\| 10 10 Uncontrolled Massive Inflammation - the Heart of Critical Illness • Acute inflammation is the body's mechanism to fight injury and infection • However, severe inflammation, driven by cytokine storm, can cause a chain reaction of problems that can end in organ failure and death • Severe inflammation is the common thread amongst most critical illnesses and impacts up to 60% of patients in the ICU. Is directly correlated to increased severity of illness, organ failure, and mortality CytoSorb removes cytokines and other inflammatory toxins that fuel the fire of this deadly inflammation SHOCK CAPILLARY LEAK IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION DIRECT TISSUE DAMAGE MICROVASCULAR DYSFUNCTION HYPERCOAGULABILITY CELL - MEDIATED INJURY

\| 18 Blood Thinners and Cardiac Surgery • Tens of millions of patients globally take Direct Oral Anticoagulants (e.g , DOACs like Eliquis® and Xarelto®) and antiplatelet agents (e.g , Brilinta®) either chronically or acutely to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious thrombotic complications • Each year, an estimated 1 - 2% will require emergent or urgent surgery, particularly cardiac surgery • ~5 - 10% of emergency cardiac surgeries involve patients on chronic DOAC therapy • ~5 - 10% of heart attack patients on antiplatelet agents are not eligible for a stent and require CABG surgery • Blood thinners significantly increase the risk of perioperative bleeding in cardiac surgery. Delay of surgery for multiple days for drug clearance is typically recommended to reduce this risk • There is a major unmet need in patients awaiting urgent cardiothoracic surgery • Many patients cannot wait due to the need for emergency surgery • Waiting for drug washout may increase the risk of poor patient outcomes (e.g. thrombotic events, clinical instability, and sudden death) and wastes valuable hospital resources • DrugSorb - ATR is an FDA Breakthrough Designated Device with the potential to address this pervasive and serious unmet medical need DrugSorb - ATR is an investigational medical device in the U.S. and Canada and is not yet cleared or approved. Brilinta® , Eliquis® , and Xarelto® are trademarks of AstraZeneca, Bristol - Myers Squibb, and Bayer, respectively

\| 21 FDA Regulatory Update for DrugSorb - ATR and Brilinta® • FDA Appeal Decision of the original De Novo submission (August 20, 2025) • Upheld the prior denial decision based on missing primary endpoint of STAR - T pivotal trial, and required additional information primarily based on real - world evidence (RWE) and clinical outcomes to support the Company's desired label claim that would require a new De Novo submission • However, there were two important positive outcomes of the appeal decision • FDA did not identify any issues with with device safety – key to the benefit - to - risk ratio that FDA uses to judge De Novo device s • Based on our understanding, FDA agreed to a focused review of a new De Novo submission on the remaining open items • Based on additional discussions this year, FDA has requested that additional mechanistic data be included alongside RWE withi n the new De Novo submission, likely generated from a small experimental study, not a new clinical trial with clinical endpoints. • We now have a pre - submission meeting scheduled with FDA in August to discuss options to generate these additional mechanistic data. Once the plan is agreed upon, we will expedite the work to obtain these data and file a new De Novo application submis sio n as soon as possible (late 2026 or early 2027) • Following submission, a regulatory decision is typically expected within a 150 - day review period, although timelines may be accelerated or extended based on the nature and scope of FDA interactions during the review process DrugSorb - ATR is an investigational device in th e U.S. and Canada and not yet cleared/approved

![](tm2618977d1_ex99-1x22.jpg)

\| 22 Potential Second Shot on Goal: DOAC Removal • We have previously discussed our intention to pursue an expanded label for DrugSorb - ATR to include removal of DOACs following an initial marketing approval. Meanwhile, real - world evidence and publications continue to grow for this indication • We have now scheduled a separate pre - submission meeting with FDA in August to review the data currently available for the DOAC indication and determine what, if any, additional information may be required to support a parallel De Novo submission for DOAC removal • This strategy is consistent with our second FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for DrugSorb - ATR to remove DOACs during cardiac surgery • Tens of millions of patients are on chronic or lifelong DOAC therapy for diseases such as atrial fibrillation, DVT, pulmonary embolism, and peripheral vascular disease. Eliquis® (#7 pharmaceutical in the world with $14.4B in global 2025 sales) and Xarelto® ($5.1B global 2025 sales) are the market leaders • Meanwhile real - world evidence using our technology to reduce the perioperative bleeding risk in cardiac surgery due to Brilinta and DOACs continues to build globally Eliquis® and Xarelto® are trademarks of Bristol - Myers Squibb and Bayer, respectively DrugSorb - ATR is an investigational device in th e U.S. and Canada and not yet cleared/approved
