“While we are disappointed in the lack of sales growth this quarter for our base diagnostic business, we believe it is mainly due to timing of orders. However, we are optimistic about the prospects of sales in coming quarters from the recently received CFDA approval in China and COFEPRIS (Mexico’s equivalent of the FDA) approval in Mexico for our colorectal disease screening product. At the same time we expected to announce patient enrollment in clinical trials being conducted by University of Michigan and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc., a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital for our InFoods® IBS product. We also look forward to announcing further information about our progress for the clinical trial of our H. Pylori product which is underway,” stated Zackary Irani, Biomerica CEO.
