Daxor Corporation Awarded New U.S. Defense Health Agency Contract for Added Capabilities to Its Point-of-Care Blood Volume Analyzer
July 24 2024 - 8:00AM
Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), the global leader in blood volume
measurement technology, today announces that Daxor has received a
$550K matching-fund extension from the U.S. Defense Health Agency
(DHA) to its Phase II SBIR contract. This additional funding will
support adding hematocrit measurement to a future generation blood
volume analyzer. The upgrade eliminates the need for hematocrit
testing from third-party devices to perform the BVA test.
“The DHA's continued support demonstrates their
ongoing commitment to advancing next-generation medical
technologies like Daxor’s BVA," said Michael Feldschuh, CEO and
President of Daxor Corporation. “The addition of built-in
hematocrit measurement will streamline our next-generation
analyzer's adoption. We aim to make blood volume measurement faster
and easier in all settings, from the bedside to clinical testing
labs to combat zones.”
“This represents our eighth SBIR award to
support the continued development of our next generation
technologies,” commented Jonathan Feldschuh, Daxor’s Chief Science
Officer. “We have an ongoing commitment to working with government
funders to effectively and efficiently develop the most advanced
technology for blood volume measurement and its clinical
application.”
