[{"type":"text","content":" CHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nRepro Med Systems, Inc. dba KORU Medical Systems (NASDAQ: KRMD) (“KORU Medical” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 (“Q3 2020”).\n\nQ3 2020 Overview\n\n“The strength and resiliency of our core business, which provides our Freedom Integrated Infusion System to individuals with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, is helping us navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This drug is aimed at treating paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare, chronic blood disorder that affects over 15,000 patients worldwide. KORU Medical expects that this new drug will launch in 2021 and that the Freedom System will be the preferred delivery method. The Company also believes that the Freedom System will be utilized in several additional upcoming clinical ...
