CTSO has announced "endotoxin removal" for next gen product

CTSO has announced "endotoxin removal" for next gen productBased on this quote front our CEO, don't think cytokines are on our radar.

If you can find hard data to prove Walker's commentary wrong...pls post - "good luck"

Medgadget: Do you think that in the future, Spectral Diagnostics technology will be able to control or intervene in the reactive cytokine responses towards endotoxins?

Dr. Walker: There is published evidence that shows when the endotoxin is removed from the bloodstream, cytokine production decreases significantly. However, at this point, no studies have shown that reducing cytokines alone has a direct effect on mortality rate. Endotoxin directly effects many cells and especially contributes to myocardial depression, so removing endotoxin has many potential therapeutic effects.
