Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-I
Filed July 25, 2016
File No. 333-211647
Dear Mr. Mancuso and Ms. Percival:
We hereby submit
the responses of MRI Interventions, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation
Finance (the “Staff”) contained in your letter, dated July 28, 2016, to Harold A. Hurwitz, the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed on the first date above (the “Amendment
No. 3”), which amended the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on May 26, 2016, as amended on July 7,
2016 and as further amended on July 25, 2016 (the “Amended Registration Statement”).
For convenience
of reference, each Staff comment contained in your letter is reprinted below in italics, numbered to correspond with the paragraph
numbers assigned in your letter, and is followed by our corresponding response. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Registration Statement
Prospectus
1. Please revise your prospectus to include all information except that which may be excluded
pursuant to Rule 430A. For example, we note that you continue to omit from your prospectus cover the number of common shares underlying
the warrants, and you omit from your prospectus cover the number of securities subject to the over-allotment option and the number
of securities to be issued as underwriters’ compensation. Also, note that your preliminary prospectus should include disclosure,
such as “use of proceeds” information, based on a bona fide estimate of the public offering price. See Section II.A.7
of Release 33-6714 (May 7, 1987), and note the requirements of Regulations S-K Item 512(i).
Russell Mancuso
Heather Percival
August 1, 2016
Page 2
Company Response: We have revised
the disclosure in Amendment No. 3 in several sections,
including the “Use of Proceeds” information, based on a bona fide estimate of the public offering price and supplementally
advises the Staff that it has indicated that the information presented based on the bona fide estimate of the public offering price
is illustrative only and will change based on the actual offering price and other terms of the offering determined at pricing.
Finally, we have revised the disclosure to address the requirements of Regulation S-K Item 512(i).
Note Conversion,
page 3
2. It appears that you entered into an agreement for investors to participate in this offering
before the effective date of this registration statement. Please provide us your analysis of how the timing of this agreement is
consistent with Section 5 of the Securities Act. Cite in your response all authority on which you rely.
Company Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s
comment and advise the Staff that securities issuable to the note holders upon conversion of their notes will be exempt securities
issued in a private transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and not as part
of this public offering. As such, we have revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement accordingly. Additionally,
we advise the Staff that, with our legal counsel, we performed an integration analysis with respect to the concurrent
private and public offerings, which analysis included due consideration of the relevant guidance provided by the Division of Corporation
Finance (the “Division”), as well as the Division’s previously issued no-action letters and its publicly available
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Based on that analysis, we have concluded that the private offering described
under the caption “Note Conversion” on page 3 is exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act and should not be integrated into this public offering.

Exhibit
5.1
3. It is unclear whether this exhibit addresses the common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the underwriter warrants. Please file a revised opinion that clearly addresses all securities in the fee table on the facing
page of this registration statement.
Company Response: We have filed
a revised opinion as Exhibit 5.1 that addresses all of the comments raised by the Staff.
4. Please file an opinion that addresses whether the rights are binding obligations of the registrant
under the law of the jurisdiction governing your warrant agreement. We note that exhibit 5.1 is limited to the Delaware General
Corporation Law, but your warrant agreements filed as exhibits 4.5 and 4.6 appear to be governed by the laws of the State of New
York.
Company Response: We have filed
a revised opinion as Exhibit 5.1 that addresses all of the comments raised by the Staff.
As requested in the Comment Letter, the Company acknowledges that:
· should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing
effective, does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
· the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring
the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the filing; and
· the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in
any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We would very much appreciate the Staff’s
prompt review of Amendment No. 3. Should you have any additional questions, please call me at (949) 900-6836 or our counsel, Richard
Mattern, at (901) 543-5933.

(the “Company”) Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 10 Filed February 9, 2012 File No. 000-54575 Ms. Ravitz, Ms. Hogue, Mr. Hult and Mr. Webb: We have enclosed for electronic filing via EDGAR pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 28, 2011. The copy of Amendment No. 2 that is enclosed with the hard copy of this letter is marked to show changes from Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on February 9, 2012 (“Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 2 is being filed in response to comments received from the staff of the Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) by letter dated February 23, 2012 to Kimble L. Jenkins (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to Amendment No. 1.

