BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plc: Submission of CE marking application for ARTEBONE® products moves to August

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Stock Exchange Release April 26th, 2021 at 06.00 pm

Due to delays affecting the application process, the management of BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plc (“BBS”, “Company”) has changed its estimate regarding the submission date of the ARTEBONE® products CE marking application. The company expects to submit the application during August this year. Earlier, the company had estimated that the application could be submitted during April this year.

The delay is due to equipment, material and service deliveries to Oulu laboratory and Reisjärvi factory being delayed significantly due to the COVID-19 situation. Repairing a detected structural fault in Reisjärvi factory’s clean room has delayed the start of the validation process. In addition, the results from the animal testing have been delayed significantly. We expect to receive the final report during May.

The delays are causing similar delays to the forecast CE marking approval schedule. Notified Bodies’ application processing times have been prolonged due to MDR regulation. It is still unclear to what extent prolongation of processing times may result in a delay in the CE marking approval process. We will communicate this separately when the situation becomes clearer.

CEO Ilkka Kangasniemi:
“Even though we estimate the marking application to be delayed compared with our previous estimate, overall the project has developed positively and in terms of content according to plans.”
