Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights and preferences as may be approved by its Board of Directors under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with various institutional investors to sell in a private placement offering (the “2021 Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of our newly-created Series B Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) convertible into an aggregate of 37,500,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants (the “2021 Warrants”) exercisable for 37,500,000 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $14.9 million. The 2021 Private Placement closed on November 2, 2021. The 2021 Warrants are exercisable into 37,500,000 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.53 per share, subject to adjustment. The Warrants were not immediately exercisable upon issuance. In order for the Warrants to become exercisable, the Company was required to hold a stockholder meeting to (i) obtain stockholder approval, in accordance with the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) Section 713(a) and (b), for the issuance of the 37,500,000 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of all of the Warrants, as well as the issuance of the 37,500,000 Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Share Issuance Proposal”) and (ii) obtain stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Share Increase Proposal”). The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on December 17, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”) at which the Share Issuance Approval was approved by stockholders and, at a subsequent adjournment of the Special Meeting on January 31, 2022, the stockholders approved the Authorized Share Increase Proposal. As a result of these approvals having been given by the stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Warrants became exercisable subsequent to December 31, 2021 and will continue to be exercisable for a period of six (6) years thereafter. Each share of the Preferred Stock that we issued in the Private Placement had a purchase price of $1,000 per share and is initially convertible at a conversion price of $0.40 into 2,500 shares of Common Stock, or an aggregate of 37,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The conversion by the holders of the Preferred Stock was initially subject to approval of the Share Issuance Proposal. Until the Share Issuance Proposal was approved by stockholders at the Special Meeting, the holders of the Preferred Stock were limited in converting their shares to an aggregate of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the 2021 Private Placement, or 8,984,178 shares of Common Stock. As a result of the Company’s stockholders approving the Share Issuance Proposal at the Special Meeting, this limitation upon conversion of Preferred Stock was no longer applicable to the holders as of December 31, 2021. The Preferred Stock does not have any preemptive rights or a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of NovaBay. The Preferred Stock does, however, have anti-dilution protection in the event that we sell or grant any Common Stock or any other securities of our Company, subject to certain limited exceptions, that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then applicable conversion price of the Preferred Stock. The Company allocated the net proceeds between the Preferred Stock and the 2021 Warrants by applying the residual fair value methodology. The Company first allocated $14.2 million to the 2021 Warrants, with the residual amount allocated to the Preferred Stock. See Note 13, “Warrant Liability” for further discussion of the key assumptions used to value the 2021 Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $0.7 million as a discount to Preferred Stock and an increase to additional paid in capital. The Company fully amortized the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the deemed dividend in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon approval of the Share Issuance Proposal in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company incurred total issuance costs of $1.7 million in conjunction with the 2021 Private placement. The Company allocated $1.6 million of the issuance costs to the warrant liability which was expensed in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2021. The remaining $0.1 million was recorded as a reduction of Preferred Stock in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There were 14 thousand shares of the Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Common Stock April 2020 At the Market Offering In the second quarter of 2020, the Company established the 2020 ATM Program with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”).

