The Lawsuit: Acutus is an arrhythmia management company focused on improving the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Acutus's primary product is its AcQMap imaging and mapping system, designed to create a comprehensive map of a patient's cardiac anatomy.

According to a recently filed lawsuit, Acutus initially lent its first-generation AcQMap workstation to users free of charge in order to gain traction in the market. In 2019, Acutus began installing its second generation AcQMap products with potential purchasers under evaluation arrangements.

The suit charges the Company and its senior management with failing to disclose to investors that a significant percentage of the AcQMap systems installed under evaluation had been randomly installed at sites with no consideration as to whether the healthcare providers at the selected locations were likely to develop the need for, and thus purchase, the products. Moreover, the action charges Acutus with failing to provide the necessary education, training, and support to users of the AcQMap.

On November 11, 2021, Acutus announced that it had slashed its 2021 revenue guidance due, in part, to a strategic decision during the third quarter of 2021 to relocate approximately 20% of

AcQMap systems installations under then-existing evaluation arrangements to address meaningfully lower-than-expected product adoption. On this news, the price of Acutus Medical common stock fell 45%, from a closing price of $6.66 on November 11, 2021 to a closing price of $3.64 on November 12.
