Mr. Thomas Sandgaard Chief Executive Officer Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. 8022 Southpart Circle, Suite 100 Littleton, CO 80210 Re: Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 Filed April 16, 2008 File No. 33-26787-A Dear Mr. Sandgaard:

We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. We have limited our review to only your financial statements and related disclosures and will make no further review of your documents. Where indicated, we think you should revise future filings in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

Mr. Thomas Sandgaard Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. July 1, 2008 Page 2 Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, page 14

Results of Operations, page 14

1. We note from page 10 that 65% of your revenue is derived from rental income and 35% of your revenue is derived from net sales. We further note that the increase in net sales and rental income from 2006 to 2007 was 215%. In order to enhance investor’s understanding of your results of operations, pl ease revise your discussion of your revenue in future filings to separately describe the impact of changes in rental income and net sales on your total revenue. In this regard, discuss any trends with respect to the different revenue streams. For example, if rental income is increasing while net sales of products are remaining constant, that fact should be disclosed. Item 8A(T). Controls and Procedures, page 25

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 25

2. You state here that management concluded that the Company has a material weakness in its ability to produce financial statements free from material misstatements. Please tell us and revise future filings as necessary to discuss how you have compensated for the material weakness in order to ensure that the financial statements presented here in the Form 10-KSB are free from material misstatement. Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-3

3. We note your disclosure on page 15 that depreciation on your rental equipment is not included in cost of goods sold. Please tell us why you believe it is appropriate to exclude the depreciation on the devices generating rental income from your cost of goods sold. In this regard, please also tell us how your current presentation of cost of sales and rentals and gross profit excluding depreciation complies with SAB Topic 11B. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-4

4. We note that you present a reconciling item for provision for losses in accounts receivable of $4.8 million for 2007. It appears that this primarily relates to reserves recorded on gross accounts receivable relating to negotiated rates with insurance companies and government agencies and not the actual amount of charges recorded on the statements of operations for provisions for losses in accounts receivable. Please tell us why you believe your current presentation is meaningful to the financial statement users. Revise future filings to separately present amounts representing charges recorded to the statements of operations for losses in accounts receivable.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page F-7

Mr. Thomas Sandgaard Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. July 1, 2008 Page 3 5. We note from your statements of stockholders’ equity and from Note 3 that you have issued warrants to non-employees. Please revise this footnote in future filings to disclose your accounting policy for stock issued to non-employees. Refer to SFAS 123R and EITF 96-18.

Revenue recognition, page F-7

6. We note that you generate revenue from two distinct revenue streams – sales of products and rental of products. Please tell us and revise future filings to separately disclose your revenue recognition policies for sales of products and rentals of products, identifying those events that would indicate that each criterion outlined in SAB Topic 13A has been met.
