The Impact of a Proprietary Device
As a result of licensing a proprietary device, PHM may realize substantial benefits, including:
Details of the Engagement
The engagement will cover both identifying an appropriate meter and formulating a plan for 510(k) approval. Initial estimates project completion during PHM's fiscal 2014 year.
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC is a large professional services firm with an FDA practice based in Washington, D.C. with expertise in medical device in-licensing and approvals. With attorneys formerly employed by the FDA and Congress, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC was one of the first firms to offer a practice exclusively focused on FDA issues. Over the past 25 years, the firm has secured 510(k) approval for a plethora of devices.
The engagement will commence immediately and will have three phases. The first phase will consist of selecting a meter sufficient for the market needs and regulatory requirements. The second phase will involve negotiating a license for the product for the US and Canadian markets. The third phase will be to acquire US and Canadian regulatory approval.
"I anticipate that securing control over a proprietary in-home testing device will improve our value proposition to the market dramatically," Dr. Jaime Gerber, CEO of PHM said, "Clearly, as we enroll patients, PHM's financial metrics will improve with decreased capital costs and increased margins. We also plan to license a meter with wireless technology which I believe will yield higher accuracy and productivity from our patient base. With approval, PHM can offer flexibility to patients with a selection of several self-testing devices."
"By focusing on securing the rights to our own meter," Continued Dr. Gerber, "PHM can offer a better overall outcome for the patient and the referring physician while increasing the financial value of the company."
