• Fluid management systems, accessories market forecast at 13.6% CAGR to $16.1 billion by 2025
• Skyline Medical’s STREAMWAY(R) System disrupts today’s standard of manually moving waste fluid for disposal
• STREAMWAY Systems eliminates waste transport, disposal costs, equipment relocation and risk of exposure to potentially contaminated fluids.

For every healthcare facility, particularly hospitals and surgical centers, disposal of waste fluids presents a unique set of challenges related not only to regulations but also staff safety. Improper disposal can result in hefty fines and possibly risk exposure to infectious fluids. For the most part, the legacy technology of draining fluid into a canister is the hospital standard, making the industry ripe for innovation. After a year of the coronavirus pandemic leading to postponements of countless elective surgeries, Skyline Medical, a division of Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), looks to have well-timed renewing development of its new Generation 3 STREAMWAY(R) System for direct-to-drain fluid waste management.

According to analysts at MarketsandMarkets, the fluid management systems and accessories market is projected to reach $16.1 billion in 2025 from $8.5 billion in 2020, expanding at a 13.6% compound annual growth rate (https://ibn.fm/Vo563). The firm cites several growth drivers, including an increasing number of minimally invasive surgeries, more government funds and grants for endosurgical procedures and a rising number of ESRD (end stage renal disease) patients. They also point to technological advancements in fluid management systems, which falls right into Skyline Medical’s wheelhouse.

Skyline Medical markets its patented and FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement, and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. A video showcasing the system is available at (https://ibn.fm/GZGlG).

The STREAMWAY System is a major step forward compared to the way many hospitals currently deal with waste fluids, which can amount to dozens of liters from a patient during a single operation. Operating under today’s standards, once a waste fluid container is filled, it is wheeled down a hallway to be emptied. This can even mean stopping mid-operation to empty a container.

The wall-mount STREAMWAY System ties into a facility’s existing plumbing system. During a surgery or procedure, a single-use filter is snapped into place, a suction tube connected to the unit and proper vacuum level programmed into the display, and the unit takes it from there, calculating the collected amount of fluid while safely disposing of it through the drain system.

For interventional radiology procedures, such as paracentesis and thoracentesis, the unit can also be programmed to remove a designated amount of fluid. Once complete, the filter is disposed of and a bottled STREAMWAY solution is attached to the unit, cleaning it in less than five minutes. The system is centered on elimination of waste transport, disposal costs, equipment relocation and risk of exposure to potentially contaminated fluids.

The new generation of the system will include:

• A 25% reduction in unit size
• Modularized subassemblies and drop-down cover to streamline assembly and servicing
• Upgraded software providing state-of-the-art on-screen graphics
• New technology for on-screen training as required.
• An automated dripless system for filter changes between procedures
• Reduced electrical and mechanical internal connections increasing vacuum efficiency
• New integrated PC board providing real-time fluid waste management
• Eliminated relays and inputs/outputs

“Skyline Medical plans to follow shortly with a Generation 3 Plus machine, which includes an integrated on board vacuum pump so the facility vacuum supply will not be required or at the very least can be augmented if needed,” commented Predictive Oncology CEO Dr. Carl Schwartz.

Overall, the new design will be smaller, lighter, and easier to install with the goal of improving operator reliability, reducing manufacturing costs, increasing durability and simplifying servicing. From a regulatory standpoint, the changes do not affect the intended use of the system, meaning no separate 501(k) medical device submission is required with the Food and Drug Administration.

• Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men andexpected to cause more than 17,000 deaths in the United States this year
• Imagin Medical is advancing its patented bladder cancer visualization technology toward commercialization and FDA approval, expecting the technology to revolutionize blue light cystoscopy procedures and improve patient outcomes in the process
• Imagin is funding its efforts with $2.165 million raised towards its convertible note offering
• Rollout of the company’s manufacturing process was delayed about nine months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.but Imagin and its production partner remain on its revised schedule
• The company expects to expand its product line once the bladder cancer technology rolls out, adapting its IP for use with other contrast dyes so the technology can be used in additional endoscopic procedures

Imagin Medical (CSE: IME) (OTCQB: IMEXF) announced on March 16 that its product development partner, ISO 13485:2016-certified manufacturer, Lighthouse Imaging, is making progress towards commercial-stage manufacturing capability of the novel, state-of-the-art bladder i/Blue Imaging System (TM) for use in bladder cancer visualization procedures.

