 -monitoringof blood glucose (SMBG). SMBG technology approach requires the collection of a small drop of blood through lancing the fingertips and applying that drop of blood sample to a test strip which is read by a glucose meter. This traditional approach, more commonly referred to as “fingersticks”, are usually done multiple times throughout the day and night and generate a point -in -timemeasurement of the blood glucose level of the patient. This method is painful, at times difficult to self -administerto get an accurate reading and does not provide the important information of blood glucose trends that is important for effective disease management. Alternatively, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies are generally less painful to deploy, create a stream of continuous glucose level data to the patient and care providers throughout the day and night, and have the ability to present blood glucose trending data that is important to disease management. Current CGM solutions available to patients are often inconvenient and require frequent changes. Deployment of the technology in certain cases requires surgical implantation that is often a barrier to adoption from the points of view of both the user and physicians. Additionally, the cost of the current CGM solutions are typically at a level where insurance reimbursement will only be available to the most brittle of type 1 and 2 patients (the latter of which, to be covered by insurance, often require daily insulin intake). The high costs and cumbersome usability exclude the adoption of such solutions to the larger type -2population, particularly those not regularly using insulin, and pre -diabetespatients who can benefit clinically from the real time glucose data. Profusa’s Product Path and Clinical Programs Lumee Oxygen Lumee Oxygen is designed to be an adjunct instrument intended for continuous and long -termmonitoring of the oxygen in the subcutaneous tissue in the upper extremity, shoulder, or lower extremity. In jurisdictions where it has received regulatory approval, the Platform is indicated for use in patients with potential acute and/or chronic changes in tissue oxygen levels who may benefit from monitoring. Its use in those jurisdictions in conjunction with the physician’s diagnosis and judgement has the potential to create a potential new paradigm for wound care. Lumee Oxygen is designed, developed and manufactured by Profusa. The first generation Lumee Oxygen Platform received its CE Mark on September 27, 2016. The device had undergone significant design updates since to include wireless components. This updated platform is referred to as the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform to reflect this change. The Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform received CE Mark on Jan14,
