A public health emergency has been declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on February 4, 2020. The FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the HEMOLUNG to treat lung failure caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Per the EUA, the FDA believes that the HEMOLUNG has the potential to treat lung failure as an adjunct to noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, to reduce hypercapnia and hypercapnic acidosis due to COVID-19 and/or to maintain normalized levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO₂) and pH in patients suffering from acute, reversible respiratory failure due to COVID-19 for whom ventilation of CO₂ cannot be adequately, safely, or tolerably achieved and, in turn, may provide clinical benefit.
