ATLANTA, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a leading biomedical company focused on addressing significant unmet needs of women worldwide with a broad portfolio of in-office, accessible and innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products, announces financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and provides a corporate update.

Corporate Highlights from 2Q 2024 to date

• Company received European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) certification and CE Mark for four of its women’s health products, providing regulatory approval to begin marketing in the European Union. Further, it serves as independent validation of Femasys’ commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety for its customers and their patients.
• Femasys completed the build-out of its initial commercial team in the U.S., which will be leading the Company’s marketing efforts. This milestone, together with the CE Mark approval for its product portfolio, enables Femasys to concurrently identify strategic distribution partners to begin commercialization of its products in the European Union.
• CEO and Founder Kathy Lee-Sepsick met with the White House’s Gender Policy Council to discuss the Company’s reproductive health products and the future of women’s health in the United States and the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy to discuss the Cancer Moonshot Initiative, as well as separately with Members of Congress to raise awareness of the Company and our women’s healthcare initiatives.

“The recruitment and subsequent onboarding of our commercial team, consisting of highly qualified professionals with specific expertise in women’s health is complete and our team has recently begun actively marketing our products in the U.S.. We believe that our novel fertility solution FemaSeed^®, which demonstrated pregnancy rates more than double the historic intrauterine insemination (IUI) pregnancy rates for male factor infertility (i.e., low sperm count), is an improved alternative and a viable option prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) that is considerably more financially and emotionally burdensome. As we await announcement of published data for the FemaSeed prospective multi-center pivotal trial, we are actively prioritizing our U.S. efforts and concurrently identifying strategic distribution partners in Europe,” said Femasys’ CEO Kathy Lee-Sepsick.