Please expand your response to prior comment 11 with regard to your cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2011 and with regard to whether the legal settlement represents a known, material demand or commitment that will result in or that is reasonably likely to result in your liquidity decreasing in any material way. In Amendment No. 2, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 61 to state that all but approximately $71,000 of the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the legal settlement were paid in 2011. The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the remaining amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the legal settlement, approximately $71,000, were paid in February 2012. Based on the fact that only approximately $71,000 remained payable as of December 31, 2011, and all of the Company’s payment obligations under the legal settlement have now been satisfied, the Company does not believe the legal settlement represents a material commitment that will result in or that is reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity decreasing in any material way. Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 62 2. Please expand your response to prior comment 13 to clarify the maturity date of the $0.7 million in principal amount of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes. If these notes mature two years from the March 2010 issuance date, as indicated in the second sentence of the third paragraph of this section, please tell us why you have not included these notes as notes payable in less than one year in your contractual obligations table on page 65. The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the maturity dates of the $0.7 million in principal amount of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes which, as of January 31, 2012, had not agreed to conversion upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, occur in March 2012. The table of contractual obligations contained in Amendment No. 1 summarized the Company’s outstanding future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010, and, therefore, the Company disclosed its obligations with respect to all of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes as notes payable between one and three years. The Company notes that it had interpreted Item 303(a)(5) of Regulation S-K to require disclosure of the Company’s contractual obligations as of the date of the latest fiscal year end balance sheet in the audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement. In Amendment No. 2, the Company has revised the table on page 66 to disclose the Company’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011, which is the latest fiscal year end balance sheet date. The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the Company has included all of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes (principal and interest) in the table on page 66 as notes payable in less than one year. 3. Please expand your response to prior comment 14 to indicate the number of shares the holders of the $0.7 million in principal amount of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes would receive and the number of shares Brainlab would receive if conversion of their notes occurred today. Amanda Ravitz Aslynn Hogue Dennis Hult Jay Webb February 27, 2012 Page 3 The Company supplementally advises the Staff that all holders of the 10% senior unsecured convertible notes amended their notes to provide for automatic conversion of the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 63 to state that all note holders agreed to automatic conversion of their notes upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to provide the number of shares of common stock the note holders receive upon such conversion. The Company has also revised the disclosure on page 64 to indicate the number of shares Brainlab would have received upon conversion of its note as of February 23, 2012 based on a conversion price of $0.60 per share. Long-Term Equity Compensation, page 75 4. Please revise to discuss the factors considered by your compensation committee in determining not to award stock options in fiscal 2011 or to explain material decreases in long-term compensation. Refer to Regulation S-K Item 402(b)(2)(ix). The Company has revised the disclosure on page 76 to state that, historically, the compensation committee has considered the grant of stock options to the named executive officers based on the recommendations made to the compensation committee by Mr. Jenkins, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company has further revised the disclosure on page 76 to state that Mr. Jenkins did not request the compensation committee to consider the grant of stock options to any of the named executive officers for 2011, based primarily on the limited number of shares available for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans. The Company has further revised the disclosure on page 76 to indicate that the absence of stock option grants to the named executive officers for 2011 was not based on any evaluation or analysis by the compensation committee of the company’s performance or the performance of any of the named executive officers. Unaudited September 30, 2011 Financial Statements, page F-39 Condensed Balance Sheets, page F-39 5. We see the reclassification of $698,384 Related Party Accrued Interest and $3,414,223 Related Party BSC Convertible Notes Payable from current liabilities to long-term liabilities in your unaudited September 30, 2011 balance sheet as well as reclassifications of accrued interest in the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. We also see in your Subsequent Events Footnote on page F-61 that on February 2, 2012 the company entered into a loan modification with BSC wherein the maturity date of each of the BSC Notes was extended by three years through December 2014. Please explain to us the basis for the reclassification of the accrued interest and BSC Notes to long-term Amanda Ravitz Aslynn Hogue Dennis Hult Jay Webb February 27, 2012 Page 4 liabilities in your September 30, 2011 and comparative December 31, 2010 Balance Sheets herein. Please specifically reference the authoritative literature you believe supports the referenced reclassifications. Also, revise the filing to disclose why the classification of the BSC Note and related accrued interest in each of your balance sheets is consistent with the Notes terms. Finally, tell us your consideration of whether the guidance at FASB ASC 250 impacts your financial statement disclosure requirements. Pursuant to the loan modification agreement with BSC, the maturity dates of the BSC Notes (including the due dates of all accrued interest) were extended by three years from the original maturity dates, which were in October through December 2011. Following execution of the loan modification agreement, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-10-45-14, which states in pertinent part: “A short-term obligation shall be excluded from current liabilities if the entity intends to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis . . . and the intent to refinance the short-term obligation on long-term basis is supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing demonstrated in either of the following ways: . . . b. Financing agreement. Before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), the entity has entered into a financing agreement that clearly permits the entity to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis on terms that are readily determinable, and all of the following conditions are met: 1. The agreement does not expire within one year . . . from the date of the entity’s balance sheet and during that period the agreement is not cancelable by the lender . . . 2. No violation of any provision in the financing agreement exists at the balance sheet date and no available information indicates that a violation has occurred thereafter but before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued . . . 3. The lender . . . is expected to be financially capable of honoring the agreement.” Under this guidance, in Amendment No. 1, the Company reflected the amounts related to the Company’s obligations under the BSC Notes (including accrued interest) for all reporting periods as long-term liabilities as the modification to the terms of the loan agreement (executed as of February 2, 2012) extended the due dates of both the accrued interest and principal by three years. At the report date of the financial statements included in the Registration Statement originally filed by the Company on December 28, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), there was a loan Amanda Ravitz Aslynn Hogue Dennis Hult Jay Webb February 27, 2012 Page 5 extension agreement in place between the Company and BSC that extended the maturity dates of the BSC Notes until January 16, 2012. Therefore, the September 30, 2011 balance sheet included in the Original Filing appropriately reflected the principal and accrued interest under the BSC Notes as current liabilities. However, the comparative balance sheet in the Company’s condensed financial statements included in the Original Filing incorrectly reflected the December 31, 2010 balances related to the principal and accrued interest of the BSC Notes as current liabilities. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet included in the audited financial statements of the Original Filing appropriately reflected the principal balance of the BSC Notes as long-term, but incorrectly classified the related accrued interest as a current liability. Relying on guidance in ASC 250, in Amendment No. 2 the Company has labeled its December 2010 balance sheet as “Restated,” and the Company has disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements the corrections to the classification of the amounts related to the BSC Notes as described in this paragraph. As requested in the Comment Letter, the Company acknowledges that: • the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Company’s filing; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and • the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. We would very much appreciate the Staff’s prompt review of Amendment No. 2. Should you have any additional questions, please call me at (901) 522-9344 or our counsel, Rob DelPriore, at (901) 577-8228. Very truly yours, MRI Interventions, Inc. /s/ Oscar Thomas Oscar L.

