TORONTO, March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Cybeats Technologies Corp. ("Cybeats'' or the "Company") (CSE: CYBT) is pleased to provide an update following the FDA's new Refuse-to-Accept (RTA) Authority as of March 29, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • TORONTO, March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Cybeats Technologies Corp. ("Cybeats'' or the "Company") (CSE: CYBT) is pleased to provide an update following the FDA's new Refuse-to-Accept (RTA) Authority as of March 29, 2023.
  • The FDA's new Authority, moving from its previous recommended guidance on medical device premarket submissions, helps further validate the market for Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management solutions like SBOM Studio.1
    The FDA's role in regulating cybersecurity for medical devices has significantly increased as the FDA can now reject or approve premarket submissions for medical (cyber) devices2 based on whether they meet section 524B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).3 An important section 524B requirement is that medical device manufacturers (MDMs) provide a SBOM for the device's commercial, open source and off-the-shelf software components.4
    An ability to institute an RTA (Refuse to Accept) decision highlights the FDA's commitment to cybersecurity in medical devices and the importance of SBOMs in enabling a transparent and accountable software supply chain.5 Cybeats is already servicing one of the largest MDMs globally, and is also in trial evaluations and late stages of contract negotiations with multiple other leading global MDMs.6
    "Medical device manufacturers, especially larger organizations, potentially need to manage thousands of SBOMs for their medical devices, and provide these to the FDA or else face the risk of having the FDA issue a 'refuse to accept' decision on their premarket submissions, especially for submissions after October 1, 2023.
  • It's therefore urgent that medical device manufacturers swiftly prioritize the adoption of SBOM and SBOM management solutions, such as SBOM Studio, within their organizations," said Yoav Raiter, CEO, Cybeats.
