FDA OKs Visible Genetics' HIV Genotyping System

26 Sep 19:07

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Visible Genetics Inc. (VGIN) received approval from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market its Trugene HIV-1 Genotyping
Kit and OpenGene DNA sequencing system.

In a press release Wednesday, the company said this is the first HIV drug
resistance test to receive clearance from the FDA.

Toronto-based Visible Genetics submitted its Trugene HIV-1 Genotyping Kit and
OpenGene system to the FDA on Sept. 5, 2000 as an "integrated system" comprised
of the chemistry, hardware, software and interpretive patient report necessary
to generate test results.

The report provides information to the physician about which antiretroviral
drugs are likely to be effective in treating the HIV infection of an individual
patient, the company said.