“Prior to Imagin’s selection of Lighthouse as its contract manufacturer for the i/Blue Imaging System (TM) in October 2020, the Company received multiple fully functional feasibility units from its original design partner, Optel, Inc.,” the news release states (https://ibn.fm/34rXB). “Lighthouse’s development program has since focused on further refining the design to support Imagin’s submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and to ensure final device performance, compliance with all applicable regulatory standards, and optimal manufacturability to meet both cost targets and anticipated user demand.”

The i/Blue Imaging System will improve the ability of surgeons to view bladder tumors during cystoscopy procedures. Bladder cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer in the US and the fourth most common cancer in men and was expected to directly result in more than 17,000 deaths during the past year in the United States, with similar statistics anticipated for 2021 (https://ibn.fm/wcmFw).

The challenge for surgeons is to get a full view of any tumors on the bladder wall so they can be removed in their entirety. The existing technique of using blue light in cystoscopies to view tumors stained with a pink contrast dye makes it possible for them to view all the contours of the tumors and ensure they are completely removed, potentially reducing the rate of recurrence in a cancer renowned for its repeat incidence rate.

Blue light cystoscopy is still an emerging technique, despite its reported rate of success and cost-effectiveness in medical studies (https://ibn.fm/66wE3). Two primary obstacles to wider adoption identified by Imagin include a reluctance by hospitals and clinics to upgrade existing equipment, and the technological imposition of blue light procedures that require surgeons to repeatedly switch back and forth between standard white light camera images and blue light camera images as they visualize the patient’s internal landscape.

Imagin’s patented system responds to both concerns, first by developing a device that can easily be adapted to nearly all existing cystoscopes, eliminating the need to replace surgical tools they already own, and second, by establishing a camera system that delivers white and blue light images side-by-side on a single screen so they can be viewed simultaneously.

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic set the transition from development to manufacturing back by about nine months, meaning the system will be available for commercial production in 2022. In the meantime, Lighthouse continues laying the groundwork for meeting the FDA’s rigorous standards for surgical devices.

The good news is that Lighthouse’s program has stayed on schedule and we expect it to remain on target going forward,” Imagin CEO and President Jim Hutchens stated.

The project is primarily being funded by a $3 million convertible note Imagin undertook late last year (https://ibn.fm/yKZHJ).

• InsuraGuest Technologies is a leading insurtech (insurance + technology) company that offers its Hospitality Liability coverage to the hotels and vacation rental sectors
• The latest expansion will offer accidental medical protection to hotels and vacation rental customers who also own properties abroad
• The company is looking to enter the European and Canadian markets in 2021, two promising markets, given the size of the SMEs and projections on revenue generated from the traditional hospitality sector and vacation/holiday rental homes
• InsuraGuest already has existing insurance partnerships with leading underwriting companies and distribution with major insurance agencies

