Balda AG: Medical subsidiary obtains regulatory approval for an innovative product under its own name for the first time
Successful system integration of hardware and software for a unique pharmaceutical dispenser
Bad Oeynhausen, 6 October 2010 - Balda Medical GmbH & Co. KG, Bad Oeynhausen, an affiliated company of Balda AG listed on the SDax on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has successfully completed the development of an innovative product on behalf of a global pharmaceutical client. "The device supports the effect of the medicine by timely, precise and regular use. This unique pharmaceutical dispenser combines both mechanical components and electronic assistance systems in one. We are responsible for both, the complete implementation of hardware as well as software", explains Dr. Rolf Eilers, CEO of Balda Medical. In addition, the company satisfies all regulatory requirements. Balda Medical has obtained the regulatory approval for the pharmaceutical dispenser under its own name for the first time for the European market (CE-symbol). The core business of the company, based in Bad Oeynhausen, comprises the development, the set up for mass production and the production of disposable articles as well as complex products manufactured from plastic. The main customer base comes from the pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical technology market segments.
The product, which is also intended for the U.S. market, was developed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Balda Medical will provide comprehensive product documentation for the approval procedure, called "Device Master File". The company has been registered as a manufacturer by the FDA since 2009.
With the new drug dispenser Balda Medical is following important market trends in two ways. The rapidly increasing self-care of patients with hand-held devices occurs more frequently now using electronic support. The appropriate and controlled intake of medicine allows for a significantly improved treatment of patients.
The successful system integration of software and hardware, as well as the lead responsibility for regulatory requirements, demonstrates the broad service portfolio and the competitive strengths of the system partner Balda Medical. "The demand from our customers for a variety of capabilities from one source is constantly increasing," said Eilers.
