Company Description
Inspira Technologies Oxy B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN) is a commercial-stage medical device company in the surgical and medical instrument manufacturing industry. According to company disclosures, Inspira specializes in advanced respiratory support and real-time blood monitoring technologies and is expanding into blood-based diagnostics. The company is described in multiple filings and press releases as a pioneer in life-support and diagnostic technologies.
Core Respiratory Support Platforms
Inspira’s flagship product is the INSPIRA™ ART100 system. Company communications state that this system has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance and is approved for cardiopulmonary bypass in the United States and for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures outside the U.S. The ART100 is presented as a core platform for hospital cardiopulmonary support and as the technological foundation for further product development.
Building on the ART100, Inspira is developing the INSPIRA™ ART500, which is described as a next-generation system designed to deliver oxygenation while patients remain awake and breathing spontaneously. This positions the ART500 as a potential alternative to conventional invasive mechanical ventilation in certain clinical settings, aligned with the company’s broader focus on respiratory support and life-support technologies.
Real-Time Blood Monitoring and HYLA™ Platform
Inspira is also advancing HYLA™, which the company describes as a proprietary, non-invasive blood sensor platform for continuous, real-time monitoring. Press releases and SEC filings indicate that HYLA is designed to provide blood data without the need for blood draws and is intended for use in operating rooms, intensive care units, ECMO/CRRT/dialysis environments, and cardiac care units.
According to the company, HYLA leverages advanced optical sensing and AI-powered or machine learning algorithms. Clinical testing and lab work reported by Inspira indicate accuracy levels between 95% and 99% across measured parameters, and the company has reported completion of a clinical study ahead of planned regulatory submission. Inspira has also stated that it is working to extend HYLA’s capabilities to additional physiological parameters that are not available through existing non-invasive monitoring systems, as part of a broader strategy in blood-based diagnostics and next-generation blood-analysis technologies.
Intellectual Property and Cannula Technology
Inspira reports that it holds a growing intellectual property portfolio, including patents related to its respiratory platforms. The company has highlighted a patent granted by the Japan Patent Office for a Convertible Dual Lumen Cannula device and method of use, complementing an earlier U.S. patent. This cannula technology is described as allowing a single-lumen cannula to convert intravascularly into a dual-lumen cannula after insertion. Company materials state that this design is engineered to enable physicians to switch modes without additional incisions, with the goal of reducing infection risks, procedural complications, and hospital costs compared to traditional dual-lumen solutions.
Inspira notes that this cannula can support both integration into the INSPIRA ART system and potential standalone commercialization as a disposable product, aligning with its focus on respiratory support platforms and related consumables.
Expansion into Liquid Biopsy and Oncology Diagnostics
Inspira has outlined a strategic plan to expand into liquid biopsy diagnostics, particularly in oncology. The company has announced a non-binding term sheet and a contemplated transaction framework for the proposed acquisition of an advanced liquid biopsy platform and a concurrent equity investment. According to the company, the targeted platform is designed to analyze intact circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples, rather than only fragmented genetic material, to provide a more direct view of tumor characteristics over time.
Company disclosures state that the platform’s initial clinical focus is breast cancer, with attention to biomarker shifts such as HER2 status that can influence treatment options. The technology is intended to support repeat, minimally invasive blood-based testing to detect changes in tumors during treatment. Inspira reports that preliminary clinical validation work has shown high concordance with traditional tissue biopsy and that the platform is designed for routine clinical use, with potential adaptability across additional solid tumor indications, treatment-response monitoring, minimal residual disease detection, and companion diagnostic applications.
Inspira indicates that it plans, following the acquisition, to pursue FDA clearance for the liquid biopsy platform through the 510(k) regulatory pathway and notes that an existing reimbursement code is already in place for the intended clinical use. The company positions this move as a natural extension of its experience in blood-based diagnostics, automation, and regulatory execution, including the 510(k) clearance of the ART100 system.
Blood Laboratory and Diagnostic Infrastructure
The company has described a strategic expansion of its blood laboratory capabilities. Inspira reports transitioning to a substantially larger, state-of-the-art laboratory facility, with plans to increase recruitment of specialized personnel, upgrade research instrumentation, and expand operational capacity. This enhanced lab is presented as infrastructure to support the company’s long-term strategy across blood-based clinical diagnostics and next-generation blood-analysis technologies, including HYLA and the contemplated liquid biopsy platform.
Inspira has also indicated that it established a dedicated blood diagnostics laboratory as foundational infrastructure for expansion into adjacent diagnostic applications, including oncology. The company states that this laboratory is intended to support increased sample processing capacity and integration of advanced analytical capabilities.
Commercialization, Purchase Orders, and Global Reach
Inspira describes itself as a commercial-stage company. It has reported binding purchase orders totaling tens of millions of dollars for its technologies, with revenues relating to these orders expected to be recognized in a future fiscal period, subject to regulatory and deployment milestones. The company notes that payment activity for these orders has been structured in alignment with regulatory sequencing, technical implementation, and institutional funding arrangements, particularly for large-scale international healthcare deployments.
On the regulatory front, Inspira has announced completion of regulatory submission for the ART100 system to the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Health and Prevention and has indicated that it is nearing final regulatory clearance in that market. The company links this to its broader commercialization roadmap and potential expansion in the Gulf region. It also reports that the ART100 is deployed at leading U.S. hospitals and that it is working with distribution partners and regulators to advance deployment schedules across target markets.
AI-Enabled Training and Ecosystem Partnerships
Inspira has entered into a collaboration with Bites Learning Ltd., described as an AI-based digital training and performance enablement provider. Under this alliance, Inspira plans to embed Bites’ AI-powered learning and guidance platform as a built-in standard across its ecosystem, including future versions of the ART100 system and the HYLA blood sensor.
According to company statements, this integration is intended to support adaptive, AI-driven training modules, interactive simulations, and digital playbooks for troubleshooting and maintenance. The collaboration is described as creating an AI-driven foundation for Inspira’s commercial operations, with data-driven analytics on training efficiency and adoption, and as a built-in value layer for hospitals, distributors, and users. The parties have also referenced joint marketing initiatives and options to evaluate deeper strategic transactions in the future.
