Profound Medical Corp. a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered, MRI-guided, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive distribution and supply agreement for its TULSA-PRO® and Sonalleve® technologies in Saudi Arabia with Al Faisaliah Medical Systems Co.

Profound Medical Corp.是一家处于商业化阶段的医疗器械公司,致力于开发和销售由人工智能(“AI”)驱动、核磁共振成像(MRI)引导、无需切口的疾病组织消融疗法,该公司欣然宣布已与Al Faisaliah Medical Systems Co.达成其TULSA-PRO®和Sonalleve®技术在沙特阿拉伯的独家分销和供应协议。

(“FMS”), a subsidiary of one of the Kingdom’s most prominent business conglomerates, Al Faisaliah Group (“AFG”)..

“FMS”是沙特阿拉伯王国最著名的商业集团之一阿尔法萨利亚集团(“AFG”)的子公司。

Profound is the only company that combines the real-time imaging and thermography capabilities of magnetic resonance (“MR”) with AI-driven treatment designs to allow physicians to precisely and gently address diseased tissue without any incision, associated tissue boiling or charring, blood loss, severe/prolonged pain, or need for overnight hospital stay..

Profound是唯一一家将磁共振(“MR”)的实时成像和热成像功能与人工智能驱动的治疗设计相结合的公司,使医生能够精确且温和地处理病变组织,且无需任何切口、相关组织沸腾或烧焦、出血、严重/长期疼痛,也无需过夜住院。

U.S. commercialization of TULSA-PRO, designed specifically for the treatment of prostate disease (prostate cancer and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia, “BPH”), remains the top priority for the Company’s direct sales team. The TULSA Procedure™, performed using Profound’s TULSA-PRO system, is a significant advancement in prostate care.

TULSA-PRO 的美国商业化仍然是公司直销团队的首要任务,该产品专为治疗前列腺疾病(前列腺癌和/或良性前列腺增生,“BPH”)而设计。使用 Profound 的 TULSA-PRO 系统进行的 TULSA 手术™ 是前列腺护理领域的重大进步。

Instead of surgery or radiation, the TULSA procedure is performed inside an MRI suite to precisely and gently heat prostate tissue to ‘kill temperature’ (55-57°C) with directional ultrasound, while protecting surrounding nerves and anatomy. By intention-to-treat, while TULSA-PRO has the flexibility to be used for all ablations, including focal and hemi-gland, the majority of TULSA Procedures are either whole-gland or near-whole-gland ablations.

TULSA 手术并非通过外科手术或放疗,而是在核磁共振成像(MRI)室内进行,利用定向超声波将前列腺组织精准且温和地加热至“杀灭温度”(55-57°C),同时保护周围的神经和解剖结构。根据治疗意图,虽然 TULSA-PRO 可灵活用于所有类型的消融,包括局部和半腺体消融,但大多数 TULSA 手术为全腺体或接近全腺体的消融。

In late 2024, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule (“Final Rule”) for the three new CPT® Category 1 codes and their descriptors covering the TULSA procedure, which became effective on January 1, 2025. With the Final Rule, TULSA reimbursement was established at Urology Level 7 Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC).

2024 年底,美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心 (CMS) 发布了其门诊前瞻性支付系统 (OPPS) 的最终规则(“最终规则”),其中涵盖了三个新的 CPT® 第一类代码及其描述符,涉及 TULSA 手术,并于 2025 年 1 月 1 日生效。根据最终规则,TULSA 的报销被设定为泌尿外科第 7 级门诊支付分类 (APC)。

To-date, more than 4,000 men have undergone the TULSA Procedure, and as of last report (October 2025), Profound’s TULSA-PRO installed base stood at 67 systems..

迄今为止,已有4000多名男性接受了TULSA手术,截至上次报告(2025年10月),Profound的TULSA-PRO装机量为67套系统。

Profound’s second product, Sonalleve, which is offered primarily as a one-time capital sale, is also gaining increasing commercial interest, particularly outside of the United States. Sonalleve uses the same MR imaging and thermographic technology as TULSA-PRO, and combines that with focused ultrasound from outside the body to treat disease.

Profound的第二款产品Sonalleve也获得了越来越多的商业关注,主要作为一次性资本销售的产品,尤其是在美国以外的地区。Sonalleve采用了与TULSA-PRO相同的MR成像和热图技术,并结合体外聚焦超声波来治疗疾病。

There are currently ten Sonalleve devices operational in parts of Europe, China and Southeast Asia – where over 4,000 women have already been treated with the technology for adenomyosis and uterine fibroids, diseases of the uterus that can cause chronic pain and heavy and/or prolonged menstruations.

目前,在欧洲、中国和东南亚的部分地区已有十台Sonalleve设备投入使用,通过该技术治疗了4000多名患有子宫腺肌症和子宫肌瘤的女性,这些子宫疾病可能导致慢性疼痛以及月经量多和/或经期延长。

Treatment with Sonalleve has demonstrated pain and symptom relief without affecting the ovarian reserve, and with reports of women preserving their fertility. Sonalleve is also now being used in research and clinical trials in Europe for the ablation of pancreatic cancer tissue and other oncological disease.

