Investors investigation regarding Acutus’ statements about installations of its AcQMap systems in various sites, necessary infrastructure and subsequent strategic plan to terminate and relocate portions of its systems.
11/12/2021
Acutus Medical discloses its Q3 2021 financial results with an “installed base of 71 AcQMap mapping consoles” while “several consoles were repositioned to different hospitals to drive higher utilization rates and procedure volumes.”
During the conference call, executives disclosed that Acutus “made the strategic decision to remove and reposition certain systems with below target utilization” since it was “looking to optimize console placement” and “targeting the right accounts.” Burgess also revealed that they “might have missed the boat in terms of physician profiling.“

This is a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of Acutus common stock between May 13, 2021 and November 11, 2021, inclusive.
According to the complaint, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants allegedly failed to disclose to investors:
(a) that a material percentage of the AcQMap systems under evaluation had been randomly installed at sites with little, if any, consideration given to whether the healthcare providers at the selected locations were likely to adopt, or desire, the company’s products;
(b) that a material percentage of the AcQMap systems under evaluation had been installed in locations where the company did not possess the infrastructure necessary to appropriately educate, train and support medical service providers on the system’s operations;
(c) that as a result of (a) and (b) above, defendants were in the process of designing a strategic plan to terminate and relocate approximately 20% of then-existing AcQMap systems evaluation arrangements;
(d) that the company’s MD&A was materially false and misleading and failed to disclose that the termination and relocation of approximately 20% of existing AcQMap systems evaluation arrangements was reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 2021 financial results; and
(e) that the company’s risk factor discussions were materially false and misleading and made reference to potential risks without disclosing that such risks were then-existing or adequately describing the specific nature of the risks then facing the company.
