Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Intronix Technologies Corporation, a Bolton, Ontario-based medical technology developer, has been granted 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Myoguide injection site targeting system.

A hand-held, battery-operated device, Myoguide functions by amplifying electrical activity generated by patients’ muscles and providing audio feedback to clinicians to more effectively locate areas of muscle activity and better select injection sites. The device can help in treatments such as pain management, movement disorder treatment and cosmetic procedures.

Intronix’s FDA 510(k) application process was supported by Emergo Group, a medical device regulatory consulting firm headquartered in Austin, Texas.  Dr. Evan Friedman, President at Intronix, explains the process of selecting third-party assistance to navigate the 510(k) process.

“As this was our first FDA 510(k), we were looking for a company that had knowledge dealing with the FDA and could also serve as our regulatory representative in Europe  and the US,” says Friedman. “Emergo Group was a great fit for us because we plan to expand into other international markets in the future and they have offices in all the markets we plan to enter.”

Once Intronix partnered with Emergo Group, the consulting firm prepared all 510(k) application materials based on the manufacturer’s technical information. Then Intronix reviewed and edited the application prior to submission to the FDA.

“For companies such as Intronix going through the FDA 510(k) process for the first time, the process can often prove more complex and challenging than in other markets,” says Richard Vincins, Vice President of Quality Assurance Consulting at Emergo Group. “By leveraging our regulatory expertise to win FDA clearance, Intronix can focus on product development and marketing in the US.”
