Palo Alto, Calif. – September 18, 2023 – Recor Medical, Inc. (“Recor”) and its parent company, Otsuka Medical Devices Co., Ltd. (“Otsuka Medical Devices”) today announced the launch of Recor’s refreshed brand identity. Recor is preparing for its anticipated premarket application (PMA) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of its Paradise™ Ultrasound Renal Denervation (RDN) system.
The new look is an enlivened interpretation of the brand’s legacy, evolving the company logo, color palette and design elements to reflect a significant step forward. The Recor brand’s bold updated logo and warm colors make a strong statement, projecting the company’s confidence and vigor as a new stage in the business takes shape. Today’s brand unveiling also included refreshed social media visuals; the update will extend to a new website and other assets in the coming months.
“Recor’s story is one of unbridled enthusiasm, commitment and perseverance toward our goal as we achieved CE-mark and now approach PMA approval. Our journey has led us to an evolution of our brand that reflects what makes us unique and our goal to address significant unmet needs for patients worldwide,” said Lara Barghout, President and Chief Executive Officer, Recor Medical. “Our team has developed branding that visually represents who we are, where we are headed, and the higher standard to which we’ve always held ourselves. We look forward to sharing our new brand as we embark on our next chapter of growth.”
In August, the FDA Circulatory Systems Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee reviewed clinical trial data and voted favorably on the safety, efficacy, and benefit-to-risk profile of the Paradise Ultrasound RDN system. Hypertension puts people at risk for heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the U.S.[1]
