CHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) (“KORU Medical” or the Company”) today announced a poster presentation at the IgNS 2019 National Conference in Las Vegas that evaluates the performance of the Company’s HIgH-Flo Super26™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Set (HIgH-Flo Super26™) against that of the Company’s standard HIgH-Flo™ 26G Needle Set in areas including patient infusion time, tolerability, comfort, and overall satisfaction.
The poster is being presented in partnership with Santa Barbara Specialty Pharmacy.
The HIgH-Flo Super26™ is FDA-cleared and CE-marked for patient use in the administration of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) replacement therapy and is designed for use with KORU Medical’s FREEDOM60® and FreedomEdge® Syringe Infusion Systems.
The HIgH-Flo Super26™ demonstrated:
- decreased SCIg infusion time for 88% of patients as compared to the standard HIgHFlo™26G needle set, with a median improvement time of 33%;
- statistically significant improvement in patient comfort and overall patient satisfaction compared to the standard HIgHFlo™26G needle set; and
- no changes in patient self-reported tolerability, i.e. pain, swelling, or leakage compared to the standard HIgHFlo™26G needle set.
“These data suggest that the HIgHFlo Super26™ may be a valuable tool to decrease infusion time and improve patient experience with no changes in tolerability in patients requiring SCIg replacement therapy,” said Don Pettigrew, CEO of KORU Medical. “I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Marcel Sassola RPh and his staff at Santa Barbara Specialty Pharmacy, Bob Geng MD, and our team at KORU Medical.”
