Sedana Medical's AnaConDa approved to be used in children

Sedana Medical AB (publ) (SEDANA: FN Stockholm) today announced that the company's medical device AnaConDa, for the administration of volatile anesthetics for sedation of mechanically ventilated intensive care patients, has received approval for use on children by the European notifying body BSI Group. The approval also means that AnaConDa can be used in patients with severely impaired lung capacity.

"This means that we have no restrictions on the use of AnaConDa and that we can reach the entire market for mechanically ventilated intensive care patients. Regardless of whether you are a child, an adult or have reduced lung capacity." said Christer Ahlberg, CEO of Sedana Medical.

In February this year Sedana Medical received approval for its planned pediatric study by the Pediatric Committee of EMA, European Medicines Agency (PDCO). A complete application for the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the EU for drugs must include an agreed and approved PDCO pediatric study plan, a so-called Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP). The pediatric study thus ensures a complete application and thus ten years of market exclusivity in the EU.

"This approval for the use of AnaConDa in children is a prerequisite for us to be able to start our pediatric study in April 2020. It means that we have ticked off another important milestone." said Ahlberg.
