IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - September 29, 2015) - Biomerica, Inc. (OTCBB: BMRA), a global provider of advanced diagnostic products for the early detection of medical conditions, announced today that following a meeting with FDA on September 17, 2015, Biomerica is moving forward with guidance from FDA to develop the optimal clinical and regulatory path to begin clinical studies for its new IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) product. The product is intended to aid in identifying patient specific foods that may exacerbate IBS symptoms. The regulatory path Biomerica is pursuing is a De Novo 510(k) which, if accepted by FDA, would allow Biomerica to attain clearance of its product without filing a PMA (Premarket Approval Application). De Novo approval is generally faster and much less expensive than the PMA route.
Biomerica has already filed numerous patents for the new technology and it is now patent pending. It is estimated that up to 58 million Americans suffer from IBS, and Biomerica believes that many could be helped by this new technology.
“FDA has been very helpful and cooperative in providing us the guidance to develop the clinical trial to validate the accuracy of our new product,” stated Zackary Irani, Biomerica’s CEO. “We are looking forward to working with them to finalize the path for submission. In addition, Biomerica is also exploring regulatory approval in other countries.”
