1.We note your revised disclosure that, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, you recognized 40% of your total revenue from non-COVID-19 related products. Please further revise your disclosure to clarify the main categories of non-COVID-19 related products that contributed to your revenue. Refer to Item 4.a of Form F-1 and Item 4.B.1 of Form 20-F.

 

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the Staff that the Company has revised its disclosure on page 48 of the Form DRS/A to clarify that majority of our non-COVID-19 related IVD products revenue was generated from ChLIA and FIA sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

2.We note your response to prior comment 13, including your disclosure that you have commenced sales of your non-COVID products and your disclosure that "[t]he IVDR approval process would have no bearing with respect to the sales of [y]our non-COVID products." However, we also note your disclosure on page 52 that you "are currently preparing the documentation for the IVDR registration of [y]our non-COVID-19 IVD products" and that you "anticipate IVDR approval by December 31, 2026." Please further revise your disclosure to clarify the purpose and significance of the IVDR registration on your non-COVID products if the approval process has no bearing with respect to the sales of such products.

 

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the Staff that the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 2, 16, 36, and 46 of the Form DRS/A to clarify that since the IVDR provides a transitional provision, the IVDR approval process presently does not impact the sales of our non-COVID products. To ensure compliance with the evolving IVDR requirements set by regulatory authorities, we must stay vigilant to prevent potential issues that could impact our business in EU. As regulatory requirements are subject to change, we are dedicated to proactively monitoring the regulatory environment in these strategically selected EU countries to maintain compliance and facilitate the successful marketing of our products.
