Trajan Scientific and Medical (Trajan) has listed its hemaPEN® blood microsampling device with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) as Class I for therapeutic and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.
This follows the hemaPEN’s recent registration in May for supply in the EU and UK as a General IVD; as well as inclusion in the TGA’s ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) in February as a Class I IVD.
This enables hemaPEN to be used to collect blood microsamples for clinical trials, diagnostics and applications to monitor health.
hemaPEN provides a convenient sampling procedure for collection and storage of four dried blood spot (DBS) samples. Unlike conventional DBS sampling tools, hemaPEN enables collection of an accurate and precise fixed micro-volume and is designed to maintain sample integrity for quantitative analysis. An easy-to-use sophisticated microsampling tool in the hands of non-analysts.
Remote microsampling facilitates more flexible blood sampling compared to traditional phlebotomy (blood draw) for scientific and clinical communities, for rapid R&D and implementation of new healthcare solutions for the public.
Trajan believes in science that benefits people – creating portable and affordable measurement solutions, enabling accurate results to inform preventative healthcare.
