Calmark Sweden AB (publ) ("Calmark" or "the Company") announces today that it will intensify efforts in relation to the market launch in India, and that the potential is considered to be significant. The Company has supplied India with instruments and COVID19-LDH tests in view of a possible procurement.

As previously disclosed, Calmark has entered an exclusive distributor agreement with the company r2 Diagnostics in India. Several orders have been received from the distributor and delivered to the Indian market. These instruments are being evaluated ahead of a possible procurement of pandemic-related products by Indian authorities. This is managed by Calmark's distributor. The procurement will mainly be contingent upon the assessment of how a third wave of COVID-19 would impact the country. There is no established timeline for the procurement, as this will be determined by the COVID-19 situation. Nor is it clear how Calmark's COVID19-LDH product would fare in such a procurement, but the Company has initiated an overall ramp-up to ensure its capacity to meet demand. 

In parallel, the work to register Calmark's COVID19-LDH test cassette in the Indian market is progressing. The POC-Analyzer Covid instrument has already obtained registration. 

"We are enjoying an excellent cooperation with r2 Diagnostics, and they are doing extraordinarily good work on our pandemic product in the Indian market," says Magdalena Tharaldsen, Director International Business Development at Calmark.

Calmark Sweden AB is a medical technology company that develops and markets a point-of-care (POC) analysis method with easier and faster diagnostics of medical conditions in newborns. The unique test platform consists of a portable instrument and test cassettes for various biomarkers. The first test, Neo-Bilirubin, was launched to the market in 2020. In the Western world, the introduction of POC diagnostics is resulting in huge savings and shorter care chains. In less developed healthcare systems, the product will offer a decision support which is currently lacking, since the access to hospital laboratories often is limited. Calmark aims to become the global leader in POC diagnostics for newborns and, in the long term, to offer all relevant tests for the first period of life. In addition to products for newborns, Calmark sells a POC test for assessment of COVID-19 disease severity. The B share is listed on the Spotlight Stock Market and is traded under the CALMA B ticker. Read more at www.calmark.se/eng/home.
