“NexOptic“a company developing cutting-edge AI and imaging technologies, announces that it is nearing the point of first revenue. NexOptic Technology Corp and Pristine Surgical LLC are in an exclusive SaaS model partnership whereby NexOptic’s artificial intelligence (AI) powered imaging technology is licensed for use into Pristine’s single-use endoscopic visualization platform called Summit. Summit is a single-use surgical arthroscope designed to make more efficient, consistent, and safe endoscopy. NexOptic’s ALIIS provides an important AI image enhancement to optimize the surgeon’s 4K surgical view. Summit is delivered in single-use, sterile packaging, is simple to set up, improves predictability and workflow, and its transparent pricing model reduces costs for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Summit also includes a proprietary cloud-based software – Pristine Connect allowing for seamless video capture, automated inventory management, and a growing portfolio of value-added services.

Pristine Surgical received its FDA 510(k) c******** for Summit, the world’s first 4K single-use surgical arthroscope in January 2023, completed its first in human procedure in April 2023 and began its limited market release in the United States shortly thereafter.
Strength of revenue from NexOptic’s perspective will be predicated upon the number of surgical centers that incorporate Summit into their surgical procedures.
Pristine Surgical anticipates expanding into a broader portfolio of rigid and flexible endoscopes, totaling 125 million procedures worldwide each year.
Initial licensing revenues to NexOptic are dependent on the success of Pristine Surgical’s sales of Summit. There can be no assurances of commercial success or profitable operations.
NexOptic also wishes to report that it continues to expand its US patent protected portfolio specific to ALIIS and NexCompress by taking necessary steps to expand its intellectual property protections into other key global jurisdictions.

Concurrently with this determination.
