PhotoFix Distribution Agreement And Acquisition [Abstract] |
PhotoFix Distribution Agreement And Acquisition | 7. PhotoFix Distribution Agreement and Acquisition Overview ﻿ In 2014 CryoLife entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Genesee Biomedical, Inc. (“GBI”) to acquire the distribution rights to PhotoFix , a bovine pericardial patch stabilized using a dye-mediated photo-fixation process that requires no glutaraldehyde. PhotoFix has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k) clearance and is indicated for use in intracardiac repair, including ventricular repair and atrial repair, great vessel repair and suture line buttressing, and pericardial closure. We believe that PhotoFix fits well into our product portfolio of medical devices for cardiac surgery. In January 2015 we received our initial shipments and launched our distribution of PhotoFix. ﻿ The agreement between CryoLife and GBI (the “GBI Agreement”) had an initial five-year term and was renewable for two one-year periods at CryoLife’s option. Under the terms of the GBI Agreement, we began purchasing PhotoFix inventory for resale at an agreed upon transfer price and had the option, which became effective in March 2015, to acquire the PhotoFix product line from GBI. ﻿ Accounting for the Transaction ﻿ On April 13, 2016 we exercised our right to acquire the PhotoFix technology from GBI for approximately $2.3 million, of which $1.2 million was paid in cash at closing, approximately $600,000 was previously provided to GBI as an advance under the distribution agreement, and approximately $400,000 was paid to GBI in October 2017. Our allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values, resulted in the allocation of the majority of the purchase price to amortizable intangible assets. We began limited manufacturing of PhotoFix in the fourth quarter of 2017. GBI will continue to manufacture PhotoFix until we are able to fully establish manufacturing operations, which is expected to occur in 2018. ﻿
