"I want to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication in bringing this product to the market and our shareholders for their ongoing support of the Company. We will continue to deliver on our mission of enabling ‘diabetes care for the rest of us' and delivering on the needs of all patients and clinicians," added Paul DiPerna, Chairman and President of Modular Medical.
Modular Medical will hold a conference call to discuss the clearance of the MODD1 pump, as well as next steps and milestones. Details for the conference call will be announced when available.
