Bioelectronics Corporation Responds to FDA’s 510(K) Additional Information Requests for Musculoskeletal Pain Relief and Postoperative Pain Applications

BioElectronics Corporation announced that the Company has submitted its response to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) request for additional information on its ActiPatch® 510(k) market clearance application for 'treatment of musculoskeletal pain in women'. Additionally, the Company has requested a conference call with the FDA to seek clarification on additional information requested on the RecoveryRx® 510(k) market application for 'treatment of postoperative pain'. The FDA’s additional information requested on the musculoskeletal 510(k) was for the submission of women’s clinical performance data from the Company’s clinical studies on knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis and low back pain. The nature of the request was focused on the clinical performance comparison between men and women to assess the Company’s assertion that ActiPatch more preferentially treats musculoskeletal pain in women than men. In addition to the data, the FDA requested an explanation on how the proposed analyses support the market clearance indication and precludes the need for any additional information.
