BioStem Technologies, Inc. Receives TRIP (TRG Rapid Inquiry Program) Response for VENDAJE™

Pompano Beach, Fl., March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK: BSEM) ("BioStem" or the "Company"), a pre-clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on harnessing elements of perinatal tissue for use in regenerative therapies, today announced that it has received the TRIP (TRG Rapid Inquiry Program) response from the FDA’s Tissue Reference Group (TRG) for the Company’s amniotic membrane allograft, VENDAJE^™

The TRIP helps manufacturers of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), including stakeholders that market HCT/Ps to physicians or patients, obtain a rapid, preliminary, informal, non-binding assessment from FDA regarding how specific HCT/Ps are regulated.

The TRIP response indicated that VENDAJE^™ does meet the criteria in 21 CFR 1271.10(a) for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and 21 CFR 1271.

The Company plans to submit the TRIP response to CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) before the end of Q1 2021, in order to complete their submission for a Q code. Once submitted, BioStem anticipates the CMS Q code to be effective by early Q3 2021.

The Q codes are established to identify drugs, biologicals, and medical equipment or services not identified by national HCPCS Level II codes, but for which codes are needed for Medicare claims processing.
