NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) ("INBS" or the "Company"), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced the submission of its 510(k) premarket notification to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clearance following FDA review of its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System (the "System"), an innovative, rapid and pain-free method for drug screening. The submission represents a critical milestone on the Company’s path to realizing its goal of entering the US market with its drug testing solution in 2025.

The Company's 510(k) submission included performance data and validation studies, including a method comparison study that demonstrated the System’s 94.1% accuracy and a Pharmacokinetic (PK) study that showed fingerprint sweat provides a reliable sample matrix for drug detection, with quantitative PK data closely aligned to blood, based on statistical comparisons made at the 95% confidence level. These findings highlight the System's accuracy, reliability, and usability, demonstrating its capacity to meet the growing demand for efficient, non-invasive testing solutions in the US market.

With existing adoption in international markets, the System has already demonstrated its value in delivering substantial cost savings, operational efficiencies, and rapid results with minimal disruption. Entry into the US, one of the largest drug screening markets globally, will support INBS' ongoing global expansion, presenting opportunities for revenue growth, market share acquisition, and strategic partnerships.

The System’s accuracy and non-invasive nature position it to become a disruptive technology in safety-critical industries such as construction, mining, and transportation. Additionally, its application in the law enforcement, drug rehabilitation, and forensic sectors offers diverse revenue streams. Expansion into the US would strengthen the Company's financial performance and enhance its position as a leader in pain-free testing solutions.

"The submission of our 510(k) application to the FDA is an impactful moment for all of us at Intelligent Bio Solutions, who have worked with perseverance and an intense focus to deliver our 510(k) package on time," said Harry Simeonidis, President and CEO at INBS.
