Previous wording
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, as well as pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious disease could have an adverse effect our supply chain, our hospital customers buying patterns, and our ability to raise capital and could otherwise disrupt our normal business operations.
Current wording
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, as well as pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious disease could have an adverse effect on our supply chain, our hospital customers buying patterns, and our ability to raise capital and could otherwise disrupt our normal business operations.
Previous wording
Future results of operations could be materially adversely impacted by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. The Company continues to experience difficulties with periodic worldwide supply chain disruptions, including shortages and inflationary pressures, tariffs and other trade regulations that are or may be imposed, and logistics delays which make it difficult for us to source parts and ship our products. We have generally been able to conduct normal business activities albeit in a more deliberate manner than prior to the pandemic, including taking action to increase inventory levels and engaging in discussions with our vendors on contractual obligations, but we cannot guarantee that they will not be impacted more severely in the future. Our suppliers and contract manufacturers have experienced, and may continue to experience, similar difficulties. If our manufacturing operations or supply chains are materially interrupted, it may not be possible for us to timely manufacture or service our products at required levels, or at all. Changes in economic conditions and supply chain constraints could lead to higher inflation than previously experienced or expected, which could, in turn, lead to an increase in costs. We may be unable to raise the prices of our products sufficiently to keep up with the rate of inflation. A material reduction or interruption in any of our manufacturing processes or a substantial increase in costs would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Current wording
Future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely impacted by uncertainties in macroeconomic and geopolitical factors in both the U.S. and globally including continuing introduction of new or modification of existing tariffs or trade barriers, supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, and disruptions in commodity markets stemming from conflicts, such as those between Russia and Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, including Israel and Iran. The Company continues to experience difficulties with periodic worldwide supply chain disruptions, including shortages and inflationary pressures, tariffs and other trade regulations that are or may be imposed, and logistics delays which make it difficult for us to source parts and ship our products. We continue to evaluate the macroeconomics business environment, taking action to increase inventory levels where appropriate and engaging in discussions with our vendors on contractual obligations, but we cannot guarantee that our business activities will not be impacted more severely in the future. Our suppliers and contract manufacturers have experienced, and may continue to experience, similar difficulties. If our manufacturing operations or supply chains are materially interrupted, it may not be possible for us to timely manufacture or service our products at required levels, or at all. Changes in economic conditions, government shutdowns, tariff escalation, retaliatory measures and new import restrictions could lead to higher inflation than previously experienced or expected, which could, in turn create supply shortages as companies seek alternative sources of supply and adjust their logistics and transportation routes. As a result of these factors, we may be unable to raise the prices of our products sufficiently to keep up with the rate of inflation, especially tariff-induced inflation. A material reduction or interruption in any of our manufacturing processes or a substantial increase in costs would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Previous wording
Many of our hospital customers, for whom the purchase of our system involves a significant capital purchase which may be part of a larger construction project at the customer site (typically the construction of a new building), may themselves be under economic pressures. Hospitals continue to experience challenges with staffing and cost pressures as supply chain constraints and inflation drive up operating costs. This may cause delays or cancellations of current purchase orders and other commitments and may exacerbate the long and variable sales and installation cycles for our robotic magnetic navigation systems. Our hospital customers have also experienced challenges in sourcing supplies, such as catheters, needed to perform procedures. Such shortages have, and may continue to, put pressure on procedures and our disposable revenue.
Current wording
Many of our hospital customers, for whom the purchase of our system involves a significant capital purchase which may be part of a larger construction project at the customer site (typically the construction of a new building), may themselves be under similar pressures. Hospitals continue to experience challenges with staffing and cost pressures as supply chain constraints and inflation drive up operating costs. Hospitals may also be adversely affected by the liquidity concerns driven by elevated interest rates and the broader macroeconomic environment. These factors could cause delays or cancellations of current purchase orders and other commitments and may exacerbate the long and variable sales and installation cycles for our robotic magnetic navigation systems. Our hospital customers have also experienced challenges in sourcing supplies, such as catheters, needed to perform procedures. Such shortages have, and may continue to, put pressure on procedures and our disposable revenue. Delays in order placement, cancellation of existing orders and reduced demand or availability of our disposable products all would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Previous wording
Pandemics may negatively affect demand for both our systems and our disposable products in the future. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we had negative demand for our products, and generally experienced other business disruptions, such as travel restrictions on us and our third-party distributors. All of this negatively affected our complex sales, marketing, installation, distribution and service network relating to our products and services, and that may occur again in the future if we experience another pandemic or a significant resurgence of COVID-19. We also experienced reductions in demand for our disposable products as our healthcare customers (physicians and hospitals) re-prioritized the treatment of patients and diverted resources away from non-pandemic related areas, leading to the performance of fewer procedures in which our disposable products are used. Significant decreases to our capital or recurring revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. While we cannot reliably anticipate whether there will be new or periodic resurgences of pandemic-related issues, or the impact or the severity of any such pandemics or resurgences, we believe that any such instances could cause periodic disruptions to our manufacturing operations, supply chains, procedures volumes, service activities, and capital system orders and placements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The impact has varied widely over time by individual geography.
Current wording
In addition to the macroeconomic factors, occurrences similar to the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect demand for both our systems and our disposable products. In the past, we have experienced business disruptions, including travel restrictions on us and our third-party distributors, which negatively affected our complex sales, marketing, installation, distribution and service network relating to our products and services. We also experienced reductions in demand for our disposable products as our healthcare customers (physicians and hospitals) re-prioritized the treatment of patients and diverted resources away from non-pandemic areas, leading to the performance of fewer procedures in which our disposable products are used. The impact varied widely over time by individual geography. For instance, in 2022, procedure volumes were challenged by periodic resurgences of COVID-19, ongoing hospital staffing issues and other factors. In the first quarter of 2023, COVID-19 resurgences in China continued to negatively impact our procedure volumes in that region, but as infections and hospitalization decreased, we saw a recovery of procedure volumes with no further impacts in the year. Significant decreases to our capital or recurring revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. We continue to anticipate periodic disruptions to our manufacturing operations, supply chains, procedures volumes, service activities, and capital system orders and placements relating to new or ongoing periodic resurgences of pandemic-related issues, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Previous wording
To achieve and grow sales, hospitals must purchase our products and, in particular, our robotic magnetic navigation systems. The robotic magnetic navigation system is a novel device, and hospitals and physicians are traditionally cautious in adopting new products and treatment practices. In addition, hospitals may delay their purchase or installation decision for the robotic magnetic navigation system based on the disposable interventional devices that have received regulatory clearance or approval. Moreover, the robotic magnetic navigation system is an expensive piece of capital equipment, representing a significant portion of the cost of a new or replacement interventional lab. Although priced significantly below a robotic magnetic navigation system, theOdysseySolution is still an expensive product. While we have partnered with fluoroscopy manufacturers to reduce the cost of acquisition, the ongoing cost of ownership, and the complexity of installation of a robotic electrophysiology practice, this strategy may not be successful. If hospitals do not widely adopt our systems or partnered products or if they decide that our systems are too expensive, we may never become profitable. Any failure to sell as many systems as our business plan requires could also have a seriously detrimental impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity position, and cash flow.