InsuraGuest Technologies (TSX.V: ISGI) (OTCQB: ISGIF), a leading insurtech company that is leveraging its proprietary software platform to disrupt the insurance landscape, has expanded its Hospitality Liability coverages to include worldwide accidental medical protection for U.S.-based customers. Through the wholly owned U.S. subsidiary InsuraGuest Hospitality, the company will now provide coverage to U.S. hotel and vacation rental customers that have properties located outside the country (https://ibn.fm/XDue0). This decision is in line with the company’s plans to expand the reach of its insurtech platform and services worldwide, starting with the European and Canadian markets. “It has always been our goal to expand InsuraGuest worldwide so we can capture the 6.8 billion hotel nights stayed and 448.7 million vacation rental users in major worldwide markets,” InsuraGuest Technologies Chairman and CEO Douglas Anderson explained. “Our ability to offer the accidental medical portion of our Hospitality Liability coverage to our U.S. members’ properties worldwide is the first step for us to become the global provider we have envisioned.” A look at the European and Canadian markets shows the motivation behind this expansion drive. A publication by the European Commission shows that small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) contribute 50% of Europe’s GDP. As at March 2020, there were 25 million SMEs, which employed 2 out of 3 Europeans (https://ibn.fm/7D8mU). The European vacation/holiday rental homes are projected to generate about $23.99 billion in revenue in 2021, with the figure expected to reach $34.18 billion by 2025 (https://ibn.fm/ChzOP). The revenue from Canadian holiday rental homes is forecasted to reach $1.40 billion in 2021 and $1.90 billion by 2025 (https://ibn.fm/0w1P1). These figures exclude the income from the traditional hospitality industry, which is expected to generate $79 billion and $4.89 billion in 2021 in Europe and Canada, respectively. To back this expansion, InsuraGuest already has existing partnerships with underwriters and distribution with major insurance agencies to sell in these new markets. Therefore, they looks well-positioned to enter the new market successfully. InsuraGuest is transforming the way insurance is delivered, and the fact that it is eyeing new markets means that it is looking at the transformation from a global perspective. InsuraGuest Technologies is at the center of a global, technology-driven insurance shakeup. A McKinsey report on the digital disruption in insurance terms the present era as “The age of innovation. Insurers have a choice: be disrupted or be the disruptor with new products, services, and business models.” It further discussed new ways in which technology has disrupted and is disrupting the insurance sector, among them the fact that new underwriting approaches have emerged. One such disruption, which InsuraGuest’s products happen to be a part of, is on-demand insurance. The report continues, “In addition to facilitating the underwriting of small amounts of cover, real-time data can enable the provision of ‘episodic’ or on-demand cover for short periods” (https://ibn.fm/ChS42). This statement perfectly describes two of InsuraGuest. The company’s platform provides digital insurance to multiple sectors, making it well-suited for the current insurance market conditions. Further, the software platform supports multiple property management systems used in the hospitality industry – over 82 PMS systems available in the market – through back-end integration, enabling it to deliver the Hospitality Liability coverage. This coverage, a specialized insurance policy covering property, casualty, accidents, and health claims, is activated when a guest checks in and deactivates once they check out. This insurance policy is also unique because it passes the cost to the guest (https://ibn.fm/S1u6U) and is available for hotels and vacation rental properties. The InsuraGuest solution further helps hospitality operators lower their insurance premiums and risks deriving from third-party liability claims by absorbing the risks itself. The majority of hotel operators file their accident or small property claims through their general liability policies, resulting in higher premiums. The higher the risk, the higher the general liability insurance prices will be. InsuraGuest changes this dynamic by transferring the risk from the hospitality operator by having guests pay a nominal fee per night. InsuraGuest then pays out the coverage for these small claims, potentially keeping the hotel operator’s general liability premiums untouched, resulting in lower expenses for property owners.

• Drilling at GOH’s Rio Loa Project begins; major milestone in development to unlock potential of area
• Based on proximity to nearby top-producing projects, GoldHaven anticipates Rio Loa could deliver impressive drill results
• GoldHaven’s high-priority projects, unique land position are starting to yield attractive targets

GoldHaven Resources Group (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS), a Canadian junior exploration company active in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile, has mobilized a drill crew and commenced drilling its 5,000 meter Phase 1 drill campaign at Rio Loa (https://ibn.fm/n18yj).

“This is a major milestone in our development to unlock the potential of our 251-square-kilometer Maricunga district play,” said Goldhaven CEO Daniel Schieber. “Pat Burns and his world-class exploration team managed to get the drill turning on time and on budget. Surface expressions of our pathfinder elements As and Pb are reportedly higher than those at Salares Norte. The 5,000m drill program will take about five to six weeks to complete, and the plan is to deliver results to our shareholders as we go.”

