During August and September, Peptonic Medical"s technical documentation was reviewed by DQS-MED. It has now been approved and future VagiVital® batches be marked with DQS-MED"s CE marking number (0297).

The change of Notified Body has not affected the availability of VagiVital® in the market. This, as already manufactured and released products with CE marking from the Lloyds Register have been sold without restriction on the market.

• It is fantastic that we have managed to transfer our CE mark from Lloyds to DQS-MED so quickly. This is in light of the fact that there is a huge lack of capacity for accredited companies that have the right to issue CE marks, says Johan Inborr, CEO of Peptonic.

About VagiVital®

VagiVital®is a patent pending hormone free self-care product for the treatment of vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness. The product has been tested in randomised clinical studies (vaginal atrophy) with very positive results both for objective (vaginal pH and proportion of superficial cells in the vaginal mucosa) and subjective (most bothersome symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation/itching, dyspareunia and dysuria) parameters. The magnitude of symptom relief is on par with that demonstrated with e.g. prescription estrogen based products on the market today. It was very well tolerated and caused no serious adverse effects. 

VagiVital®was launched in Sweden as a non-prescription self-care product in July 2018 (see www.vagivital.com).
