Cambridge Heart Inc. (OTC:CAMH) plans to bring its HearTwave II Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) test for sudden cardiac arrest to Singapore through an exclusive distribution deal with EO Medical Pte Ltd.
The deal hinges on the MTWA device winning regulatory approval in Singapore, which the Tewksbury, Mass.-based company expects within the next 6 to 9 months.
The company also expanded its international scope through a distribution deal with Mayerick S.A. de S.V. to distribute the MWTA system in Mexico earlier this month.
The company also landed a much-needed U.S. reimbursement win for its MTWA test for sudden cardiac arrest in June, good news for the company following a rough start to the year.
In April, Cambridge Heart warned that it didn’t have enough cash to stay afloat past the end of the year and registered for a stock offering worth more than $7.8 million. The company plans to sell nearly 30.2 million shares for 26 cents apiece, according to the filing.
Here’s a roundup of companies announcing new distribution deals and other joint ventures.
