DENVER, NC / January 7, 2019 / CVR Medical Corp. (CVM.V) (TSXV: CVM) (OTCQB: CRRVF) (“CVR Medical”) a Canadian listed and US based healthcare company in the medical device sector announces it has completed a Food and Drug Administration De Novo Submission for their “Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS)” device. A De Novo Submission allows for a company to receive a “not substantially equivalent” risk-based evaluation for any legally marketed device for which there is no prior, comparable classification. As a novel device that uses patented sound wave analysis technology to detect and measure carotid arterial stenosis, the CSS fits within the criteria of this FDA filing. Due to US government shutdown, the submission will be reviewed by the FDA upon resumption of government activity.
Peter Bakema, Chairman and CEO of CVR Medical, states, “Today’s FDA submission marks the culmination of CVR’s many years of product development, design, trials and organizational preparation. It is an important and necessary step for any new device entering the market, and one that is worth the wait to be executed correctly. I am proud of our staff and partners around the world for their contributions in getting us to this stage, and look forward to keeping shareholders, as well as the greater public, up to date on the process as it moves ahead. We at CVR will continue to work during the submission phase to ensure that upon its success, we are ready to maintain momentum with the market release of the CSS.”