One of GoldHaven’s seven high-priority Maricunga projects, the Rio Loa Project is located 25 kilometers south of Gold Field’s Salares Norte deposit (5.2 million ounces equivalent of gold scheduled to produce 350,000 ounces of gold per annum) and 6 kilometers south of Gold Field’s Horizonte discovery. Based on proximity to nearby top-producing projects, GoldHaven anticipates Rio Loa could deliver impressive drill results. The project has already been subject to trenching, sampling and geophysics; in-fill IP geophysics lines are currently being conducted for further target definition.

Within the Rio Loa project, GoldHaven has identified a three-and-a-half kilometer north-south trending alteration zone that averages one kilometer wide. Recent trenching and rock sampling with numerous erosion windows exposing altered volcanics have returned highly anomalous As and Pb as well as locally anomalous Au and Sb values. This geochemical response is a defining characteristic of many high sulphidation deposits within the Maricunga Gold Belt such as at the Salares Norte mine.

Drilling at Rio Loa began within days of GoldHaven’s announcement that it had hired Drillex Chile SpA to conduct the drilling campaign (https://ibn.fm/g1GqR). The Drillex team comes with more than four decades of experience in exploration and resource-definition drilling, and its members are partners of the Exploration Drill Masters out of Santiago, Chile.

“[GoldHaven’s] seven projects and unique land position (251 square km’s) are starting to yield attractive targets,” stated Burns, GoldHaven’s head of exploration (https://ibn.fm/CyFDQ). “The world-class exploration team is now complete and ready to start our exploration campaign.”

In addition to Rio Loa, GoldHaven has six other high priority assets to test and drill. This will keep the company busy during 2021. The company is intent on advancing its Apolo Project’s Roma and Alicia properties as well as its Coya assets and preparing them for drilling. These targets have been designated as high-priority owing to their extensive and pervasive alteration, favourable geology, structures and highly anomalous rock geochemistry results, as well as their relative proximity to existing deposits.

GoldHaven’s goal is to identify and capitalize on valuable precious metals projects in mineral-rich districts with stable political jurisdictions. In the last 10 years, 100 million ounces of gold have been discovered within the Maricunga Belt.

The company’s recently published Sustainability Report outlines its commitment to a number of initiatives, including producing many of the raw materials that make clean energy and advanced technologies possible and executing industry-leading uranium and vanadium recycling programs (https://ibn.fm/8d3TQ). The report also notes UUUU’s dedication to sustainability through corporate, environmental and social responsibility.

“Energy Fuels is proud of our record of environmental stewardship,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers (https://ibn.fm/nY843). “We work hard every day to ensure our operations minimize potential impacts to the environment, including water, air, wildlife, soil, and cultural resources.  We operate in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and where practicable, we strive to exceed those standards.

“Past uranium mining in the U.S. created many health and environmental issues,” he continued. “However, it is important to understand that most health and environmental impacts from the uranium industry resulted from operations that occurred decades ago in the years during and after WWII and at the height of the Cold War. Energy Fuels — and the regulators that oversee our operations – are working to ensure that those mistakes are not repeated. The uranium we responsibly produce today is helping address some of the most daunting health and environmental issues facing the world today — air pollution and climate change.  We are proud to play a growing part in this global effort.”

As part of that effort, Energy Fuels is committed to environmental responsibility through its industry-leading recycling programs. UUUU recycles uranium-bearing material for the recovery of uranium at its White Mesa Mill in Utah that would otherwise be lost to direct disposal. This includes material produced from other metal mining and processing, the uranium conversion process, and other sources.

In addition, Energy Fuels is recycling high-purity vanadium from its tailings facilities.

According to UUUU’s sustainability report, the 1.8 million pounds of vanadium that Energy Fuels has recycled would produce enough vanadium for the steel girders needed to build four and a half Golden Gate bridges. The company believes it is vital to recycle and reuse as much material as possible in order to reduce the need for more mining of the world’s finite resources and reduce carbon emissions.

