Microbot Medical Commends American Medical Association's Expanding Efforts To Protect Health Care Professionals From Ionizing Radiation

Microbot Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:MBOT), developer and distributor of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, commends the American Medical Association's (AMA) expanding efforts to protect health care professionals from ionizing radiation. In late 2025, the AMA adopted a new policy to strengthen protections for health care professionals and trainees who may face occupational radiation exposure. The policy emphasizes the importance of continued research into the health effects of cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation, the effectiveness of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and education and training to minimize occupational risk to physicians and to their patients.

Microbot believes that this guidance underscores the growing need for solutions that enhance safety in interventional procedures, creating meaningful opportunities for technologies like LIBERTY. The LIBERTY System is remotely operated, enabling physicians and staff to perform procedures away from the radiation source. In the ACCESS-PVI Study, using LIBERTY demonstrated a 92% relative reduction in radiation exposure.

Prolonged exposure to radiation often has long-term effects that can lead to a host of health issues, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, reproductive health effects, and cataracts. This risk has also been cited as contributing to the staffing shortage in the endovascular space, and especially in interventional radiology, which currently ranks number two among specialties with highest physician shortages. It disproportionately affects women, who often cite radiation exposure and the physical demands of wearing lead aprons as barriers to entering or advancing in the field. The LIBERTY System's wireless operated capabilities allow healthcare providers to position themselves away from the radiation source and operate in a seated position, reducing reliance on heavy PPE, thereby lessening musculoskeletal strain.
