No. 337-TA-1417), it said in a notice to be published April 24. The ITC initiated the investigation in September 2024 based on allegations that Germany-based MIRAmedtech and its Polish and U.S. affiliates and several other companies were importing the Cleopatra and MIRApeel systems (see 2409170039).

The ITC determined not to review the ALJ's determination and is requesting written submissions by “close of business” on May 2.