Previous wording
For example, supply chain disruptions have led to vendor discussions regarding contractual performance which we intend to resolve through continued negotiations but have required us to assert performance issues under our vendor agreements. We may not be successful in our claims, and even if we are successful, we may continue to experience supply disruptions. Our collaborators range from small and midsized organizations which may have limited resources to large, global organizations with diverse product lines and interests that may diverge from our interests in commercializing our products. Accordingly, our collaborators may not devote adequate resources to our products, or may experience financial difficulties, change their business strategy or undergo a business combination that may affect their willingness or ability to fulfill their obligations to us.
Current wording
For example, supply chain disruptions have led to vendor discussions regarding contractual performance which we generally resolve through negotiations, although in one instance we have been required to assert performance issues under the vendor agreement. We may not be successful in our negotiations or claim, and even if we are successful, we may continue to experience supply disruptions. Our collaborators range from small and midsized organizations which may have limited resources to large, global organizations with diverse product lines and interests that may diverge from our interests in commercializing our products. Accordingly, our collaborators may not devote adequate resources to our products, or may experience financial difficulties, change their business strategy or undergo a business combination that may affect their willingness or ability to fulfill their obligations to us.
Previous wording
The failure of one or more of our collaborations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, if we are unable to enter into additional collaborations in the future, or if these collaborations fail, our ability to develop and commercialize products could be impacted negatively and our revenue could be adversely affected. For example, our agreement with Biosense Webster expired by its terms on December 31, 2022. While the agreement provides for a continuation of supply by Biosense Webster of the co-developed catheters to us or our customers for three years following the termination, we no longer receive royalty payments from Biosense Webster. Although we are in the process of establishing alternative catheter supply arrangements, including the development of a fully owned magnetically enabled ablation catheter, we cannot guarantee that those arrangements will be successful. Failure to establish alternatives may reduce the likelihood that physician users will continue to use our technology which will have a negative impact on our future revenue, cash flow and operations. Even if we are successful in establishing one or more alternatives, we cannot guarantee that those arrangements will replace the royalty revenue stream previously received from the sale of the Biosense Webster catheter.
Current wording
The termination or failure of one or more of our collaborations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, if we are unable to enter into additional collaborations in the future, or if these collaborations fail, our ability to develop and commercialize products could be impacted negatively and our revenue could be adversely affected. For example, our agreement with Johnson & Johnson expired by its terms on December 31, 2022 ending the receipt of royalty payments on the J&J catheters. While that agreement provided for a continuation of supply by Johnson & Johnson of the J&J catheters to us or our customers for three years following the termination, that obligation lapsed on December 31, 2025. Although we are in the process of establishing alternative catheter supply arrangements, including our proprietary magnetically enabled ablation catheter, we cannot guarantee that an adequate alternative catheter supply will be available in a timely manner. Failure to maintain an adequate supply of magnetically enabled ablation catheters may reduce the likelihood that physician users will continue to use our technology which will have a negative impact on our future revenue, cash flow and operations. Even if we are successful in establishing an adequate alternate supply, it is unlikely that those arrangements will replace the royalty revenue stream previously received from the sale of the J&J catheter.

