"To have our Magellan Robotic System installed in multiple prestigiouscenters only four months after receiving U.S. clearance is asignificant accomplishment for the Company," said Bruce Barclay,Hansen Medical's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believeour recently initiated limited commercial evaluation program willhelp accelerate the ramp of clinical cases, allowing us to closesystem sales more efficiently, and further grow our pipeline ofpotential transactions. Our improved procedure rate in the thirdquarter, driven primarily by our base electrophysiology business, isindicative of the significant value we believe physicians andhospitals can derive from our systems."

"Additionally, our recent agreement with Intuitive Surgical is asignificant validation of our technology from the global pioneer andleader in medical robotics. Importantly, the capital received as partof this agreement will further strengthen our balance sheet, with asignificant portion of the new capital being non-dilutive to ourcurrent shareholders. In fact, in the last few years, we have broughtin more than 80 million of new, non-dilutive capital. Given ourstrategic focus on intravascular robotics, a large and growing marketwith a significant unmet clinical need, this capital will furthersupport our product development efforts and global launch of theMagellan(TM) Robotic System."

Mr. Barclay continued, "In recent weeks, both Dr. John Laird of theUC Davis Medical Center and Professor Nick Cheshire of St Mary'sHospital, of Imperial College London, presented their experienceswith the Magellan system at the VIVA conference, and Dr. Katzenpresented two live case demonstrations to attendees at TCT. Thesewere valuable opportunities to highlight the benefits of our Magellansystem by key opinion leaders at large conferences and we lookforward to further highlighting our technology with our significantpresence at the VEITHsymposium next week in New York City, and theISET 25 conference in January in Miami."

Commenting on his live case presentations at TCT, Dr. Katzen noted,"We were excited to present two live cases at TCT using the Magellansystem. This technology has the potential to significantly enhanceendovascular procedures. We view the Magellan system as an importantpotential strategic investment that can help enhance and grow ourpractice by improving procedure predictability and utilization, whilepossibly lowering radiation exposure."

Hansen Medical's new limited commercial evaluation program allowscertain strategic accounts to install and utilize its systems for atrial period while the purchase contract is being evaluated by thehospital. Hospitals participating in the commercial evaluationprogram are not obligated to purchase the system upon completion ofthe trial period, however, participating hospitals must purchase thecatheters used in the evaluation process.

2012 Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 5.1million compared to revenue of 5.4 million in the same period in2011. During the third quarter, the Company shipped five systems(four Magellan systems and one Sensei system) and recognized revenueon five systems (one Magellan system and four Sensei systems), aswell as shipment of 689 catheters. Catheter sales were down 1.3%compared to the third quarter of 2011 and down 2.1% sequentially.Further, an estimated 659 Hansen robotic procedures were performed inthe period, an increase of 9.3% compared to the same quarter of theprior year, and up 3.5% sequentially. As of September 30, 2012, theCompany had a total deferred revenue balance of 2.9 million, all ofwhich is related to deferred revenue on service contracts.

Cost of revenues for the third quarter was 3.8 million. As a result,gross profit for the quarter was 1.3 million, or 24.6% of revenue,compared to gross profit of 1.1 million, or 20.2% of revenue for thesame period in 2011. The increase in gross profit in the currentquarter is primarily the result of improved productivity, whichlowered the cost of products sold.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter were 3.8million, compared to 3.5 million for the same period in 2011. The2011 amount included 2.1 million of funded research and developmentcredits (recorded as a reduction of expense) from our now completedwork under our joint development agreement with Philips. Excludingthese research and development credits in the third quarter of 2011,prior year research and development expenses were higher primarilydue to additional development costs associated with the Company'sMagellan System and higher employee related costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarterwere 5.1 million, compared to 7.6 million for the same period of2011. The net decrease in the current quarter is primarily due to a1.5 million insurance reimbursement received in the third quarter or2012 related to prior litigation costs in addition to lower non-cashstock compensation and employee-related expenses.

Net loss for the third quarter was 8.4 million, or 0.14 loss pershare, based on average shares outstanding of 61.5 million. Thiscompares with a net loss for the third quarter of 2011 of 10.1million or 0.18 per share, based on average shares outstanding of55.1 million. Net loss for the third quarter of 2012 included totalnon-cash stock compensation expenses of 1.0 million compared to 1.8million in the third quarter of 2011. The reduction is primarily theresult of lower equity awards in the quarter compared to the prioryear.

Cash burn in the quarter improved to 7.8 million compared to 9.1million in the second quarter of 2012. The current quarter cash burnwas positively impacted by the receipt of a 1.5 million insurancereimbursement. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments asof September 30, 2012 were 21.6 million, compared to 29.4 millionas of June 30, 2012, and 52.2 million as of December 31, 2011.
