EC certificates extended to May 2024

As part of Inspiration Healthcare's preparation for the new European Union Medical Device Regulation (MDR) which comes into force in May 2020, the Company confirms that it has now received its new EC Certificate for its products (excluding the recently acquired Viomedex products) to extend until May 2024 their CE marking under the existing Medical Device Directive.

As a result, all Inspiration Healthcare's products will not be adversely affected by the implementation of MDR.  The Company can continue to promote the products where a valid EC Certificate is accepted whilst it applies to its Notified Body (TÜV SÜD) to review its technical documentation under the new regulation.

Commenting today, Neil Campbell, Inspiration Healthcare's Chief Executive said:

"We are pleased to have extended the EC Certificate which allows us to continue to promote the products whilst we review our technical documentation and apply for conformity to the new Medical Device Regulation.  Our new and innovative products in our R&D pipeline are already being developed with MDR in mind and we expect a seamless transition to the MDR in due course."
