LYON, France, Nov. 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 and provided an update on recent strategic developments.
Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The major milestone in the third quarter was the U.S. FDA marketing clearance for our latest lithotripter, the Sonolith i-move. This was rapidly confirmed by the first U.S. sale of Sonolith i-move to a partnership in the New York Metro area comprised of prestigious and well respected urologists. This is a significant achievement as it exemplifies both our sales team capabilities and the strong interest in the Sonolith i-move's unique features and innovation from the American urologists."
Mr. Oczachowski continued, "The strong third quarter 2011 device sales fueled our top-line growth and narrowed our operating loss. Market acceptance for our best-in-class product lines is continuing to build as we advance our strong and solid device backlog that includes twelve lithotripsy machines and two Ablatherm-HIFU machines now that we have reached the midpoint of the fourth quarter 2011."
Mr. Oczachowski concluded, "Recognition of the focal therapy approach for treating prostate cancer is building acceptance around the world, which clearly represents a strong opportunity for Ablatherm-HIFU adoption and positions our device as a 'must-have' complement to radical surgery. At such recent medical meetings as the European Robotic Urology Symposium and 31st Congress of the Société Internationale d'Urologie, we showcased our device to international urologists. Our clinical validation was augmented by poster presentations including the first results from our U.S. FDA ENLIGHT trials that showed low morbidity at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months post treatment."
Recent Developments
In November 2011, EDAP sold its first Sonolith i-move lithotripter in the United States to Empire Litho, a mobile urological and orthopedic equipment provider that services physicians at six New York City area hospitals. The sale was recorded three months following the receipt of U.S. FDA 510(k) marketing clearance in August 2011.
In October 2011, EDAP received marketing clearance from the Russian Federal Healthcare Department for its Sonolith i-move device. EDAP's revolutionary compact lithotripter received European (CE) approval in April 2010, Japanese approval in September 2011 and U.S. marketing clearance in August 2011.

About EDAP TMS SA
EDAP TMS SA develops and markets Ablatherm®, the most advanced and clinically proven choice for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective treatment option with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment. Approved in Europe as a treatment for prostate cancer, Ablatherm-HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is currently undergoing evaluation in a multi-center U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) granted by the FDA, the ENLIGHT U.S. clinical study. The Company also is developing this technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and commercializes medical equipment (the Sonolith® range) for treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).

Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of the regulatory process, and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.
