Release-over-release change

Kairos Surgical Inc's CMS-reported General Payments decreased by $18.0K (−23.3%) from PY2023 to PY2024.
How this year-over-year comparison is scoped
The comparison uses consecutive CMS program years only (current = prior + 1) from the manufacturer General Payments summary and excludes research and ownership or investment records. Non-consecutive year pairs are not shown as year-over-year change. This General Payments figure is not the all-tracks company total in the hero.
CMS source labels for this exact identifier: PY2022: KAIROS SURGICAL INCPY2023: KAIROS SURGICAL INCPY2024: Kairos Surgical Inc. Matching identifiers support a bounded record comparison; a label difference would be reported as unresolved rather than treated as a corporate event.

What the Data Shows for Kairos Surgical Inc
The all-tracks total above combines three CMS reporting categories - General Payments, Research Payments, and Ownership/Investment interests - not one undifferentiated figure. For Kairos Surgical Inc that figure is drawn almost entirely from the General Payments track (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees). CMS publishes each Program Year's data roughly 12 months after the reporting period ends, so this reflects the most recently released cycle; see our methodology for how the tracks are standardized and compared across companies.
96 transactions worth $31.7K make "Travel and Lodging" the top general-payment category in the 2-category breakdown below, 53.2% of General Payments (see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately).
