Ruggell, Liechtenstein, 01 December 2008 - Pantec Biosolutions AG,  a privately-owned company developing innovative technologies for transdermal drug delivery, today announced that it has received CE marking for the company's lead product P.L.E.A.S.E.^® (Painless Laser Epidermal System) to apply micropores into the human skin prior to transdermal large molecular weight drug administration.

The rigorous audit is based on a conformity assessment procedure and thoroughly scrutinizes product development and production documentation to ensure compliance to the medical device directive (MDD). Medical devices are required to bear a CE mark before they can be sold in member countries of the European Economic Area (EEA).

"After getting the ISO 13485:2003 certification in September, the CE Mark provides us now with enormous versatility in our global strategy," said Christof Boehler, CEO of Pantec Biosolutions. "Pantec's P.L.E.A.S.E.^® is now cleared for a wide range of transdermal drug delivery opportunities in Europe, and this represents another development milestone we have hit as planned during 2008."
