Arizona Tribune - Modular Medical Achieves Key Manufacturing Milestone for Pivot Tubeless Insulin Patch Pump

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2026 / Modular Medical, Inc. ("Modular Medical" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:MODD), an innovative insulin delivery technology company, today announced the start of production of validation lots for its Pivot™ tubeless patch pump's disposable cartridge and infusion set. Achievement of this critical manufacturing milestone keeps the Company on schedule for commercial launch in Q1 2026, subject to receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance.

The Pivot system - the industry's first removable, tubeless 3ml patch pump - is designed for simplicity and affordability, addressing barriers that prevent many patients from adopting traditional pumps.

Transforming Access to Insulin Pump Therapy

• Targets almost-pumpers: Millions of adults relying on MDI who avoid pumps due to high cost and complexity.

• Scalable, low-cost manufacturing platform positions the Company to capture significant share in the rapidly expanding diabetes tech sector.

• Remains on track post recent FDA submission, with commencement of production lots confirming readiness for high-volume demand.

"We are excited to hit this pivotal manufacturing validation on schedule, bringing us closer to delivering our Pivot pump's game-changing simplicity to patients underserved by current options," said Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical. "This further derisks our expected path to Q1 2026 commercialization, which is subject to FDA response to our current 510(k) application, and would put us in position to drive market disruption."

Investor Implications
The Company believes the achievement of this milestone significantly reduces execution risk for its commercial strategy, enhancing scalability and reliability ahead of launch. With a differentiated, patient-centric product in a high-growth market, the Company believes it is well-positioned for upside as FDA review progresses and awareness builds.
