Zynex Inc. announced a significant leadership transition as Founder and longtime CEO Thomas Sandgaard steps into the role of Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Technology Committee, while Steven Dyson assumes the position of Chief Executive Officer. In a joint conversation with Steve Darling from Proactive, Sandgaard explained that this move marks a strategic evolution for Zynex as it adapts to a dynamic healthcare environment. Sandgaard, who founded the company in 1996 and led it from inception to Nasdaq listing, emphasized that Dyson brings the leadership, experience, and global perspective necessary to take Zynex to the next level. Steven Dyson joins Zynex with more than 25 years of international leadership experience in the medical technology and healthcare sectors.

?? Zynex (NASDAQ: ZYXI) Secures UK Patent for Non-Invasive Sepsis Monitoring Technology ?? Zynex Monitoring Solutions has been awarded a UK patent for its groundbreaking multiparameter, non-invasive sepsis monitor — a device designed to help clinicians detect sepsis earlier by continuously tracking multiple vital signs. ?? Sepsis affects over 1.7 million people annually in the U.S. and is responsible for 1 in 3 hospital deaths. ?? Early detection remains one of the biggest challenges in treating this life-threatening condition. ?? Zynex’s technology supports global efforts like the Surviving Sepsis Campaign to reduce sepsis-related mortality. CEO Thomas Sandgaard stated: “Sepsis is a global health crisis. This technology has the potential to drastically reduce deaths by delivering real-time, non-invasive data to clinicians.” Donald Gregg, President of Zynex Monitoring Solutions, added: “We believe we can significantly contribute to earlier detection and better outcomes.” Zynex continues to lead innovation in critical care monitoring with a focus on improving patient lives.

?? Major update from Zynex Monitoring Solutions (NASDAQ: ZYXI): The company has officially submitted its NiCO? non-invasive CO-Oximeter to the FDA for clearance. ?? Why this matters: NiCO? is a breakthrough medical device designed to address long-standing flaws in traditional pulse oximeters. It uses proprietary laser technology—rather than outdated LEDs—to provide accurate oxygen readings across all skin tones, even with nail polish. Critically, it also detects carbon monoxide poisoning non-invasively and instantly, a capability that existing devices lack. ??? CEO Thomas Sandgaard explained: “This device can make a very significant and very meaningful difference... It provides instant information, even in cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, and reads accurately regardless of dark skin or even nail polish.” ?? Traditional pulse oximeters have seen little innovation in decades and have shown major blind spots—especially for patients with darker skin, as highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. NiCO? aims to solve that, offering hospitals and clinicians more reliable, equitable data. ?? The initial target market is hospitals—part of a $1B+ global opportunity—but the broader implications for patient care and health equity are even more far-reaching. ??? Zynex expects a response from the FDA in approximately 6 months and is preparing for commercial launch shortly thereafter. ??

Big News from Zynex Monitoring Solutions! Zynex has officially submitted its FDA 510(k) application for the NiCO? laser-based pulse oximeter — a next-gen innovation that could redefine accuracy in oxygen monitoring. ?? Unlike traditional red-infrared tech, NiCO? uses laser light to potentially detect oxygen saturation and pulse rate more reliably — especially in patients with poor circulation, dark skin pigmentation, or low perfusion. Why does this matter? ?? Lives depend on precision. ?? Millions of patients are monitored daily with oximeters. ?? Greater accuracy = better outcomes in critical care, surgery, and recovery. This marks a bold step forward in Zynex’s commitment to patient-first innovation. ?? Zynex is not just treating pain — they are pushing boundaries in non-invasive monitoring. ?? Stay tuned as we await feedback from the FDA. If cleared, NiCO? could become a game-changer in clinical settings across the country.

Just Getting Started: Thomas Sandgaard’s 29-Year Climb with Zynex Medical. By the time Thomas Sandgaard landed in the U.S., he’d already helped develop the world’s first in-ear hearing aid, negotiated internationally for Philips, and led global sales teams at ITT. But none of that prepared him for starting over in the U.S., broke, renting a room, and commuting in a $1,000 Ford Probe—betting everything on a medical device startup with no safety net. Zynex Inc. began with nothing but Sandgaard’s conviction and his refusal to quit. What started as a solo effort—traveling cross-country to pitch clinics and distributors himself—has grown into a publicly traded company with nearly 1,200 employees. Its FDA-cleared electrotherapy and monitoring devices help patients manage pain, recover from strokes, and track vital signs, often as alternatives to addictive opioids. Sandgaard’s resilience wasn’t forged in Silicon Valley—it came from decades of reinvention. He was a teen inventor, a track star, a guitarist, a recording engineer, and later a rising executive across Europe’s tech and telecom giants. But it was his decision to uproot and bootstrap a business in the U.S. that pushed him to the brink—and ultimately, toward a breakthrough. For more than 20 years, he stayed personally bankrupt, often a step away from missing payroll. “I had to learn to become an entrepreneur,” he said. “I’d never even flown coach before.” In Zynex’s early years, he did it all—pitching clinics, setting up distributors, and navigating every rejection himself. When a partner backed out, he began designing Zynex’s devices in-house. When he finally hired a sales team, he made sure their incentives aligned with long-term success, not short-term deals. Today, nearly all of Zynex’s products are internally developed and FDA-cleared, and the company has scaled profitably. Now in its 29th year, Zynex reflects Sandgaard’s conviction, strategy, and sense of purpose. And despite everything he’s built—nearly three decades of growth, a Nasdaq listing, and a philanthropic foundation—he still says, “I’m just getting started.” That forward drive fuels his other ventures, too. At The Sandgaard Foundation, he’s helped distribute over a million doses of Narcan and naloxone and funded recovery efforts across the country. The Foundation also produced Junction, a feature film aimed at raising awareness about the opioid crisis. Through Sandgaard Capital, his family office, he invests in alternative assets and emerging businesses. And when he’s not working, he’s still playing lead guitar—sharing a stage with Robert Mason of Warrant and Rich Ross of the Freddy Jones Band. Legacy, he says, isn’t on his mind. “For some people in my position, legacy is a big thing. But I’ll think about it tomorrow.”
