Anticipated Operational and Commercial Milestones

• Generate first-ever commercial sales of the DeepView System by year end 2026:
  • United States: Phase II of our contract with BARDA includes funding for the procurement of up to 30 DeepView System devices in burn centers and level one trauma centers and emergency departments across the United States.   
  • International: We anticipate initial sales in the UK, Australia or the Gulf Cooperation Council nations by the fourth quarter of 2026 following an update to our UKCA authorization (initially obtained in 2024) to reflect the characteristics of the DeepView System as cleared by the FDA.
• Continue to strengthen executive and sales team by filling key positions to support the commercial roll out of the DeepView System.

About the DeepView System
Spectral AI's DeepView System is a non-invasive, predictive medical device which combines multispectral imaging with a proprietary AI algorithm to assess the healing potential of areas within the burn wounds. The DeepView System provides clinicians with an immediate, data-driven assessment of whether areas within burn wounds are unlikely to heal within 21 days and may require significant medical intervention, enabling earlier and more informed treatment decisions.   The image acquisition takes 0.2 seconds, and all image processing and AI model classification takes approximately 20 to 25 seconds. The DeepView System is trained and tested against a proprietary and clinically validated database of over 340 billion pixels of burn wound image data.
