CVR Medical Corp. announced submission of the Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS) to TUV Rheinland for electrical safety and EMC testing. TUV Rheinland is one of the leading providers of product safety certifications worldwide, covering an assortment of items such as medical devices, home appliances, audio/video products, medical products, textiles and telecommunication equipment. This testing is required for the CSS's subsequent De Novo submission to the FDA for US market clearance and will show that the device is compliant with all IEC 60601-1 requirements. IEC 60601 is a series of technical standards for the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission. CVR also announced the intention to submit to Health Canada for a Canadian Medical Device License (MDL), which would provide approval for sales of the CSS into Canada, forthwith upon submitting to the FDA for market clearance. Obtaining the ability to distribute the CSS into Canada would open up one of the larger global economies, with diagnostic imaging representing 21% of their $6.7 billion medical device market.
