Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 7, 2011, Hansen Medical, Inc. (the Company) received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) responding to the Companys April 2011
submission of a 510(k) pre-market notification application for its Magellan(TM) Robotic System and NorthStar(TM) Robotic Catheter. The FDAs initial response indicates the 510(k) approach is an appropriate regulatory pathway for the
Companys vascular robotic system and does not include a request for additional clinical testing. The FDAs initial response requests the Company to answer certain questions regarding the application. The Company is continuing to review
the FDAs requests. The timing of the Companys response to the FDA has not been determined; and, therefore the timing of the FDAs evaluation of the Companys response is uncertain.
