ProUroCare Names Consultant to Head New Technology and Product Development Activities

ProUroCare Medical Inc., (OTCQB: PUMD), a provider of proprietary medical imaging products, announced today it has appointed Stan Myrum a consultant to lead its technology and product development efforts. This consulting activity follows the successful raise of more than $700,000 in new equity capital intended to help the company advance towards active commercialization.

In this new role, Myrum will manage all design and manufacturing functions required to move the recently FDA-approved ProUroScan™ prostate mechanical imaging (PMI) system to commercialization. Specifically, he will assist with efforts to finalize the multiple-use sensor probe that will comply with new FDA guidance on cleaning and disinfecting of reusable medical devices. He will also collaborate with the company’s development partners to implement design and monitoring of good manufacturing practices (GMP), which are critical for companies marketing a medical device.

Myrum is a 31-year veteran of Medtronic Inc., having filled numerous executive and operational roles for its U.S. and international operations. Most recently, he was vice president of quality and operations for Medtronic’s Cardiac Rhythm Disease management business unit. He’s conducted or overseen numerous due diligence assessments throughout his career, experience that will be invaluable as ProUroCare interacts with potential strategic partner organizations capable of providing sales and in-service support within the urologic market.

“We are very excited to have Stan join our team as we transition out of the pre-FDA approval phases of our product’s development and prepare for sales and marketing of the system. His work will be essential in our efforts to establish the ProUroScan as a routine tool that urologists will use to augment their current screening tools,” said Rick Carlson, CEO of ProUroCare.