We have obtained the CE marking for us to market the Stereotaxis MAGiC catheter, a robotically-navigated magnetic ablation catheter, designed to perform minimally invasive cardiac ablation procedures, in Europe and are pursuing regulatory approval in the U.S. and various other global geographies. We are aware of two other companies that also produce and sell magnetically enabled catheters. Approval processes can be lengthy and uncertain, submissions may require revised or additional non-clinical and clinical data, and regulatory applications could be denied.

We have incurred substantial net losses since inception, including incurring an accumulated deficit of $561.7 million as of December 31, 2024, and we expect to incur losses into the future as we continue the commercialization of our products. Moreover, the extent of our future losses and the timing of profitability are highly uncertain. Although we have achieved operating profitability during certain quarters, we may not achieve profitable operations on an annual basis, and if we achieve profitable operations, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we require more time than we expect to generate significant revenue and achieve annual profitability, or if we are unable to sustain profitability once achieved, we may not be able to continue our operations. Our failure to achieve annual profitability or sustain profitability on an annual or quarterly basis could negatively impact the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, even if we achieve significant revenue, we may choose to pursue a strategy of increasing market penetration and presence or expand or accelerate new product development or clinical research activities at the expense of profitability.

We depend on contract manufacturers to produce and assemble certain of the components of our systems and other products such as our electrophysiology catheter advancement device and other disposable devices. We also depend on various third-party suppliers for the magnets we use in our robotic magnetic navigation system and certain components of ourOdysseySolution. In addition, some of the components necessary for the assembly of our products are currently provided to us by a single supplier, including the magnets for our robotic magnetic navigation system and certain components of ourOdyssey Solution, and we generally do not maintain large volumes of inventory. Our reliance on these third parties involves a number of risks, including, among other things, the risk that:

