Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company recently received notification from its Notified Body that the CE certificate has been approved for its Motiva Flora Tissue Expander (“Flora”) and expects to receive the formal CE Certificate very shortly once formal certificate release processes are complete.
After careful consideration, the Company recently elected to withdraw its 510(k) application for Flora and focus its efforts on advancing the application for the next-generation Flora tissue expander for the U.S. market. The Company believes the features of this differentiated, next-generation device will offer a better solution for oncologists, plastic surgeons and patients in the United States.
