TimesSquare Capital made the following comment about Outset Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:OM) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Elsewhere, we exited our position in Outset Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:OM), a developer of a self-contained, low-cost dialysis machine. Late in the second quarter, we reduced our holdings following the news the FDA temporarily halted shipments and requested more human factors studies on its Tablo device for home use after the company made minor modifications to it. This quarter, the FDA reversed course and allowed Outset to resume sales of Tablo. Outset subsequently reissued its guidance, though expected lower growth rates while it rebuilt the sales group for home sales, and hospitals tightened their capital budgets. That led us to sell our remaining holdings.”
