Nemaura Medical Inc. Submits De Novo 510(k) Application for SugarBEAT® to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Loughborough, England , July 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Nemaura Medical, Inc. NMRD, a medical technology company focused on the development of SugarBEAT® as a non-invasive, affordable and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for use by diabetics and pre-diabetics, today announced it has submitted its De Novo 510(k) medical device application to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for SugarBEAT® following the successful completion of clinical studies and two summative human factors usability studies for SugarBEAT®. 

The clinical studies were split between Type I and Type II diabetics, and consisted of 75 patients over 225 patient days. The studies generated over 12,000 paired data points, with blood samples taken via catheter every 15 minutes over a 12-hour period for three non-consecutive days for each patient. The study design was based on two previous pre-sub meetings Nemaura held with the FDA.

Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura, commented, "We are pleased to have submitted our De Novo 510(k) application to the FDA within our projected timelines thanks to our exemplary team of scientists and engineers. The global addressable market for CGM is estimated at $82 billion per year, and over $13 billion in the U.S. alone.  However, unlike type 1 diabetics, 30% of whom use CGM, the U.S. has an additional 84 million pre-diabetics.  Currently, CGM usage amongst pre-diabetics and other non-insulin using diabetics is negligible.  Unlike other devices on the market, as the world's first non-invasive CGM, SugarBEAT does not puncture the skin to insert a sensor filament inside the skin. Instead the sensor sits on top of the surface of the skin. For this reason, Nemaura believes the total addressable market for SugarBEAT is likely to be far greater at $179 billion, many times larger than the market addressable by the current competition.¹  The FDA has a structured review process, which should allow the review to be expedited, and while awaiting feedback on the application, the Company has now started to enter into discussions with key global companies in this space for commercialization in the US."