The Sustainability Report also noted that over its history, the White Mesa Mill has recycled more than six million pounds of uranium, all of which would otherwise have been lost to direct disposal. After being converted to nuclear fuel, that amount of recycled uranium would eliminate an estimated 85 million tons of CO₂ emissions compared to coal, or the same amount of annual emissions as 18 million passenger vehicles or about one and a half times the annual CO₂ emissions from the entire country of Sweden.

Energy Fuels also notes that uranium is the fuel for carbon-free, emission-free baseload nuclear power – one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world. Vanadium, which today is mainly used in the steel, aerospace and chemical industries, is also expected to increase its contribution to environmental sustainability, as next-generation, grid-scale batteries utilizing vanadium are being commercialized to store energy generated from renewable sources.

Finally, REEs, which are a group of 17 chemical elements, are the building blocks for a wide array of clean energy and advanced technologies, including wind turbines, electric vehicles, cell phones, computers, flat-panel displays, advanced optics, catalysts, medicine and national defense applications. Energy Fuels’ involvement in these sectors underlies its efforts and commitment to environmental sustainability.

“Energy Fuels might be the best untold clean energy and sustainability story in the U.S. today,” said Chalmers. “We believe our recently published Sustainability Report tells this story, along with our commitments to human rights and corporate and social responsibility. We are proud of the growing roles we play in helping address global climate change, reducing air pollution, making clean energy technologies possible, and working to make the world a healthier and cleaner place.”

• Purchase agreement with Xymogen(R) for BergaMet North America’s Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit(TM) expected to generate significant revenue and distribution opportunities nationwide
• The global market for botanical and plant-derived drugs was valued at $29.4 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $39.6 billion by 2022
• Healthy Extracts is nearly debt-free with minimal overhead costs

Through a growing portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthy Extracts (OTCQB: HYEX) (formerly Grey Cloak Tech) is engaged in proprietary research and development of natural plant-based formulations, sales, and distribution of cardiovascular and neuro products. Through its unique assets and operations of subsidiaries BergaMet North America and Ultimate Brain Nutrients (“UBN”), the company aims to offer better lifestyle opportunities while advancing its market position in the health industry. The company has recently announced promising results of clinical studies for two leading products: BergaMet North America’s HERHEART(TM) and Ultimate Brain Nutrients’ Fuel4Thought(TM) Brain Booster. HERHEART(TM) is an exclusive natural supplement that is scientifically formulated specifically for women to support cardiovascular health, including perimenopausal symptoms. The study was conducted in 35 postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction at the University Magna Graecia of Caranzaro in Italy. Results indicated that patients who were administered HERHEART(TM) reported a 40 percent decrease in mood swings and 60 percent reduction in hot flashes, along with a 45 percent increase in energy and a 40 to 70 percent increase in desire and arousal. The supplement was also shown to have beneficial effects in what regards fat metabolizing, lower cholesterol levels and anti-inflammatory action (https://ibn.fm/c2yTR). Duke Pitts, CEO of BergaMet North America, explained that HERHEART(TM) was specifically designed to fill the void in heart health products designed for women, in the context in which cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for women in the U.S. “Not only does HERHEART assist in metabolic syndrome challenges, it also provides continued support for women as they mature. There is no other product that focuses directly on women, combines natural ingredients, and has the clinical studies to confirm its effectiveness,” Pitts said. The company expects HERHEAT(TM) to become one of its top selling products, while providing an exclusive market position. Aiding in the product’s promotion is internationally renowned Dr. Nesochi Okeke-Igbokwe MD., M.S, who recently joined the company’s Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Nesochi is a respected international health expert and trusted media resource. Shortly after releasing the results about HERHEART(TM), the company’s UBN subsidiary released its study of Fuel4Thought(TM) Brain Booster, showing impressive results in brain activation, sports vision, hand to eye coordination, and auditory reaction time. The results were presented by Dr. Neil Wolkadoff and Dr. Gerald Haase at the 2020 meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. The prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial was completed at the Colorado Center for Health and Sport Science.
