MedX Health Corp. (“MedX”) (TSX-V: MDX) announces that it has
received regulatory approval to market and sell its SIAscopy on
DermSecure TM skin assessment platform in Brazil. “MedX has worked
seamlessly with its Brazilian distribution partners, MedX Brasil
and Oneway Diagnostica to ensure we were able to complete this
important certification from ANVISA, Brazil’s regulatory
authority,” commented Scott Spearn, President & CEO of MedX.
“We had the support of the Brazilian Dermatological community in
this process, and we are very appreciative of the efforts and
professionalism of our partners in achieving this milestone.”
"There is a significant opportunity for MedX’s rapid skin
assessment technology in Brazil, as skin cancer is the most common
type of cancer in Brazil,” stated Fabio Candello, CEO of MedX
Brasil. Over a hundred thousand new cases of skin cancer were
recorded in Brazil between 2016 and 2017, according to the
Brazilian Cancer Institute, and almost 6,000 were classified as
melanoma, an aggressive form of the disease that can spread to
other parts of the body. A recent study shows that Brazilian
melanoma patients experienced a lower survival rate than the
current worldwide average. The high prevalence of advanced cases
reinforces the importance of local strategies to diagnose melanoma
in the early stages, and to treat it definitively. “MedX’s SIAscopy
on DermSecure TM telemedicine platform and advanced SIAscopy
imaging technology is a perfect solution for early detection,”
further noted Mr. Candello.
“MedX Brasil has ordered 500 SIAscopes to meet their initial
demand, and now that we have received regulatory approval and our
distribution partners can begin active marketing, we are ramping up
along with our partners to fulfill this order, and will begin to
see the impact of the recurring revenue model going forward,” noted
Mr. Spearn.
