Therma has responded to the FDA questions and suggestions and has completed additional documentation and lab tests as required by the FDA.
Therma continues its active communication with the FDA and is pleased to announce that it has identified three clinical study sites to conduct a point-of-care clinical performance study to complement the completed Brazilian clinical study data that was previously shared with the FDA. This clinical study is being conducted in the U.S. in compliance with FDA guidance.
The study will initiate patient screening and recruitment immediately post securing Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval which is expected in the coming few days. Based on current infection rates, we expect the study to meet its primary endpoints in approximately 2-3 weeks.

Our robust bench tests and clinical performance results, provide us with confidence that we will be able to bring a viable solution to limit the spread of this virus in our communities."
