CytoSorbents’ CytoSorb® blood purification technology is expanding the dimension of blood purification as the only E.U. approved extracorporeal liver support therapy specifically approved to remove both bilirubin, a key liver toxin that accumulates during liver dysfunction and failure, and cytokines, where cytokine storm is often the trigger or exacerbating factor in acute and acute-on-chronic liver disease.

CytoSorb has been used for this application and many others in more than 200,000 human treatments in 75 countries around the world to date.Humedics is the pioneer of LiMAx®, a rapid and precise E.U. approved diagnostic using its innovative breath analysis technology to quantitatively assess liver function.

The program will commence immediately starting in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Poland.
