IRADIMED CORPORATION (NASDAQ:IRMD) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January22, 2019,IRADIMED CORPORATION (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it temporarily suspended sales of its 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring systems in European Commission (“EC”) markets due to the expiration of its CE Mark on January17, 2019.
Our products are regulated in Europe by the U.K. Notified Body, UL International Ltd. (“UL”), who provides Certification allowing use of the CE Mark and permitting shipments of products into EC markets. Maintaining Certification and use of the CE Mark requires manufacturers to routinely undergo periodic re-certification, which typically involves the re-review of a product technical file. Our 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system, originally cleared by UL and added to our EC Certificate in June2017, was recently subjected to such re-review.
On January16, 2019, we were notified by UL that their recent technical file review of our 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system could not be completed as aspects of clinical evaluation reporting, as required by newly issued guidance from the European Union, was not acceptable, resulting in a technical non-conformity. Accordingly, UL is issuing a temporary EC Certificate that excludes our 3880 patient vital signs monitoring system. This temporary EC Certificate will extend for six months, during which time we expect to cure the non-conformity and be permitted to again use the CE Mark on our 3880 patient vital signs monitoring system. In full compliance with this notification, we immediately suspended shipments of our 3880 patient vital signs monitor to all markets requiring a CE Mark.
Key points to note resulting from the notification and subsequent temporary suspension of shipments include:
· This action is not the result of safety, effectiveness or performance issues with our 3880 patient vital signs monitoring system.
· This action does not impact sales of our 3880 patient vital signs monitoring system in the U.S. or in other markets that do not require a CE Mark for importation purposes.
· This action does not impact shipments of our MRI compatible IV infusion pump and related accessories, disposables or services.
