numares announces FDA 510(k) Submission of AXINON System®, a NMR platform for metabolomics-based, AI-driven Diagnostics
24.3.2021 14:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Leading NMR diagnostics company numares AG today announced that the company made a 510(k) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its AXINON® IVD System, a NMR-platform for AI-driven, metabolomics-based diagnostics. If cleared, AXINON® would become the first NMR-based clinical laboratory system using AI-evaluated metabolic data. Several multi-marker assays for AXINON® will cover numerous unmet medical needs, in order to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.

The clearance of AXINON® would bring a novel diagnostic approach to clinical laboratories, the combination of several metabolic biomarkers, so-called metabolite constellations, analyzed by advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology and evaluated by numares’ proprietary, AI-driven AXINON® diagnostic software.
"This U.S. regulatory filing for its diagnostics platform is an important milestone for numares," said Winton Gibbons, President - US and co-Chief Executive Officer of numares. “After entering into collaborations on joint diagnostics development with analytical instrumentation and solution provider Bruker Corporation in January 2021, and with Mayo Clinic Laboratories in 2019, this FDA submission is the first step in our common endeavor to bring NMR diagnostics into routine clinical use, and make metabolomics-based diagnostics accessible to the patients.”
numares is currently developing multi-marker algorithms for several diagnostic tests on the AXINON® IVD System. These include AXINON® GFRNMR to reliably assess kidney function by improved determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). numares expects to submit this test to the FDA also in the first half 2021. The third assay AXINON® renalTX-SCORE® is intended to reliably identify early kidney rejection in post-transplant surveillance, and be submitted to the FDA in 2022. Further multi-marker tests are in development, e.g., for liver disease, cancer detection, and multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Maulik Shah, numares’ Medical Director comments: “AXINON® provides clinical laboratories with a powerful technology that leverages the information-rich metabolome with artificial intelligence to give healthcare professionals new insights into disease diagnosis and management for improved patient outcomes. At the same time, automation capabilities, excellent precision, easy operability will allow easy adaption of the FDA-cleared system by clinical laboratories and will make AXINON® an indispensable routine diagnostic tool in precision medicine.”
“The 510(k) submission of our AXINON® System is an important step and prerequisite to further strengthen commercialization of numares’ products in the United States”, concludes Dr. Volker Pfahlert, co-CEO of numares and chairman of the executive board. “Metabolic disorders are a rapidly increasing problem and major challenge to today’s healthcare systems. Patients will benefit from our approach to consider the patient's metabolome with sophisticated algorithms. Once cleared by the FDA, we believe AXINON® has the potential to meaningfully improve health outcomes and quality of life for millions of patients.”
The AXINON® System consists of AI-based AXINON® Software, ready-to-use AXINON® kits, and an advanced NMR technology, refined by numares’ proprietary Magnetic Group SignalingTM to ensure highly standardized and automated processing of serum or urine samples in high-throughput.

AI: The New Insider Threat Facing Organizations25.2.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
According to the Thales 2026 Data Threat Report, organizations across various markets including automotive, energy, finance and retail say the rapid pace of AI-driven transformation is now their biggest security challenge. Based on the report’s research, conducted by S&P Global 451 Research, 61% cite AI as their top data security risk. The concern is not only about malicious AI, but about the access it is being granted as it shifts from a tool to a trusted insider. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260225599723/en/ ©Thales As enterprises embed AI into workflows, analytics, customer service, and development pipelines, these systems are being granted broad, automated access to enterprise data, often with fewer controls than those applied to human users in a corporate environment. “Insider risk is no longer just about people. It is also about automated systems that have been trusted too quickly,” says Sebastien Can
Industrial Decarbonization: Calderion, WenCo and Terravent Invest in Graforce to Scale Plasma Pyrolysis Globally25.2.2026 09:07:00 EET | Press release
The investor consortium comprising the Paris-based Next Generation Fuels Industrial & Technological fund Calderion (Audacia), alongside infrastructure developer Terravent and WenCo Family Office, announces the closing of a strategic double-digit million-euro financing round for Berlin-based Graforce GmbH. The investment is dedicated to the industrial scale-up of Graforce’s proprietary plasma pyrolysis technology, addressing the growing global demand for cost-efficient low-carbon hydrogen, syngas, and carbon removal solutions that are compatible with existing industrial infrastructures. Disruptive alternative to conventional processes Graforce’s technology aims at replacing CO₂-intensive legacy routes such as steam reforming and classical gasification. By applying plasma to methane, biogas, flare gas, and landfill gas, the process converts these streams into their valuable molecular components instead of emitting them. The result is a high-efficiency production of clean hydrogen and syn
Mevion Medical Systems Announces CE Marking of the MEVION S250-FIT™ Proton Therapy System, Expanding Global Access to Compact Proton Therapy25.2.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release
Mevion Medical Systems, the global leader in compact proton therapy, today announced that the MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System has successfully completed the conformity assessment process and has received CE Marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (EU MDR). This regulatory milestone enables the marketing, sale, and clinical use of the MEVION S250-FIT system throughout the European Union, building on the system’s existing U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance granted in September 2025. The MEVION S250-FIT is the first and only proton therapy system designed to fit into a standard radiation therapy vault. By enabling cancer centers to use their existing infrastructure, the MEVION S250-FIT dramatically reduces the cost, complexity, and timeline traditionally associated with proton therapy adoption. This opens a new pathway for hospitals and cancer centers across Europe to bring advanced proton treatment to their patients. “With both FDA clearance and CE Marking now in hand, the MEVION S250-FIT is
