Helius Medical Technologies Inc. completed its competitive selection process and has contracted with Key Tronic Corporation as its commercial contract manufacturing partner for the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator ('PoNS'). Helius intends to submit applications for marketing clearance of the PoNS in the US and internationally in the first half of 2018. The commercial design of the PoNS will be manufactured and assembled at Key Tronic’s facilities located in Oakdale, Minnesota. Key Tronic leverages decades of experience in manufacturing medical devices, a 1.6 million square foot global manufacturing footprint and a multi-disciplinary team necessary to optimize manufacturing of the PoNS device. The execution of a commercial contract manufacturing agreement is a critical step for Helius in its efforts to obtain marketing clearance for the PoNS device.
