Magstim Granted EU MDR Certification
Magstim Passes Compliance with Strict European Union Medical Device Regulations
Expanding Magstim Access to Entire EU Marketplace
WHITLAND, United Kingdom, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Magstim has been granted EU MDR Certification for all transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems, demonstrating compliance with strict European Union Medical Device Regulations. This provides a path for Magstim TMS technology to be sold throughout the EU marketplace, and proves that the device is safe, clinically effective and has passed all requirements for testing and traceability.
'The EU MDR is the most rigorous certification backed by verified scientific knowledge,' said Ronnie Stolec-Campo, CEO, Welcony. 'As pioneers of neuromodulation for researchers and clinicians, our team is honoured to build world-class technology to study and treat the brain. This certification allows expanded reach to support this life-saving work.'
The European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) governs the safety, performance, and quality of medical devices sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). It replaced the previous Medical Device Directive (MDD). The certification is issued by a Notified Body, an independent organization designated by an EU member state.
'Our customers can be confident that with this certification, Magstim technology has passed some of the most rigorous quality testing medical devices are subjected to,' said Stolec-Campo. 'The big thank you goes to our internal Welcony teams in Regulatory, R&D and support for your commitment to get this across the line—we know this will help people worldwide.'
As the only integrated TMS technology, Magstim is now the only TMS system which can treat MDD, Anxious Depression, OCD, and Adolescent Depression with a single treatment coil. The FDA recently cleared the Magstim Horizon 3.0 and Inspire Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Systems for treating adolescent patients aged 15-21 for MDD, providing a non-invasive, non-pharmacological technology to improve care.

Newel Health obtains EU MDR for blood pressure management platform
Amid the growing prevalence of hypertension in the EU, Italian health tech Newel Health has secured a CE mark for its Amicomed platform under the EU's Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR), enabling it to support the management of high blood pressure. Compatible with blood pressure monitors including Apple Health and Google Fit, the smartphone app-based platform captures structured blood pressure data and translates it into 'clinically meaningful' insights, Newel Health stated, and offers personalised feedback towards high blood pressure management based on real-world data. The platform's features include medication reminders to improve adherence, and personalised lifestyle and dietary recommendations based on a user's clinical profile. The capabilities are supported by Amicomed's architecture. Developed by Newel Health, the proprietary platform uses artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictive models to improve behavioural segmentation, sustain engagement, and adapt interventions based on an individual's profile. A 2023 report by GlobalData forecasts that AI platforms in healthcare will reach a valuation of $18.8bn by 2027. Newel Health CEO, Ervin Ukaj commented: "We designed Amicomed to offer a digital therapy that fits into people's everyday lives, supporting them, day by day, in managing hypertension. "The MDR certification confirms the strength of our platform and the reliability of our regulatory approach.' Ukaj added that Newel intends to pursue 'scalable growth' by seeking further partnerships with public and private healthcare stakeholders. Systemic hypertension is a key risk factor for chronic disease burden, and a known precursor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with research indicating that hypertension in the EU is on the rise. A European Commission (EC) survey from 2019 found that 22% of individuals aged 15 and above reported having received a high blood pressure diagnosis from a medical professional, while a 2023 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the number of adults with hypertension in the European region and the Americas rose from 302 million in 1990 to 427 million in 2019 – reflecting a 41% rise. All medical device manufacturers marketing products in the EU must fall in line with the dictates of the EU MDR regulation by 2028. Introduced in 2017 and coming into its 'first phase' of effect in 2021, the EU MDR is promulgated as a means to centralise competencies at the EU level. While well-intentioned, some observers have deemed the regulation's roll out a 'disaster', with concerns around a perceived lack of clarity, and the regulation's overall scope and complexity – factors that have proven particularly challenging for companies with existing device on the European market.

Aytu BioPharma to commercialise Exxua for MDD in the US
Aytu BioPharma has signed an exclusive agreement with Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals to commercialise Exxua (gepirone) extended-release tablets, a new antidepressant, to the US market for major depressive disorder (MDD). Exxua, developed by Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals, is a selective serotonin 5HT1a receptor agonist that has gained approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating MDD in adults. Aytu issued an initial payment to Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals upon closure and will make another payment on the first anniversary of Exxua's market release. Aytu is committed to royalty payments based on net sales as stipulated in their definitive agreement, including a product transfer cost. Contingent on reaching specific revenue milestones over the duration of their partnership, Aytu will disburse variable milestone fees to Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals. Aytu CEO Josh Disbrow stated: "We believe that the licensing of EXXUA represents a transformative milestone for Aytu and a significant advancement for patients suffering from major depressive disorder. "More importantly, given the compelling and novel product profile of EXXUA and the unmet needs of MDD patients, we believe EXXUA can become a very important treatment option for the over 21 million Americans affected by MDD. We look forward to launching EXXUA later this year and to our exciting partnership with Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals." Funding for the transaction comes from cash reserves, accompanied by financing from healthcare-focused investors such as Nantahala Capital Management and Stonepine Capital Management, along with contributions from Aytu management and new institutional shareholders. Preparations are underway to introduce Exxua into the US market swiftly, aiming for pharmacy and patient access by late 2025. Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals co-founder and CEO Stephen Kramer stated: "We believe EXXUA will be a very important addition to physicians managing the millions of patients with depression in the US and worldwide." The therapeutic effect of Exxua is attributed to its modulation of serotonin activity through strong binding affinity for 5HT1a receptors — crucial components in mood regulation.
