NeuroMetrix Announces Broad SENSUS Distribution Agreement with DJO Global

NeuroMetrix, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NURO), a medical device company focused on the treatment and management of the neurological complications of diabetes, today announced a national distribution agreement with DJO Global for the SENSUS™ Pain Management System. SENSUS is a convenient and wearable non-invasive electrical nerve stimulator that offers patients a fast-acting, non-narcotic option for relief from chronic pain. The device is lightweight and can be worn during the day while remaining active, or at night while sleeping. It is optimally designed for people with diabetes that suffer from chronic pain. The most common cause of such pain is painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), which affects up to 5 million people in the U.S. alone.

The Recovery Sciences division of DJO is a leading manufacturer and distributor of electrical stimulation and other orthopedic products used for pain management, orthopedic rehabilitation, physical therapy, fitness and sport performance enhancement. It deploys a direct US sales force. Recovery Sciences will market SENSUS primarily to pain management and podiatry clinics, as well as in endocrinology, internal medicine, primary care and neurology clinics. This agreement follows a SENSUS market pilot conducted in the second half of 2013.

“SENSUS nicely compliments the Recovery Sciences electrotherapy product offerings for pain management”, said Rick Rioles, Senior Vice President, Business Development, Recovery Sciences Division, DJO Global. “We believe that the diabetic pain market represents a growth opportunity for electrotherapy as it addresses important unmet clinical needs. We are impressed by the SENSUS technology and its status as the only transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator cleared for use during sleep. We believe it will have strong appeal in our target markets.”

“DJO Global is a leader in the pain management market. The Recovery Sciences division includes EMPI, which is a long standing premier brand in the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator market. We believe that the national reach, talent, and subject matter expertise of the Recovery Sciences sales force will play a key role in accelerating SENSUS adoption in the US market,” said Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroMetrix. “We believe that this partnership will substantially expand patient access to the clinical benefits of SENSUS pain therapy.”
