ELMSFORD, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NanoVibronix, Inc., (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical device company that produces the PainShield® Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Portable Ultra Sonic therapeutic device, today provided a business update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
"This has been a productive and important quarter for NanoVibronix, positioning us for accelerating growth in 2020 and beyond," commented Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix. "In the past few quarters, we have significantly expanded our manufacturing capabilities, growing capacity from approximately 100 per month to, initially, over 1,000 per month with the ability to grow. Simultaneously, we have broadened our distribution channels, adding key partners to directly target key potential customers, including the Federal Supply Schedule and CMS/Medicare, and we are making progress in our efforts to target the Veterans Administration and European customers through private label arrangements. We believe that we have the optimal team in place to deliver. We enter the fourth quarter in the best strategic position in our company's history, and I am excited about the opportunities in front of us."
Mr. Murphy continued, "Our new Chinese manufacturer has finished first products on November 15th, and should have 3,000 units completed by early January. Our current pipeline, including back orders, and fulfilling our first private label order, will consume the majority of our initial production. Our new licensing arrangement with Medisana is progressing as planned, and this manufacturing capability enables us to support Medisana's growth. Other potential partners are in various stages of discover, clinical testing, and market testing, which we feel very comfortable about."
