QUEBEC CITY, Jan. 28, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - TSO3 Inc. (TSX: TOS) ("TSO3" or the "Corporation") an innovator in sterilization technology for medical devices in healthcare settings, today announced that consistent with its December 14 2012 disclosure, the Company has filed a new and simplified submission with the US regulatory agency seeking commercial clearance of its STERIZONE® 125L+ Sterilizer in that market.
The simplified submission presents a single cycle sterilizer offering improved claims. The Agency had acknowledged this new approach by TSO3, after reviewing answers to questions raised from the previous submission and asked the Company to re-file a new, cleaned up and simplified submission.
"Obtaining US regulatory clearance remains our top priority", stated R.M. (Ric) Rumble, CEO of TSO3. "We believe the submission is complete and the use of a single cycle with expanded claims increases our confidence in making tangible progress towards US regulatory clearance".
The submission by TSO3 will first undergo an "acceptance review" to ensure that the file is administratively complete as per the Agency's requirements. According to the most recently updated US regulatory guidelines, the Agency should provide such assessment within 15 calendar days. If the file is accepted, the Agency will grant a file number and will initiate the "substantive review" process. Complete US regulatory guidelines for 510(k) clearances can be found at:
