Brainsway Provides Commercialization Progress Update


JERUSALEM, July 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brainsway Ltd. (TASE:BRIN) ("Brainsway" or the "Company") announced today that, further to its press release of May 1, 2013, there are now approximately 50 Deep TMS systems in various stages of installation, implementation and customer training. Brainsway also advised that, based on the current number of new system orders outstanding and the continuing strong interest shown by psychiatrists, clinics and medical centers, the Company estimates that it will complete the installation and customer implementation of approximately 100 Deep TMS systems for commercial use by the end of 2013.

In January 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved Brainsway's proprietary Deep TMS device for the treatment of depression in patients who have failed to respond to antidepressant medications in their current episode of depression. This approval represented a major breakthrough for the Company, providing it with access to the U.S. market for depression therapy, which is valued at tens of billions of dollars per year.

"The official marketing launch of Deep TMS at the American Psychiatric Association ("APA") 2013 Annual Meeting in May was a tremendous success," commented Brainsway's CEO, Uzi Sofer. "Now, in the months since APA, we have seen doctor awareness of and interest in this groundbreaking technology continue to gain momentum. We are looking forward to providing stakeholders with further commercialization updates as the launch of Deep TMS progresses."
