Inspira Technologies Validates Next-Gen Standalone HYLA™ Blood Sensor with Clinical-Grade Accuracy, Targeting $48 Billion Heart-Lung Surgery Market
Company’s validation confirms 94.2% accuracy for blood pCO₂ measurement, pivot to standalone configuration opens immediate commercial pathway to global installed base of heart-lung machines and extracorporeal procedures
RA’ANANA, Israel, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inspira™ Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN, IINNW) (“Inspira Technologies” or the “Company”), a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, today announced the successful validation in the Company’s advanced blood labs of its Next-Generation Standalone HYLA™ System. Designed to function independently of the Company’s respiratory support devices, this new configuration allows Inspira Technologies to penetrate the broader approximately $50 billion heart-lung surgery market immediately upon clearance. In advanced bench testing, the system demonstrated 94.2% accuracy for the continuous optical measurement of Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (pCO₂), a performance level that aligns with clinical needs.
The validation data confirms that the HYLA™ optical sensor tracks real-time patient status with high fidelity. The observed 94.2% accuracy for pCO₂ is a critical achievement, demonstrating concordance with gold-standard blood gas analyzers within a tight 7 mmHg threshold. By providing continuous, non-invasive visibility into a patient’s metabolic status, HYLA™ eliminates the ‘blind spots’ associated with intermittent blood draws, potentially reducing complications during heart-lung machine and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures.
This validation marks a strategic evolution for the HYLA™ platform. By decoupling the sensor from Inspira Technologies’ life-support hardware, the Company is advancing a standalone system capable of integrating into any existing operating room or ICU workflow. This ‘universal compatibility’ strategy significantly expands Inspira Technologies’s total addressable market and activates a high-margin, recurring revenue model based on the sale of disposable optical sensors and modular software upgrades.
Dagi Ben-Noon, CEO stated: “This validation confirms our technology operates at a clinical grade. By offering HYLA as a standalone solution, we can enter the market faster and serve a massive global installed base of perfusion systems, independent of our ART™ system rollout. We are moving rapidly toward our planned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulatory submission process in 2026.”
Inspira Technologies is advancing this standalone direction based on extensive industry engagement identifying extracorporeal procedures as an immediate commercial opportunity. The Company’s approach supports recurring revenue through modular sensor and software upgrades and aligns with Inspira Technologies’ long-term expansion into blood-based diagnostics, including its recently proposed potential acquisition of an advanced liquid biopsy business.
