Ceryx Medical is a medical technological entity that is developing bioelectronics based on a unique, patent-protected, chip technology that can mimic nerve centres within the body called Central Pattern Generators (CPGs). CPGs help to control a range of autonomic or rhythmical processes within the body such as peristalsis, heart rate, and even walking. The Ceryx system resembles a traditional cardiac pacing device that holds a lot of promise in potentially alleviating incidences of heart failure leading to a therapeutic effect on patient health. In the UK, this is a day surgery procedure under local anaesthetic with a basic system costing around £3500. The device, therefore, offers a cost-effective, single procedure solution for this currently intractable disease. Treatment expenditures on heart failure cases in the EU amount to almost £35 billion. The Ceryx system is a potential disruptor in this segment and offers multiple potential applications. The company is targeting £500,000 as part of £1 million round. With the investment, the company aims to produce a data package that mimics those used to support 510k/NDA applications, as mandated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for current devices and drugs used to treat heart failure.
