of revenue for disposables, service, and accessories increased from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by higher expenses incurred under service contracts in the current period. Gross margin for disposables, service and accessories was 79% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 76% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by decreased service revenue in the current year period.
Current report
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 16%. This decrease was primarily driven by the reversal of an accrued regulatory license fee of approximately $0.5 million and decreased headcount costs in the current year period.
Current report
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include finance, information systems, legal, and general management. General and administrative expenses increased from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately 2%. This increase was primarily driven by higher administrative expenses and professional service fees in the current period.
Current report

There is substantial real-world evidence and clinical literature for Robotic Magnetic Navigation in electrophysiology. Hundreds of electrophysiologists at over one hundred hospitals globally have treated over 100,000 arrhythmia patients with our robotic technology. Clinical use of our technology has been documented in over 400 clinical publications. Robotic Magnetic Navigation is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures with greater success and safety by providing image-guided delivery of catheters through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied computer-controlled magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter, resulting in improved navigation. The more flexible atraumatic design of catheters driven using magnetic fields may reduce the risk of patient harm and other adverse events. Performing the procedure from a control cockpit enables physicians to complete procedures in a safe location protected from x-ray exposure, with greater ergonomics, and improved efficiency. We believe these benefits can be applicable in other endovascular indications where navigation through complex vasculature is often challenging or unsuccessful and generates significant x-ray exposure, and we are investing in research and development in these areas.
