SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: ICU), a medical device company developing proprietary solutions to reduce the consequences of hyperinflammation on vital organs, announces that Eric Schlorff, CEO, will present a company overview at the 8th Annual Dawson James Small Cap Growth Conference on Thursday, October 12 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time (11:30 a.m. Pacific time). The conference is being held at the Wyndham Grand Harborside Hotel in Jupiter, Fla.

“We are excited to share two very recent transformational regulatory development at this conference,” said Eric Schlorff, SeaStar Medical CEO. “The FDA has informed us to expect an Approvable Letter within a month for use of our Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) Pediatric in critically ill children with acute kidney injury and sepsis or septic conditions, providing us with clear path toward the first market approval for our patented cell-directed extracorporeal therapy. We also received Breakthrough Device Designation for the SCD in cardiorenal syndrome, which is among the additional indications in which we believe dysregulating the immune processes could provide significant benefit.”

A live webcast of the conference presentation will be available on the Events & Presentations page of the Company's website. A replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days.
