Neola Medical AB has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the US FDA for Neola®, a non-invasive continuous lung monitoring technology designed for preterm babies to detect life-threatening lung collapse. This designation offers prioritized FDA interaction and review, potentially accelerating Neola's US market entry after further clinical and regulatory steps.

You can use the FDA’s Breakthrough Device designation as a lever to accelerate your regulatory process and investor confidence if you are developing neonatal or critical care diagnostics in the US.
