Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and the Company may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Such claims may include claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, claims concerning the marketing and promotion of the Company’s products and product liability claims. The Company is involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our Helium Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within the Company’s control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. Management believes that such claims are adequately covered by insurance; however, in the case of one of the Company’s carriers, the Company is in a dispute regarding the total level of coverage available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of the Company’s policies or if its insurance carriers disclaim coverage, management believes it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company accrues a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates. During 2022, the Company was notified of certain procedures alleged to have been performed by the same physician and which are currently the subject of two related products liability cases within the courts. During 2023, the Company was notified by its insurance carriers that all or most of the ten individual plaintiff’s allegations could be subject to separate deductibles notwithstanding the commonality of each underlying occurrence. During March 2024, two of the plaintiffs claims were dismissed by the courts. The Company has determined that a loss, comprised of estimated costs to defend the Company against the lawsuits, is probable and that the range of estimated losses is approximately $1,450,000 to $1,950,000. The Company recorded an estimated loss of $1,450,000 related to the matters during 2022. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in the actual amount of loss will occur in the near term, though management expects the actual amount of loss will be within the estimated range of losses. During March 2024, the Company was named as a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits filed under the direction of a single plaintiff’s tort firm in connection with off-label use of Renuvion products and the Company’s alleged mismarketing of the same. The suits are based predominantly in Florida and nearly all involve procedures conducted prior to 2023, which was before the Company received FDA 510k clearance for the use of Renuvion in the types of procedures at issue. The Company denies liability and intends vigorously to defend these suits and believes that it has applicable substantive and procedural defenses. The Company has determined that a loss, comprised of estimated costs to defend the Company against the lawsuits, is probable and currently estimates the range of losses in connection with these matters to be between $1,300,000 and $1,500,000. The Company recorded an estimated loss of $1,300,000 related to these matters during 2023. The Company has also determined that there is a reasonable possibility that there will be an additional loss related to the matters, but the Company is unable to provide an estimate of the range of such additional loss at this time. Purchase Commitments At March 31, 2024, the Company had purchase commitments totaling approximately $2.7 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased within the next twelve months.
