Allegations of False & Misleading Statements in IPO documents
Avinger designs, manufactures, and sells medical devices used to treat patients with peripheral arterial disease. The Company focuses on introducing products based on its lumivascular platform, which is an intravascular image-guided system.
The class action complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed for the Company’s Initial Public Offering contained materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
(1) Avinger did not have adequate sales and marketing personnel to increase sales of its lumivascular platform products and to commercialize Pantheris;
(2) the Company already experienced problems with the robustness of its lumivascular platform devices, including Pantheris;
(3) physicians and hospitals were requiring more extensive and comprehensive training and education on the benefits of Avinger’s products to convince them to adopt and implement its lumivascular platform products compared to competing products and procedures available in the market;
(4) Avinger would not be able to achieve a rapid ramp rate for increased sales of its lumivascular platform; and
(5) as a result, the Company was experiencing lower sales and revenues.
