BSD Medical Receives Letter from FDA on BSD-2000 Submission

SALT LAKE CITY--(HSMN NewsFeed)--BSD Medical Corporation (AMEX:BSM ) today announced that it received a letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its Premarket (PMA) submission for the BSD-2000 Hyperthermia System. The letter from the FDA provides guidance as to amendments needed to make the PMA approvable. The company is currently preparing its response to the amendments proposed by the FDA.

On July 31, 2007, BSD provided detailed answers to a significant number of questions from the FDA following its initial review of the BSD-2000 PMA submission. This letter is the only response to the submission that BSD has received from the FDA since it provided answers to the FDA’s questions in July.

Hyrum Mead, President of BSD Medical, said, “While we were disappointed that the initial PMA submission and subsequent response have not resulted in approval by the FDA, we are pleased to have guidance from the FDA regarding how to make the submission approvable, according to the FDA’s assessment. We can now move forward.”

The company had no immediate estimate as to the impact of the letter on the timing of the FDA review process for the BSD-2000. The company plans further discussions with the FDA regarding its guidance. Following these discussions, the company plans to respond to the FDA. In addition to the outstanding PMA submission for the BSD-2000, BSD Medical is preparing a 510(k) submission for FDA clearance of the MicroThermX 100 Ablation System.
