The last and final step in obtaining regulatory approval of the VibroSense Meter ® II in China is delayed approximately four months. The delay is due to that VibroSense's Chinese distributor UMCARE has received many questions on its application, from the Chinese regulatory authority NMPA. According to UMCARE, the NMPA requires an extra careful review because there is no similar instrument in China, which is considered to be an advantage when the product is ready for launch in China.
VibroSense gains new momentum after the completion of the new share issue and increases investment in existing markets. At the same time, the company plans to gear up with more activities to reach out to new countries and thereby accelerate the company's sales.
VibroSense will mainly focus the use of the issue proceeds in the areas of sales and marketing, which is completely in line with what was communicated before the recently concluded new share issue.