Three accredited investors, Messrs. Xiao Rui Liu, Hai Dong Pang and Ping Huang, subscribed to the private placement for $1.0 million, $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. China Kington served as placement agent in exchange for a commission equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds, totaling $0.1 million. The Company also paid other offering costs of $27 thousand. The June 2019 Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.87 and an expiration date of June 17, 2020. The June 2019 Warrants were callable by the Company if the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported on the NYSE American, was $1.00 or greater. During the first quarter of 2020, a total of 228,571 June 2019 Warrants were exercised, resulting in gross proceeds of $199 thousand. The Company paid China Kington a fee of $12 thousand, or six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds, for brokering the exercise transaction. During the second quarter of 2020, a total of 571,428 June 2019 Warrants were exercised, resulting in gross proceeds of $497 thousand. The Company paid China Kington a fee of $29 thousand, or six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds, for brokering the exercise transaction. Also during the second quarter of 2020, all remaining 571,428 June 2019 Warrants expired unexercised. As of December 31, 2021, there were no June 2019 Warrants outstanding. 2019 Domestic Warrants, 2019 Ladenburg Warrants, 2019 Foreign Warrants, 2019 Ladenburg Warrants and July 2020 Warrants In the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “2019 Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of (i) 4,198,566 shares of common stock and (ii) 4,198,566 common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 4,198,566 shares of common stock (the “2019 Domestic Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $4.2 million. The 2019 Domestic Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $1.15 and an expiration date of February 13, 2025. The Company allocated the proceeds between the common stock and 2019 Domestic Warrants by applying the relative fair value allocation methodology. The Company first allocated $3.1 million to the 2019 Domestic Warrants, with the residual amount allocated to the common stock. See Note 13, “Warrant Liability” for further discussion of the key assumptions used to value the 2019 Domestic Warrants. Ladenburg served as the placement agent for the transaction in exchange for a commission representing six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds, totaling $0.3 million, and 167,942 common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 167,942 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.25 per share and an expiration date of August 8, 2024 (the “2019 Ladenburg Warrants”). In addition, the Company reimbursed the Placement Agent $60 thousand for certain expenses. The Company also incurred and paid other offering costs of $0.3 million. The Company incurred total issuance costs of $0.5 million in conjunction with the 2019 Purchase Agreement. The Company allocated $0.2 million of the issuance costs to the warrant liability which was expensed in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period. The remaining $0.3 million was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As the 2019 Ladenburg Warrants were accounted for as a stock issuance cost, $59 thousand was allocated to the warrant liability and expensed during the period and $65 thousand was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12, “Warrant Liability” for a discussion of the key assumptions used to value the 2019 Ladenburg Warrants. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company and the holders of the 2019 Domestic Warrants and the 2019 Foreign Warrants entered into exercise agreements which resulted in the cash exercise of the warrants at a reduced exercise price of $0.99. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the exercises. The Company incurred and paid other offering costs of $0.2 million. The Company also incurred and paid a $0.2 million fee to China Kington for brokering the transaction, which equaled six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds from the 2019 Foreign Warrants. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company and all holders of the 2019 Domestic Warrants and 2019 Foreign Warrants entered into warrant repricing letter agreements. Pursuant to the agreement, in consideration for the exercise in full of the 2019 Domestic Warrants and 2019 Foreign Warrants, the Company agreed to: (1) reduce the exercise price of the 2019 Domestic Warrants and the 2019 Foreign Warrants to $0.99 per share prior to exercise, and (2) in a private placement, issue new common stock purchase warrants (the “July 2020 Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock, equal to 100% of the number of 2019 Domestic Warrants and 2019 Foreign Warrants currently held by such holders upon the holders exercising their warrants. The July 2020 Warrants became exercisable nine months after their issuance, for an aggregate of 6,898,566 shares of common stock. The July 2020 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.65 per share and will expire five and a half years after their issuance. The Company determined that the common stock issued from the exercise of the 2019 Domestic and 2019 Foreign Warrants, and the July 2020 Warrants to be one unit of account, and therefore did not allocate the proceeds between the common stock and the July 2020 Warrants as, the proceeds, even if allocated, would be both recognized in additional paid-in capital. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company also entered into a reprice agreement with Ladenburg which reduced the exercise price to $0.99 per share and amended certain terms of the 2019 Ladenburg Warrants. The Company’s potential obligation to cash-settle the warrants if a specified fundamental transaction occurred was amended to apply only in situations within the Company’s control. As further described in Note 13 “Warrant Liability”, the 2019 Ladenburg Warrants were no longer classified as a liability as a result of this amendment. TLF Bio Innovation 2021 Warrants On January 15, 2021, TLF Bio Innovation was granted warrants exercisable for 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.6718 (the “TLF Warrants”). The TLF Warrants will expire five years after their issuance. The TLF Warrants are classified as equity. The details of all outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:
