Part of the reason that they have opted for "Prescription Only" is because the 510(k) regulatory pathway requires the manufacturer to show substantial equivalence with respect to a predicate device. It is most likely that the closest device on the market for a successful 510(k) would be Drowzle, which itself is a prescription device. Hence they have to initially target the same user population and indications for use as Drowzle.
Prescription vs consumer use isn't a distinction that is made in European regulations, which is why we could target a broader market off the bat. Since Sleepcheek seems to be commercial failure (so far) in Australia and Europe, I can't see this announcement as a positive until any commercial partners are announced.

Agree. Sleepcheck is a 'commercial failure" and it has been in 36 countries and still hasn't made any real money. Put sleepytown to rest and concentrate on the main game.
