## Identity and pasted claims
[Saluda Medical Inc.](https://www.saludamedical.com/ ) is an operating public neuromodulation company, ASX SLD, listed December5 2025. It redomiciled as a Delaware corporation in 2023; Australian origin must not be mistaken for current US legal domicile. Bloomington, Minnesota is current headquarters; Australian office is now Macquarie Park, not historical Artarmon. Company history associates founding with 2013; exact incorporation date remains unverified. [Primary 2023 financing/redomiciliation](https://www.saludamedical.com/press-releases/saluda-medical-announces-150m-equity-financing-led-by-wellington-management-with-fidelity-management-research-company-and-tpg/ ), [current investor site](https://www.saludamedical.com/international/investor-relations/ ).
Pasted Barry Regan CEO is stale. Current official team lists **Mike Mathias** CEO; September7 2026 appointment date appears in [executive’s self-profile](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mathias-59016b8 ) and [secondary report](https://stockwirex.com/asx-stock-news/biotech-health/sld-saluda-medical-ceo-transition-september-2026/ ); exact date should be rechecked against original ASX notice before a date-precise import. Current CEO identity is supported by the official company page. Founder John Parker transitioned to chief scientific officer in 2021 under [official leadership announcement](https://www.saludamedical.com/press-releases/saluda-medical-announces-executive-leadership-changes/ ); do not imply he remains current executive without newer evidence.
Evoke is a real closed-loop spinal-cord stimulation system for pain, not a brain implant. EVA is the sensing/programming technology suite rather than a separate implant. Active status passes but public-company status is missing from paste. The [October6 2026 company product announcement](https://www.newswise.com/articles/saluda-medical-expands-access-to-first-and-only-fda-approved-closed-loop-surgical-paddle-lead-with-full-us-commercial-release-of-cap24 ) concerns CAP24 paddle-lead US commercialization. Pasted USD668M lifetime financing is not supported by a reconciled primary ledger.

No acquisition established. Earlier financing may exist; this partial ledger does not substantiate a lifetime USD668M total. Public market capitalization, sales and research grant funding must not be added to equity rounds.
## Review / import decision
New `SaludaMedical` entity after review; `GoldiSaludaGrade` is unrelated. Import current public status and Mike Mathias; keep Regan, Schuermann and Parker historical. Precise foundation/CEO appointment date and total require follow-up; current official team outranks cached older search excerpts. SHOW MORE
