Drug Delivery1

Electrode Placement

Laser Ablation2

(1) Drug Delivery - The SmartFlow® cannula received 510(k) clearance for injection of cytarabine, a chemotherapy drug, to the ventricles or removal of CSF from the ventricles during intracranial procedures. Delivery of other therapeutic agents, and delivery of agents to other areas of the brain, using the SmartFlow cannula is investigational.

(2) Laser Ablation - MR Thermometry is an MRI-based functionality available on most MR scanner platforms and it is a feature built into products from several third party vendors. The ClearPoint system enables MRI-guided procedures and allows physicians to use this inherent MR capability during a procedure.

ClearPoint Hospital Economics

Increase Patients

Better patient experience provides hospitals the opportunity to reach additional patient populations that may otherwise forego surgery

65% of eligible DBS patients refuse treatment, due to fear of surgery(1)

Established, Attractive Reimbursement

Move procedures from the more expensive OR to the less expensive MR suite, with equivalent reimbursement

Improved Utilization of Existing MRI’s

1 hour of MR Scanner time used for diagnostic imaging could generate $1,200(2)

1 hour of MR scanner time used for a ClearPoint procedure could generate $5,275(3)

Utilizes existing MRI’s already in hospital

(1) Medtronic Investor Presentation, June, 2014

(2) Estimated average US hospital-based MRI suite revenue per hour for outpatient diagnostic scans, based on data gathered by MRI Interventions. Excludes professional fees. Actual revenues will vary by hospital, procedure and payor.

(3) Based on a weighted average payment to MRI Interventions’ customers (as of September 2014) for an electrode placement procedure for Medicare and private insurance patients, calculated by MRI Interventions using a payor mix weighted 67% to average Medicare reimbursement and 33% to average private insurance reimbursement. Average Medicare reimbursement calculated as the weighted average Medicare payment for MRI Interventions’ customers (as of September 2014) for an electrode placement procedure under MS-DRGs 025, 026 and 027. Average private insurance reimbursement calculated as 1.5x Medicare reimbursement, based on published data. Hourly amount assumes 4.5 hour procedure duration. Excludes professional fees. Actual revenues will vary by hospital, procedure and payor.

ClearPoint Drug Delivery

• MR visualization of neuro target

• MR-guided placement of catheter

• Therapeutic agent delivered under MR-guidance*

Specialized drug delivery cannula’s catheters

Drug infusion is visible real time under MRI

Conclusion: The ClearPoint system allows Real-time Convection-enhanced Delivery to be performed with a high level of precision, predictability, and safety.

*CAUTION: SmartFlowTM Cannula is approved for injection of Cytarabine or removal of CSF from the ventricles during intracranial procedures. Uses other than the approved indication are limited by Federal law to investigational use.

MRI’S Unique Opportunity in Drug Delivery

Provides MRIC with “biotech-like upside” without “all or nothing downside”

Major Challenges in Delivering Drugs to the Brain

- Blood brain barrier blocks systemic delivery of almost all drugs – 98% of small molecules

- Direct injection without ClearPoint is blind, so target is frequently missed

- Neopharm Trial - 51% of 572 catheters failed to meet all positioning criteria

Major Benefits of Drug Delivery with ClearPoint

- Neurosurgeon sees that target is reached

- Eliminates the blood brain barrier issue; Reduces/eliminates unwanted systemic side effects; Reduces dosage levels (as little as 1/300th of systemic volumes)

Business Model MRIC Partners with Drug Companies and Researchers

- MRIC provides ClearPoint; Drug company provides drug candidate

- Drug company/sponsor pays for trial

- If drug is approved, MRIC gets device revs (~$7000/case); Drug co gets drug revs

The ClearPoint Difference

Without ClearPoint (Stereotactic)

No direct visualization; Performed in anoperating room

Patient may be awake forown brain surgery(1)

Long procedures – Can be up to 8 hours

Accuracy to target based on prior images

May require OR and MRI for same procedure (laser ablation)

Poor economics for hospital and physician

 

With ClearPoint

Direct, high resolution visualization; Performed in an MRI Suite

Patient may be undergeneralanesthesia(1)

Shorterprocedures Can be 3 hours or less

Highly accurate, based on real time images

One procedure, one place

Attractive economics for hospital and physician

Better for Patients

Better for Surgeons

Better for Hospitals

(1) Microelectrode recording and macrostim are processes that involve listening to neuronal firings (i.e., physiological recordings) and observing physiological responses to stimuli during brain surgery. In connections with our 510(k) clearence in 2010, the FDA requested a warning within Clearpoint’s instructions for Use based on the lack of data with respect to deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures. The warning states that the ClearPoint system, alone, should not be used to guide a DBS lead to a specific brain target and that final placement of DBS leads requires physiological recordings to confirm that they are located in the correct brain target and functioning as intended.