In addition, if these manufacturers or suppliers stop providing us with the components or services necessary for the operation of our business, we may not be able to identify alternate sources in a timely fashion. Any transition to alternate manufacturers or suppliers would likely result in operational problems and increased expenses and could delay the shipment of, or limit our ability to, provide our products. We cannot assure you that we would be able to enter into agreements with new manufacturers or suppliers on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, obtaining components from a new supplier may require a new or supplemental filing with applicable regulatory authorities and clearance or approval of the filing before we could resume product sales. Any disruptions in product flow may harm our ability to generate revenue, lead to customer dissatisfaction, damage our reputation and result in additional costs or cancellation of orders by our customers.
Current wording
In the past, some critical suppliers have stopped providing us with the components and services necessary for the operation of our business, requiring us to identify alternate sources. We cannot guarantee that another manufacturer or supplier will not, in the future, stop providing us with components or services necessary for the operation of our business, and if that were to occur, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to identify alternate sources in a timely fashion or at all. In the past, transitions to alternate manufacturers and suppliers has resulted in operational problems, increased expenses, and limitations on our ability to provide our products.

Previous wording
Trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, could also affect the importation of those product components and could increase the cost and reduce the supply of products available to us. For example, the Trump administrations has implemented, or is considering the imposition of, tariffs on certain foreign goods, including on our products that emanate from China as described above and we cannot predict the implementation or effects of any such tariffs or proposed tariffs, or any potential legislation or actions taken by the U.S. federal government that restrict trade, such as additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures taken by governments in Europe, Asia, and other countries, could adversely impact our ability to sell products and services, which could increase the cost of our products and the components and raw materials that go into making them. Countries may also adopt other protectionist measures that could limit our ability to offer our products and services. In addition, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, or significant price increase from these suppliers, could increase the cost of products we purchase from overseas vendors.

As a result of the acquisition, we will be managing APT’s ongoing business of manufacturing, commercializing, development and sales of APT’s catheters and related products and services. The manufacturing process of catheters is complex, highly technical, and our prior experience in this field is dated. The process can be subject to periodic worldwide supply chain disruptions, including labor shortages and inflationary pressures, and logistics delays which make it difficult for us to source parts and ship our products. We may require a higher level of overhead than currently anticipated. Our ability to successfully manage this new aspect of our business will depend, in part, upon management’s ability to design and implement strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of APT into us, but also the increased scope of the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in manufacturing catheter products or that we will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits anticipated from the acquisition.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 49.4 million shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bears dividends at a rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum, which are cumulative and accrue daily from the date of issuance on the $1,000 stated value. Such dividends will not be paid in cash, except in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Instead, the value of the accrued dividends is added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and will increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, which will dilute the ownership of our common stockholders. In addition, we may be obligated to issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with our 2024 acquisition of APT, which could further dilute our current stockholders’ ownership. See “—Risks Related to our 2024 Acquisition of APT—Issuance of the Earnout Consideration will result in dilution to our stockholders and may adversely affect us, including the market price of our securities.”

The market price of our common stock will be affected by a number of factors, including:
Previous wording
These factors, as well as general economic, credit, political and market conditions, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As with the stock of many other public companies, the market price of our common stock has been particularly volatile during the recent period of upheaval in the capital markets and world economy. This excessive volatility may continue for an extended period of time following the filing date of this report. Furthermore, the stock prices of many companies in the medical device industry have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Volatility in the price of our common stock on the NYSE American Market may depress the trading price of our common stock, which could, among other things, allow a potential acquirer of the Company to purchase a significant amount of our common stock at low prices. In addition, the volatility of our stock price could lead to class action securities litigation being filed against us, which could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management resources, which could significantly harm our business.

As described in Note 11 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on February 23, 2021, the Company`s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the grant of the Performance Share Unit Award (“CEO Performance Award”) pursuant to the CEO Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (the “PSU Agreement”), to David L. Fischel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the PSU Agreement, the Company will incur significant additional stock-based compensation expense over the term of the award regardless of whether or not any of the milestones are achieved as the probability of meeting the ten market capitalization milestones is not considered in determining the timing of expense recognition. The expense will be recognized on an accelerated basis through 2030. Total stock-based compensation recorded as operating expense for the CEO Performance Award was $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $29.8 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense remaining under the CEO Performance Award if Mr. Fischel continues to serve as CEO, or in a similar capacity, through 2030. This additional stock-based compensation expense, incurred regardless of whether any milestones are achieved, increases the difficulty for the Company to achieve a profitable position as measured by generally accepted accounting principles.
