FDA grants Breakthrough Device designation to Rho
Toronto. The US Food and Drug Administration granted Rho Breakthrough Device designation, a program for devices that may offer more effective diagnosis of irreversibly debilitating conditions. The designation gives 16 Bit priority review and interactive communication with the agency during its submission.
The FDA does not publish the names of designated devices or the dates of designation. 16 Bit received the designation in March 2021.
Breakthrough designation does not authorize marketing. Rho was authorized for the US market in April 2024 through the De Novo pathway.
