By Colin Kellaher

 

SeaStar Medical Holding shares rose sharply on Wednesday after the medical-device company won a third Food and Drug Administration breakthrough-device designation for its Selective Cytopheretic Device.

Shares of the Denver-based company were recently changing hands at 69 cents, up 52%.

SeaStar said the latest designation covers the device for use with patients in a hospital intensive care unit with acute kidney injury and acute on chronic liver failure.

The FDA's breakthrough-devices program aims to expedite the development and review of technology that offers significant advantages over existing approved products.
