Asep Medical chairman and CEO Rudy Mazzocchi said: “We are extremely pleased with the continued partnership with UBC and their valuable role in expanding our patent portfolio and advancing our technologies as we make plans for the initiation of clinical studies to support a regulatory filing for commercial approval later this year.

“We have a controlling interest in Sepset Biosciences and the subsidiary is well funded and tasked with taking this groundbreaking technology to market quickly and efficiently.”

The most severe form of the disease occurs in up to one-half of all hospitalised patients with Covid-19.
