Item 8.01 Other Events.
In 2019, Cutera, Inc. (the “Company”) undertook remediation to remove all marketing materials related to gynecological indications, including vaginal rejuvenation, for MyJuliet, a device designed and manufactured by a third party. This followed commitments that the Company had made to the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to cease the promotion of MyJuliet for all vaginal rejuvenation and similar claims. As part of this remediation, the Company requested that the third party 510(k) owner of MyJuliet also stop promoting vaginal procedures on its U.S. website.
The FDA, however, sent a warning letter to the Company, dated November 10, 2022, identifying a vestigial piece of marketing material. A website that was registered to the Company, but hosted and managed by a non-U.S. third party on the Company’s behalf, was mistakenly not taken down in 2019. The Company believes that this was an isolated oversight, is taking responsive actions to prevent any such recurrence and believes that the FDA’s concerns can be addressed. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the FDA to resolve the warning letter and responded to the warning letter on December 1, 2022.
However, the Company cannot assure that the FDA will find that the Company's responsive actions are appropriate or that they have been adequately implemented. The Company also cannot assure that the FDA will not find other observations or the timing of the resolution of the warning letter. Until the observations of the FDA are corrected, the Company may be subject to additional regulatory action by the FDA.
The Company issued a press release on December 1, 2022, regarding the FDA warning letter. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and the information contained therein, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. Furthermore, the information contained in this report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
