Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 2, 2018) - CVR Medical Corp. (TSX.V: CVM) (FSE: B3BN) (OTCQB: CRRVF) ("CVR Medical") announces the signing of a manufacturing agreement with Canon Virginia, Inc., a manufacturing, engineering and technical operation for Canon and a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A. The agreement finalizes Canon Virginia's status as primary manufacturer, assembler, and logistical authority for CVR's "Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS)" device.
CVR's novel device, currently undergoing final phase trials at several world-renowned medical institutions, is positioned for imminent FDA submission and subsequent market launch targeted for H1 2018.
"As progress accelerates, this is a milestone which I value more than most," CVR CEO Peter Bakema states. "Moving forward with Canon Virginia is truly the best possible outcome we planned for. Financially speaking, their breadth of in-house capabilities and supply-chain efficiencies will translate to tens of millions in short-term production and logistical cost savings.
