Company Achieves Toray Contractual Milestone with Establishment of Manufacturing Site
ACTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2026 / Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX) ("Bluejay" or the "Company"), a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes through its Symphony™ near-patient diagnostic platform, today announced that it has completed the establishment of a manufacturing site for Symphony™ cartridges, achieving a critical contractual milestone as the Company advances toward regulatory submission and potential commercialization.
The milestone was achieved ahead of the October 23, 2026 contractual deadline established under Bluejay's amended license agreement with Toray Industries, Inc. ("Toray"). Bluejay has formally notified Toray that the Company has fulfilled its obligation to substantially complete establishment of a manufacturing site. Bluejay's manufacturing strategy is being developed around complementary manufacturing capabilities at SanyoSeiko Co., Ltd. in Japan and ALURIS Sciences, (previously Argonaut Manufacturing Services) in the United States. SanyoSeiko serves as the manufacturing site established under Bluejay's agreement with Toray and is an important component of the Company's Symphony cartridge manufacturing infrastructure.
Together, these initiatives are intended to provide Bluejay with a more diversified and resilient manufacturing infrastructure, reducing reliance on a single manufacturing pathway while increasing operational flexibility as the Company prepares for potential commercialization. The Company believes that achieving this manufacturing milestone represents an important step in reducing business and commercial execution risk as Bluejay advances toward regulatory submission and potential commercialization.
"Achieving this manufacturing milestone is an important accomplishment for Bluejay and another tangible step in our progression toward regulatory and commercial readiness," said Neil Dey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bluejay Diagnostics. "Our manufacturing strategy is designed to extend beyond a single facility or geography. With the establishment of our manufacturing capability at SanyoSeiko and our strategic U.S. manufacturing relationship with ALURIS, we are working to build complementary manufacturing pathways that can provide greater flexibility, redundancy and supply-chain resilience."
Bluejay continues to advance its manufacturing scale-up activities alongside its regulatory program for the Symphony™ IL-6 Test, the Company's first product candidate.
The Symphony™ IL-6 Test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is not currently available for commercial clinical use in the United States. The Symphony™ rapid diagnostic platform is an investigational device and is limited by United States law to investigational use.
About the SYMON Clinical Study Program:
The SYMON Clinical Study Program includes SYMON-I (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT06181604), SYMON-II (NCT06654895), and SYMON-III (NCT07425587). SYMON-I is a pilot study to determine IL-6 levels associated with various endpoints, including, but not limited to 28-day all-cause mortality and in-hospital mortality. The SYMON-II study is the pivotal study to validate the outcomes of the SYMON-I study, which the Company plans to use to support a 510(k) application to FDA. The SYMON-III study is a pilot study to determine IL-6 levels associated with patients presenting with increasing severity of infection in the emergency department and risk of developing sepsis.
About Bluejay Diagnostics:
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. is a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes using its Symphony™ System, a cost-effective, rapid, near-patient testing system for sepsis triage and monitoring of disease progression. Bluejay does not yet have regulatory clearance for the Symphony™ System, and we will need to receive regulatory authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before Symphony™ can be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States. Bluejay's first product candidate, an IL-6 Test for sepsis, is designed to provide accurate, reliable results in approximately 20 minutes from 'sample-to-result' to help medical professionals make earlier and better triage/treatment decisions.
