VibroSense Dynamics AB: Regulatory application in China receives "Notice of Acceptance" status

VibroSense Chinese distributor UMCARE, announces that it has received a so-called "Notice of Acceptance" from the Chinese authority NMPA, regarding the company's application for regulatory approval in China for VibroSense Meter ® II and Diabetic Foot Screening.

In a next step, a "Supplementary Notice" is expected to be received from the NMPA during June 2024. Thereafter, the application enters the final stage which includes final supplements before a certificate can be issued by the NMPA, which is expected to be ready in December 2024. The new timetable, which was communicated on March 12, 2024, applies on the condition that the NMPA does not require clinical studies in China, which UMCARE has assessed as less likely.

Obtaining "Notice of Acceptance" status is an important step in the regulatory application process, after which a final review of all documents begins. This review is expected to be completed in June 2024, at which NMPA will issue a "Supplementary Notice". During September 2024, it is estimated that all items in the "Supplementary Notice" will be adjusted. Next, NMPA completes the final step of regulatory approval, where a certificate is issued that gives VibroSense the right to sell the VibroSense Meter® II in China, which is expected to be completed in December 2024.

 "We are now finally getting closer to regulatory approval in China as our application has received a "Notice Of Acceptance" status. This is an important milestone for VibroSense! Once the regulatory certificate is issued by NMPA, we are ready to start deliveries to China immediately, followed by sales activities in the Chinese market. This will then give a direct positive impact on the company's sales, which we have been waiting for a long time," says Hans Wallin, CEO of VibroSense Dynamics AB.
