Aerocrine’s industry leading FeNO-measuring device NIOX MINO®-09 cleared for commercialization in Japan

SOLNA, Sweden – November 25, 2013 – Aerocrine AB (OMX Nordic Exchange: AERO)
announces today that Japanese health authorities have approved the use of its
FeNO-measuring device NIOX MINO® as a tool for assessing patients with airway
inflammation such as asthma.
On November 19, the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency’s (PMDA)
granted Aerocrine regulatory approval for the 2009 version of its NIOX MINO.
This opens up for marketing and sales of Aerocrine’s FeNO (fractional exhaled
nitric oxide)-measuring device in Japan and also means that Japanese physicians
can now receive reimbursement for FeNO tests.

”The PMDA’s approval is another milestone for Aerocrine because NIOX MINO is now
the only approved FeNO-measuring device in Japan and it provides substantial
clinical and quality assurance information for the users,” says Tobias
Bergenblad, Asian Commercial Director at Aerocrine.
Asthma is a fast growing health care problem, which is caused by a chronic
inflammation in the airways. There are about 3 million asthmatics in Japan, of
whom 37% have moderate to severe asthma. Between 100 and 150 million people
around the globe suffer from asthma and the number is rising. World-wide, asthma
-related deaths have reached over 180,000 annually, according to statistics from
the World Health Organization.

"As a partner and exclusive distributor for Aerocrine in Japan, we are very
happy to finally obtain approval for the first FeNO-measuring device," says
Hideaki Hoki, president of Chest M.I. “There is noticeable anticipation for FeNO
-testing in Japan, from pulmonologists, allergologists and patients alike.”

On March 28 this year, PMDA approved the previous 2008 version of NIOX MINO, but
sales could not increase as the older version of the device had already been
discontinued from Aerocrine’s product portfolio. The now approved 2009 version
of NIOX MINO is already in stock and ready for sales through Aerocrine’s
Japanese partner and exclusive distributor Chest M.I.

Aerocrine’s NIOX MINO measures fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)-levels,
which are higher in people with asthma than in other people. It was Aerocrine’s
founders who first discovered the link between FeNO and asthma caused by airway
inflammation. Today, Aerocrine is the world leader in FeNO measurement and the
only device manufacturer with a global presence and FDA clearance for devices to
be used for clinical practice.
