MedMira Announces Progress Update of its REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test Including CE Mark
22 May 2020 - 2:26AM
Today, MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV: MIR) announced that it has
completed the registration process and affixed the CE mark
(Conformité Européene) to its rapid REVEALCOVID-19™ Total
Antibody Test. MedMira declares conformity to all essential
requirements outlined in the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Directive 98/79/EC. The Certificate of Registration has been
obtained from the European Authorized Representative and the
product is now registered in the German DIMDI data base as per
Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
the European Union relating to in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
“The CE Marking announcement made today
represents a significant milestone for the Company and our
REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test,” said Hermes Chan, CEO.
“Our RVF-based total antibody test will provide immediate
information to physicians and healthcare providers to assess the
total antibody status in patients who have been infected with the
SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. Additionally, the
unique batch testing capability of the REVEALCOVID-19™ Total
Antibody Test would be ideal for the increasing demand for a
large screening program developed in many countries.”
REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test is also
under FDA/EUA review. At the beginning of the month, MedMira made a
full EUA submission based on the available FDA guidelines and,
since then, has received FDA acknowledgment letter stating that the
product’s EUA is under review. The timeline for the EUA approval
process is not clearly defined, however, MedMira is committed to
meet all FDA requirements in a timely manner. It should
further be noted, MedMira has previously received EU (CE mark), FDA
(PMA), Health Canada and CFDA (China) approval for its RVF-based
Reveal HIV antibody test, as well as EU approval (CE mark) for
Multiplo TP/HIV rapid test.
