SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Modular Medical, Inc. (the "Company" or "Modular Medical") (NASDAQ: MODD), an insulin delivery system technology company preparing to launch the next generation of easy-to-use, prescribe and live with affordable insulin pump technology, today announced it has begun the transfer of its pilot line manufacturing operations to a Phillips Medisize manufacturing site in Queretaro, Mexico.

Phillips Medisize, a Molex company, has been an outstanding collaborator in the development of Modular Medical's platform product, supply chain and manufacturing operations, as the Company intends to transition from pre-commercial production to high-volume device manufacturing. The MODD1 Insulin Delivery System will be manufactured in the Phillips Medisize Queretaro, Mexico, facility clean room, while the printed circuit board assembly will be manufactured in Phillips Medisize's high-volume electronics facility in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The manufacturing transfer is taking place concurrently with the ongoing FDA 510(k) review process of the Company's MODD1 Insulin Delivery System. "We expect to have the manufacturing operation validated and ready for human-use production early next year," said Kevin Schmid, Chief Operating Officer, Modular Medical.

Phillips Medisize has been instrumental in providing Modular Medical with manufacturing and assembly expertise, while drawing upon its global and diversified supplier base to design and develop manufacturing capability for the MODD1 Insulin Delivery System.
