Lightning Strikes-! Blue Velvet Investment!
NO is primarily delivered to patients through the use of high-pressure cylinders, but XAIR wants to change that with its LungFit system. When
lightning strikes, the high heat causes a reaction between nitrogen and oxygen that causes them to turn into NO. Beyond Air’s LungFit device can utilize the same chemical reaction in order to generate NO from ambient air.

Without a cart, LungFit weighs just 38 lbs, making it substantially lighter than all cylinder-based systems. Features include an intuitive user interface, alarms for detection of any adverse effects, and a backup system in case of emergencies. The device has so far been tested in over 140 different patients to administer 2.5k treatments and has seen 0 serious adverse events.

The only thing that LungFit really needs to generate NO
is XAIR's lightweight filter that helps to keep out NO2, a toxic byproduct of NO generation. These filters can last for 12 hours of continuous use and are required for the device to generate NO, making an interesting recurring revenue stream for XAIR.....
