Peijia Medical Secures NMPA Approval for GeminiOne TEER System

Peijia Medical Limited (HKG: 9996) announced today that the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China has confirmed acceptance of its registration application for the GeminiOne transcatheter edge‑to‑edge repair (TEER) System. The approval marks a significant regulatory milestone for the company’s first‑in‑class TEER device, positioning Peijia Medical for accelerated commercialization in the Chinese market.

Company Announcement

  • Regulatory Status – NMPA’s acceptance signals that the GeminiOne system has met the stringent safety, efficacy, and quality thresholds required for market entry.
  • Next Steps – Peijia Medical will proceed with clinical data submission, post‑marketing surveillance planning, and manufacturing ramp‑up in accordance with NMPA guidelines.

Device Overview

  • GeminiOne TEER System – An internally developed, minimally invasive device designed for percutaneous repair of mitral regurgitation.
  • Key Features
  • Sliding Groove Mechanism – Enables longer coaptation length while maintaining a smaller implant footprint.
  • Independent Leaflet Grasp – Simplifies procedural workflow by allowing discrete grasping of each valve leaflet.
  • Auto‑Locking Mechanism – Prevents inadvertent unlocking during deployment, enhancing procedural safety.
  • Multi‑Angular Detachment – Accommodates a wide range of mitral valve anatomies, expanding the device’s clinical applicability.

Innovation Highlights

  • Reduced Implant Size – The compact delivery system facilitates easier vascular access and reduces the risk of vascular complications.
  • Enhanced Procedural Efficiency – The auto‑lock feature and independent grasp reduce the number of device manipulations, potentially shortening procedure time and radiation exposure.
  • Broad Anatomical Coverage – Multi‑angular detachment allows the device to be used in diverse patient anatomies, addressing a current gap in the TEER market.

Commercial Outlook

  • Market Potential – China’s growing burden of valvular heart disease and increasing adoption of transcatheter therapies creates a sizable opportunity for the GeminiOne system.
  • Strategic Partnerships – Peijia Medical is exploring collaborations with local hospitals and device distributors to accelerate market penetration.
  • Global Expansion – Successful approval in China will serve as a launchpad for subsequent regulatory submissions in other major markets, including the United States and Europe.-Fineline Info & Tech
