BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plc: The CE marking application of the Company’s ARTEBONEⓇ Paste product is in progress


BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plc has received an offer and a draft contract concerning handling of application for CE marking of ARTEBONEⓇ Paste product, company’s ISO 13485 certification and related audits from Notified Body BSI (the Netherlands).  The company has approved the offer and contract but the contract includes new requests of documents. The company is currently preparing these documents. Upon completion, the company is ready to submit technical documentation related to the application of CE marking to the Notified Body.

As part of the documentation to be submitted is the additional evidence of functionality of ARTEBONEⓇ Paste required by the authority. Preliminary reports from the first and second follow-up time points have been received from the results of an animal experiment commissioned by the company last autumn. The results of the third and at the same time the last time point are still expected. According to the company’s own opinion, the results are positive and they are capable of demonstrating the additional evidence.  A change is still being made to the original way of measuring results, which  will further refine the results already obtained.

CEO Ilkka Kangasniemi:

We are pleased that, in addition to dealing with the global corona pandemic, the authority has finally had time to respond to our call for tenders. Additionally, we are satisfied with the preliminary results of the animal experiment. After further measurements, the results are presumably valid to demonstrate the additional screen requirement that the authority has requested of us. For now, we are not changing the time table of the CE marking process. The possible effects of the additional document requirements and the specification of the method of measuring the results of the animal experiment on the schedule will be investigated and, if necessary, more information will be released during the autumn.