The copy of Amendment No. 1 that is enclosed with the hard copy of this letter is marked to show changes from the Original Filing. Amendment No. 1 is being filed in response to comments received from the staff of the Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) by letter dated January 24, 2012 to Kimble L.

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and supplementally advises the Staff that the Company will give consideration, on an ongoing basis, to the updating requirements of Rule 8-08 of Regulation S-X. Explanatory Note 3. We note your disclosure in the last paragraph of market data and other statistical information provided in the registration statement. Please provide us with copies of the sources of this data, clearly marking the relevant sections of the reports that support the data you have included in your disclosure. Contemporaneously with the filing of Amendment No. 1, the Company is supplementally providing the Staff copies of third-party data relied upon for certain statements the Company makes in the Registration Statement (collectively, the “Supporting Materials”). The Supporting Materials have been enclosed for the Staff’s review on a supplemental basis in a separate binder. The portions that support the Company’s disclosure are clearly indicated for your convenience. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Supporting Materials are being provided to the Staff on a supplemental basis only and are not to be deemed filed with or deemed part of the Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 24b-2, we request that the Supporting Materials be returned to the Company upon completion of your review thereof. Please call us when you have completed your review, and we will arrange for the Supporting Materials to be picked up from you. Amanda Ravitz Aslynn Hogue Dennis Hult Jay Webb February 8, 2012 Page 3 Item 1. Business, page 3 4. Since your ClearTrace System has not been approved for commercialization, please revise throughout to qualify statements about its use, capabilities and results as anticipatory in nature. The Company has revised the disclosure throughout Amendment No. 1 to qualify statements about the use, capabilities and results of the ClearTrace system as anticipatory in nature. 5. Please revise to remove disclosure related to Siemens’ market position, or provide us information about the measure of leadership and why the disclosure enhances an investor’s understanding of your business. The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 4 and 10 to remove the references to Siemens’ market position. 6. We note your disclosure on page 9 and elsewhere that your ClearPoint System is not FDA approved for use in specific neurological procedures. If you are not presently seeking to have such indications included in your 510(k) clearance, please revise your disclosure to more clearly explain why a discussion of these procedures and the health conditions addressed thereby enhances an investor’s understanding of your business. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 9 to more clearly explain why a discussion of the specific neurological procedures enhances an investor’s understanding of the Company’s business. As reflected in the revised disclosure, just like conventional stereotaxy-based systems, the Company’s ClearPoint system has a general indication for use. The indication for use does not reference specific neurological procedures. The Company markets its ClearPoint system to physicians consistent with the FDA-cleared indication for use. For example, the Company markets its ClearPoint system to physicians generally for the insertion of electrodes, instead of specifically for the insertion of DBS electrodes. However, a physician may choose to use a medical device for a purpose that is not included in the wording of the FDA-cleared indication for use. Today, physicians use other conventional stereotaxy-based systems for specific neurological procedures. The Company expects the same will be true for its ClearPoint system.
