FDA pre-submission feedback supports a Class II strategy, leveraging substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device, positioning the Company for potential initial U.S. clearance of its standalone sensing platform in approximately 15 months
THE WOODLANDS, TX, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autonomix Medical, Inc.?(NASDAQ: AMIX) ("Autonomix" or the "Company"), a medical device company dedicated to advancing precision nerve-targeted treatments, today announced the successful completion of a pre-submission meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company's recently announced standalone transvascular sensing platform, which is designed to detect and differentiate faint biological signals.
The FDA interaction provided important guidance regarding Autonomix's proposed regulatory strategy, validation activities and anticipated submission pathway for the Company's standalone sensing platform. Based on feedback received, the Company believes it has identified a Class II regulatory pathway that would use an already-cleared reference device to support a substantial-equivalence strategy for its standalone sensing platform.
Subject to successful completion of development and validation activities, and FDA review, Autonomix is targeting potential U.S. clearance in approximately 15 months.
"This FDA interaction gives us greater clarity on the work required to pursue an initial U.S. clearance and represents a significant milestone in advancing our proprietary technology toward the U.S. market," said Brad Hauser, Chief Executive Officer of Autonomix. "We believe a focused pathway for the standalone sensing platform allows us to pursue a nearer-term regulatory objective, while we continue to build toward the larger opportunity for our technology. Our goal is to establish the sensing foundation first, then expand toward biosignal interpretation and, over time, procedural guidance."
Autonomix believes successful clearance of the standalone sensing platform could establish a regulatory predicate supporting future generations of its technology platform, including planned signal interpretation and procedular guidance capabilities.
"Our vision is a clear progression: sense, interpret and ultimately guide," continued Mr. Hauser. "The ability to capture extremely faint biosignals at their source is the critical first step. From there, we believe we can build increasingly powerful computational capabilities, including artificial intelligence, designed to help physicians understand what is happening physiologically, where intervention may be appropriate and what changed following treatment. We believe this staged approach is a disciplined path from standalone sensing toward a broader 'Sense, Treat and Verify' platform. We look forward to sharing more in the coming months about how we plan to advance these capabilities."
The Company will continue development and validation activities associated with its standalone sensing platform while advancing signal interpretation and other advanced computational capabilities for future generations of its platform.
