Carbonhand achieves regulatory approval in Australia
Carbonhand has been approved for sales in Australia after achieving Australian regulatory approval with listing on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods from 1 March 2023. With the approval, Bioservo's Australian distributor has started the sales process and has already initiated the prescription process to the first patients.
The Australian market has several generous reimbursement schemes for people in need of assistive devices. In addition to the national compensation system NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) for people with disabilities, there are specific schemes for, for example, elderly people, people injured in workplace accidents, war veterans, etc. Now that Carbonhand is listed as a medical device, sales in Australia can really begin.
"Our distributor, Base Medical, has received the first of their 10 ordered Carbonhand demonstration systems and has since the beginning of the year approached clinics and healthcare professionals around Australia. There is a great interest in how Carbonhand can help people with different types of impaired hand function", says Petter Bäckgren, CEO of Bioservo and continues, "We and our distributor, Base Medical, believe that there is a great potential in the Australian market".
