(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Cell MedX Corp. Provides Corporate Update
Carson City, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2019) - Cell MedX Corp. (OTCQB: CMXC), ("Cell MedX" or the "Company"), a biotech company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic and non-therapeutic products that promote general wellness, is excited to provide its shareholders with a corporate update.
Certifications
In Fiscal year 2019 the Company received a Certificate of Conformity, from LabTest Certification Inc., for the ebalance Pro device (the "Device"). The certification tests performed qualified the Device as a Class A and Class B device. Class A allows the Device to be used in professional settings, which include doctors, clinics, and hospitals; Class B allows the Device to be used in home by an end-user. In addition, the Device was certified to CSA, CE and UL standards for electrical safety and emission standards, and is eligible to bear the LabTest Certification Mark with adjacent indicators "C" and "US".
The Company has been working with ICON plc to prepare a 510k submission to the US FDA. The documentation process has taken longer than the Company anticipated as further tests and documentation were required during this process. However, the Company believes it is close to finalizing the documentation and anticipates filing the application in the fourth quarter of calendar 2019.
Currently Cell MedX can market the Device in Canada as a wellness device without making any medical claims. The Company will be able to start marketing the Device in the United States only after the device receives premarket clearance.
The Company has also been working with ICON plc to obtain their ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System which is needed to apply for the Class II license from Health Canada ("HC").
As of January 1, 2019, all medical device manufacturers had to update their previous ISO certifications to meet the new Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) standards to sell in Canada.
The MDSAP certification allows for a single Quality Management Systems audit which may include Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the USA where regulatory requirements have been met.
Due to the backlog of existing manufacturers applying for their required audits and a shortage of inspectors, Cell MedX has been informed to expect the MDSAP audit not earlier than the last quarter of calendar 2019.
If approved as a Class II device, the Company intends to market the Device to professional institutions and home users through established licensed dealers and distributors of medical equipment, as well as the Company's in-house sales team.
Manufacturing
Upon receiving the Certificate of Conformity, the Company collaborated with its Canadian production facility operated by NDS Electronic Solutions Inc. ("NDS") in order to manufacture the ebalance devices.The first 100 Canadian manufactured ebalance devices, based on new findings that enhanced the ebalance devices, were successfully completed in the third quarter of the Company's Fiscal 2019. The majority of the Devices manufactured in the third quarter were used for further in-house observations as well as for promotional and introductory material.
During the fourth quarter of the Company's Fiscal 2019, the Company started manufacturing an additional 60 Devices, which the Company has started marketing and selling to its end-users represented mostly by local wellness and naturopathic clinics.
Sales Representatives
In the first quarter of its Fiscal 2020 the Company entered into agreements with two individuals ("Sales Representatives") to market and sell the Devices in Canada.
