("Avinger" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AVGR). Such investors are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/avgr.  

The investigation concerns whether Avinger and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Avinger also stated that it projects its 2016 revenue to be roughly between $19 million to $23 million, compared to its previous guidance estimated between $25 million to $30 million, due in part to lower than anticipated sales of its Pantheris device.
