Share via

Reflecting a severe drop in sales, Cytocare Inc. said Wednesday that it lost $5.1 million last year, more than double its 1989 loss of $2.1 million.

The company primarily tied the loss to its Medstone International subsidiary’s November decision to suspend efforts to obtain federal approval to market lithotripter machines for treating gallstones with shock waves.

The company continues to market the device as a non-surgical alternative to removing kidney stones.