Sonalleve治疗已证明可以在不影响卵巢储备的情况下缓解疼痛和症状,并有报告显示女性能够保持生育能力。Sonalleve目前也在欧洲用于胰腺癌组织和其他肿瘤疾病的消融研究和临床试验。

Over the last five years, approximately $10 million has been granted by research organizations in Europe and Canada to further conduct clinical research using Sonalleve for multiple, often life-threatening, diseases..

在过去的五年中,欧洲和加拿大的研究机构大约拨款了1000万美元,用于进一步使用Sonalleve进行多种常危及生命的疾病的临床研究。

As user interest in Profound’s technologies continues to build, the Company is deploying its own direct sales team in North America, while partnering with select strategic distribution partners to support the business potential and the customer base in other parts of the world.

随着用户对Profound技术的兴趣持续增长,该公司正在北美部署自己的直销团队,同时与选定的战略分销合作伙伴合作,以支持世界其他地区的业务潜力和客户群。

“We’re honored to partner for the distribution of both TULSA-PRO and Sonalleve with FMS, one of the leading medical device distributors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” commented Profound’s CEO and Chairman, Arun Menawat. “Successfully marketing and distributing our incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue requires a deep understanding of regional market dynamics and the specific needs of local clinicians and patients.

“我们很荣幸能与沙特阿拉伯王国领先的医疗设备分销商之一FMS合作,负责TULSA-PRO和Sonalleve的分销,”Profound的首席执行官兼董事长Arun Menawat评论道。“成功推广和分销我们无切口的病灶组织消融疗法需要对区域市场动态以及当地临床医生和患者的特定需求有深入的了解。”

With its proven track record in introducing advanced oncological procedures and other medical technologies in the Kingdom, we’re confident that FMS is the ideal partner for us.”.

凭借其在王国引入先进肿瘤手术程序和其他医疗技术的可靠记录,我们相信FMS是我们理想的合作伙伴。

FMS’ GM, Mr. Abdullah Al Melik, said, “As Saudi Arabia moves toward economic diversification under Vision 2030, both FMS and our parent company, AFG, are committed to playing a crucial role in shaping the country’s future. The group is a major provider of equipment and services to existing hospitals, and also actively owns and operates its own specialized medical facilities.

FMS总经理阿卜杜拉·阿尔·梅利克先生表示:“随着沙特阿拉伯在2030愿景下推动经济多元化,FMS及其母公司AFG都致力于在塑造国家未来中发挥关键作用。该集团是现有医院设备和服务的主要供应商,同时积极拥有并运营自己的专业医疗设施。”

With our partnership with Profound, we're extremely excited to bring its unique, incision- and radiation-free ablative technologies to Saudi hospitals and treatment centers that aim to be worldwide leaders in patient outcomes. We look forward to working closely with the Profound team.”.

通过我们与Profound的合作,我们非常兴奋能够将其独特的、无需切口和辐射的消融技术引入沙特阿拉伯的医院和治疗中心,这些机构致力于成为全球患者疗效的领导者。我们期待与Profound团队密切合作。

About Profound Medical Corp.

关于Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets AI-powered, MRI-guided, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.

Profound是一家处于商业化阶段的医疗器械公司,致力于开发和销售由人工智能驱动、核磁共振引导、无需切口的病灶组织消融疗法。

Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a technology that combines real-time MRI, AI-enhanced planning, robotically-driven transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control. The TULSA Procedure™, performed using the TULSA-PRO system, has the potential of becoming a mainstream treatment modality across the entire prostate disease spectrum; ranging from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”); to men with BPH only; and also, to patients requiring salvage therapy for radio-recurrent localized prostate cancer.

Profound公司正在将TULSA-PRO®技术商业化,该技术结合了实时核磁共振成像、人工智能增强规划、机器人驱动的经尿道超声以及闭环温度反馈控制。使用TULSA-PRO系统进行的TULSA手术™有潜力成为覆盖整个前列腺疾病谱的主流治疗方式;包括低、中、高风险的前列腺癌;同时患有前列腺癌和良性前列腺增生(“BPH”)的混合患者;仅患有BPH的男性;以及需要针对放射复发性局部前列腺癌进行补救治疗的患者。

The TULSA Procedure employs real-time MR guidance for precision to preserve patients’ urinary continence and sexual function, while killing the targeted prostate tissue via precise sound absorption technology that gently heats it to 55-57°C. The TULSA Procedure is an incision- and radiation-free “one-and-done” procedure performed in a single session that takes a few hours.

TULSA 手术采用实时磁共振引导,以精确定位来保护患者的尿控能力和性功能,同时通过精确的声音吸收技术杀死目标前列腺组织,将其温和加热至 55-57°C。TULSA 手术是一种无切口、无辐射的“一次性”手术,在单次治疗中完成,耗时数小时。

Virtually all prostate shapes and sizes can be safely, effectively, and efficiently treated with the TULSA Procedure. There is no bleeding associated with the procedure; no hospital stay is required; and most TULSA patients report quick recovery to their normal routine. TULSA-PRO is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the U.S.

几乎所有前列腺形状和大小都可以通过TULSA手术安全、有效且高效地治疗。该手术没有出血,不需要住院,而且大多数TULSA患者报告称能快速恢复到正常生活。TULSA-PRO已获得CE认证、加拿大卫生部批准,并通过了美国FDA的510(k)审查。
