American Marconi Wireless News - Modular Medical Announces BSI Group as Trusted Body for CE Mark Clearance

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2025 / Modular Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:MODD) ("Modular Medical" or the "Company"), an insulin delivery technology company with the first FDA-cleared patch pump designed specifically to target all adult "almost-pumpers" with its user-friendly and affordable design, announced that BSI Group will serve as the notified body for the European regulatory clearance process.

Unlike the U.S. process, European Union ("E.U.") clearance of a medical device is driven by a series of audit steps driven by a third party, known as a notified body, retained by the sponsor of the device to determine safety and efficacy, and the notified body then certifies that the CE mark standards have been met. Once the CE mark is obtained, a device can be marketed and sold in Europe and other areas that rely on the CE mark. BSI Group will serve as the notified body for Modular Medical for its CE clearance process.

"The MODD1 insulin pump is an ideal fit for the European marketplace," stated Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical. "With U.S. clearance in hand, we are focusing our regulatory efforts on the opportunity in the E.U. In Europe, pump penetration has been challenged with its high cost, considerable environmental impact and complexity of use. We believe that our combination of simplicity to learn and use and the low cost of our device, combined with its lower carbon footprint, reusable electronics and attractive form factor for the patient, will motivate more multiple daily injectors to adopt pumping."

Modular Medical currently believes that it will obtain the CE mark during the first quarter of 2026.
