FDA Inspector Reported no Findings From the Scheduled Facility Audit

LYON, France, June 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded its routine inspection of EDAP's manufacturing site with no findings nor issuance of Form 483 observations.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This is another important step in the FDA PMA process for our Ablatherm-HIFU technology. It confirms and validates EDAP's ability to comply with high engineering, manufacturing and quality standards. In parallel, our team remains fully focused on preparing for the July 30, 2014 advisory committee meeting."

About EDAP TMS SA

EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm^® for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective treatment option with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment, Ablatherm-HIFU is approved and commercialized in Europe as a treatment for prostate cancer and is currently under regulatory review in the U.S. following submission of the Pre-Market Approval Application in February 2013 after the completion of a multi-center U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) granted by the FDA. In February 2013, the Company introduced a new innovative HIFU device, the Focal One^® dedicated to focal therapy of prostate cancer. Focal One^® is CE marked but is not FDA approved. The Company also develops its HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and commercializes medical equipment (the Sonolith^® range) for treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
