FDA 510(k) Application Withdrawn for Angiodroid CO2 Injector for Angiography

NORTHVALE, N.J., Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. (OTCQB: ADMT) has announced that Angiodroid America, Inc. has withdrawn its Premarket Notification 510(k) application filed with the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for Angiodroid The CO₂ Injector for Angiography (the "Angiodroid Injector").  The Angiodroid Injector is the first automatic injector for peripheral angiography using carbon dioxide gas (CO₂), eliminating both the pathologies associated with iodine contrast medium that often is not tolerated by diabetic or nephropathy patients, and the risks and pain associated with the manual injection of CO₂.

The decision to withdraw the 510(k) was unrelated to the Angiodroid Injector device but due to CO₂ gas itself having not been previously approved by the FDA for this use.  Angiodroid America is now reviewing what would be required for CO₂ gas to be approved for this use.  Angiodroid The CO₂ Injector is already approved for sale by the European Regulatory Authorities and has been introduced in Europe, Middle East and Asian markets. 

Angiodroid, Srl is a privately owned Italian entity.  Angiodroid America, Inc., founded last year in affiliation with Triotech Ventures and ADMT, is a majority-owned subsidiary of Angiodroid, Srl.  ADMT owns 20% of Angiodroid America, Inc. and provides it with engineering and regulatory services and will be the exclusive manufacturer of the device for the North American market.
