  • RYAH Smart Inhaler System recognized as a medical device from New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (MDSAFE)
  • The registration was coordinated by Medical Kiwi Ltd. as local sponsor and marks the first time a Cannabis Inhaler is registered in New Zealand as a medical device
  • Certification immediately initiates a commercial strategy with Medical Kiwi Ltd for distribution of RYAH products in NZ.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2022 / RYAH Group, Inc. (CSE:RYAH) ("RYAH" or the "Company") announced today that its subsidiary, RYAH Medtech, Inc., has received a medical device certification in New Zealand for its proprietary Internet of Things (IoT) powered medical cannabis inhaler, proprietary cartridges and software application associated with the device (the "RYAH Smart Medical Inhaler System"). The certification comes in coordination with Medical Kiwi Ltd. ("Medical Kiwi") as local sponsor for the New Zealand certification. Medical Kiwi is a New Zealand based leader in R&D, manufacturing, cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis and medical devices.

Medical Device registration number 220314-WAND-6YNT17 from the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (MDSAFE) allows RYAH to market its Smart Medical Inhaler System to medical patients in New Zealand and allows RYAH to immediately initiate a commercial strategy with Medical Kiwi to distribute the RYAH Smart Inhaler to patients in Medical Kiwi's network. The two companies previously announced that they entered into a formal supply and distribution agreement in New Zealand. This registration marks RYAH as one of the first medical devices for cannabis use to be approved in New Zealand and will provide critical anonymous session data to enable essential insights for plant-based therapies in the region.

"We are pleased to continue gaining traction with medical device registration around the world and are excited to begin our commercial strategy with Medical Kiwi in New Zealand. Medical Kiwi's patient distribution access combined with RYAH's Smart Medical Inhaler makes the perfect combination for providing safe, informed medical therapies to the patient community in New Zealand," said Gregory Wagner, CEO of RYAH Group, Inc.

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of cannabis use per capita. There are of over 266,000 patients using cannabis for medicinal purposes but more than 250,000 of these patients are still accessing cannabis through the black marke which is estimated to be worth NZ$1.5 billion.

"Medical Kiwi is facilitating the growth of legal medicinal cannabis use in New Zealand and having the RYAH Smart Inhaler System available is another extremely positive step in that direction," says Aldo Miccio, Executive Chair of Medical Kiwi. "We believe thousands of people can benefit from the device in the near term, especially as the supply of medicinal cannabis products continues to expand along with the knowledge of patients and clinicians."

The RYAH Smart Inhaler is a volume-management device for dry-herb plant based formulations. Paired with a proprietary software application, it allows users to control their session regimen, register their usage, and voluntarily provide anonymous data that can further be analyzed and used for regulatory improvements, research and awareness. RYAH recently announced its RYAH Smart Inhaler System received a Medical Device License (MDL) from Health Canada and a medical device certification under ISO 13485:2016/MDSAP and EN ISO 13485:2016 directives. The company also announced that is received a notice of allowance on Utility Patent For Its Smart Medical Inhaler System.
