ALR Technologies Announces First Shipment of GluCurve Pet CGMs Expected in October and Update on the Manufacturing Agreement
SINGAPORE, Aug. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ALR Technologies SG Pte. Ltd (“ALRT” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ALRT), the diabetes management company, announces the Company has received manufacturing approval from Infinovo Medical Co., Ltd. (“Infinovo”) to place the first purchase order (“PO”) for the GluCurve Pet CGM with an expected delivery date of October 2022. Furthermore, the manufacturing and supply agreement with Infinovo was subject to certain closing conditions, including entering into a binding sales and distribution agreement for the GluCurve Pet CGM by July 31, 2022. Both parties agreed to let that agreement terminate and are now working on completing a new agreement under the same terms, extending the closing condition for ALRT to enter into a binding sales and distribution agreement for GluCurve to August 31, 2022.
“We have agreed in principle on the key terms for a global sales and distribution agreement with a leading animal health company,” commented Joe Stern, Head of Animal Health at ALRT. “The last step in their due diligence process is to evaluate the GluCurve Pet CGM internally by using it on their own sample of customers and their respective pets. This step is taking longer than we initially projected due to scheduling delays. After discussing the delays with Infinovo we agreed it would be in both parties’ best interest to complete a new contract extending the date of the closing condition for a sales and distribution agreement date to August 31, 2022. Based on our non-inferiority study results earlier this year, we do not expect this delay to alter our commercialization schedule and will provide further updates on timing and details of the initial launch upon the execution of the global sales and distribution agreement.”
The GluCurve Pet CGM is the first and only continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetic cats and dogs. Veterinarians can quickly apply the monitor onto pets before sending them home where glucose levels are remotely recorded every 3 minutes and securely uploaded to the ALRT cloud. In the cloud, the data is analyzed and organized into time saving graphs and tables that are displayed in the veterinarian’s patient management portal along with additional features such as glucose curve comparisons and overlays, insulin dose calculators, best practice guidelines, and more. The pet owner will also have access to live time glucose readings and graphs through the GluCurve app for iOS and Android.
