$30 Million Series B Financing and Expansion of Scientific Advisory Board

Ablacon, Inc., an Ajax Health-backed company, announced the close of a $30 million Series B financing, with Zeus Health joining as new lead investor.  Ablacon also announced the addition of Dr. David Haines, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and Director of the Heart Rhythm Center at Beaumont Health, Royal Oak, MI, to the company’s scientific advisory board (SAB).

Ablacon plans to use the new funds to advance the company’s product portfolio and continue expanding patient access to the CE Marked Ablamap® system.  Dr. Haines will join the rest of the Ablacon all-star SAB to work with the company to map out a clinical research strategy to methodically demonstrate the promise of using Electrographic Flow and Ablamap to improve patient care in atrial fibrillation (AF).

“I’m thrilled to have Zeus Health join Ablacon as we work to bring this game changing technology to market,” says Duke Rohlen, Ablacon CEO and healthcare industry veteran.  “I welcome Dr. Haines to the team – he is a true innovator in the field of electrophysiology and we are excited to have him join the other thought-leaders on our world-class scientific advisory board.”  The Ablacon SAB also includes Hugh Calkins, MD; John Hummel, MD; Vivek Reddy, MD; and Atul Verma, MD.

“When I was introduced to Ablacon’s Electrographic Flow technology, I was impressed by its novel approach and exciting results,” says Haines.  “The technology brings together many of the theories and concepts in the field of electrophysiology and transforms them into an actual product that is intuitive and actionable.  I’m looking forward to using the system with my patients when the technology comes to the United States in 2021.”
