Nuvectra Submits Chemical Composition and Biocompatibility Data to FDA for Virtis™
October 18 2019 - 8:00AM
Nuvectra Corporation (NASDAQ: NVTR), a neurostimulation medical
device company, today announced it has submitted supplementary
chemical composition and biocompatibility data to the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) in support of the Company’s Virtis
pre-market approval (PMA) application for the treatment of chronic
urinary retention and symptoms of overactive bladder.
Fred Parks, Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“In April of this year, the FDA requested additional information on
chemical composition and biocompatibility regarding our Virtis PMA
application. Today, with all requested studies favorably concluded,
we submitted the results to the FDA and believe we have fully
satisfied their request for supplemental toxicity and
biocompatibility data. I’d like to thank the Nuvectra team, led by
Chief Technical Operations Officer Ben Tranchina, and our partners
for their diligence and timely efforts of this critical milestone.
We plan to continue to execute upon our strategic initiatives and
work cooperatively with the FDA to conclude the PMA review for a
potential approval in the first half of 2020.”
