Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. Vital Signs is a podcast series focused on investing, hosted by Senior Health and Biotech journalist Nadine McGrath. In this episode Nadine chats to John McCutcheon, the President and CEO of EBR Systems (ASX:EBR). EBR is focused on its lead technology, the WiSE CRT System, an innovative device designed to overcome the limitations of conventional Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) and is the only leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing (LVEP) device on the market. The company recently received FDA approval for the device in the US, opening the door to a mega market opportunity in one of the worlds largest healthcare markets. Earlier this month, the first two US commercial patients were treated with WiSE ahead of the company's reimbursement milestones, further demonstrating the clinical importance of the device. In this episode McCutcheon explains the significance of the technology, the reimbursement scheme and outlines the next steps for EBR as it prepares for commercial roll out. This podcast was developed in collaboration with EBR Systems, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. The interviews and discussions in this podcast are opinions only and not financial or investment advice.

Funding issues delay City of St. George school district creation bill
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Plans to create a new school district for the City of St. George were delayed after the East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) raised objections, prompting lawmakers to defer the bill. Senate Bills 25 and 234, authored by Sen. Rick Edmonds and Rep. Emily Chenevert, seek to allow St. George to break away and form its own school district. The board said it doesn't oppose voters having a say. However, members worry that the current bills would put 'unfair burdens' on the school system. At the heart of the board's opposition is a $360 million unfunded liability for retiree health and life insurance benefits. The resolution states that SB 234 doesn't clearly explain how to manage this debt if the new district forms. This leaves EBRPSS with all the financial responsibility. The resolution also criticizes a part of SB 234. This part would let students from the new St. George district access EBR magnet programs forever. Board members say this would reduce chances for EBR students. Many magnet programs already have long waiting lists. In the resolution, the board said this bill would lock in an unequal system and take control away from both districts. It passed during a special meeting Monday night. On Tuesday, Edmonds asked the House Education Committee to temporarily defer consideration of SB 234. SB 25, which passed 8-2 in committee, suggests a constitutional change to fund the new district. However, the board wants lawmakers to delay both bills until they amend SB 234 to address their concerns. The resolution tells the board's general counsel to send copies to all members of the East Baton Rouge legislative delegation as the bills go to debate in the House.
