HeartBeam, Inc. (BEAT), Breaks Hearts. FDA Says, NAH.

February 13th, 2025: HeartBeam Announces Pricing of $10.0 Million Underwritten Public Offering of Common Stock @ $1.70. MDB Capital acted as the underwriter for the offering and Paulson Investment Company LLC participated as a selected dealer.

We’ve been following this from the sidelines since then went public. We loved the product, a wearble heart monitor, the first-ever cable-free device capable of collecting ECG signals. Physicians would be able to identify cardiac health trends and acute conditions and direct patients to the appropriate care – all outside of a medical facility, thus redefining the future of cardiac health management. 

We met management, very nice and very smart crew.

On November 11th in a press release:

  • HeartBeam is engaging in productive discussions with the FDA and is in the final stage of FDA review for the 510(k) submission of the 12-lead ECG synthesis software in arrhythmia assessment, a major inflection point for the Company.
  • The timeline for FDA clearance remains firmly on track and is expected by the end of the year.

“In the third quarter, we made significant progress with commercial readiness plans in anticipation of FDA clearance for the 12-lead ECG synthesis software submission for arrhythmia assessment,” said Robert Eno, Chief Executive Officer, HeartBeam. “We continue to engage in positive and productive discussions with the FDA and our anticipated timeline for this clearance by year end remains intact

Then in an 8K (as in no press release), nine days later:

  • On November 20, 2025, HeartBeam, Inc. (the “Company”) received a Not Substantially Equivalent (NSE) letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) related to the Company’s 510(k) application for its 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Synthesis Software.
  • The Company stands behind its clinical data and will be working with the FDA to come to a resolution.

Damn..that sucks.
