Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2020 through the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements. Management Update In June 2020, Thomas L. Taccini joined our management team as Vice President, Manufacturing and Product Development. Mr. Taccini has over 35 years of experience in leading teams in engineering, product development, project management, quality systems and regulatory affairs for multiple different classes of medical devices. IDE Supplement On June 17, 2020, the FDA approved a supplement to the Company’s open IDE for the Company’s Hemopurifier in viral disease to allow for the testing of the Hemopurifier in patients with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 in a new feasibility study. That study’s plan is to enroll up to 40 subjects at up to 20 centers in the U.S. Subjects will have established laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19, be admitted to an intensive care unit, or ICU and will have acute lung injury and/or severe or life threatening disease among other criteria. Endpoints for this study, in addition to safety, will include reduction in circulating virus as well as clinical outcomes. Sales Under ATM Facility In June 2020, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $7,260,869, net of $224,825 in commissions to Wainwright and $8,472 in other offering expenses, under the Agreement described above through the sale of 2,685,600 shares at an average price of $2.70 per share of net proceeds. COVID-19 Update In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We are monitoring closely the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business and have taken steps designed to protect the health and safety of our employees while continuing our operations, including clinical trials. Given the level of uncertainty regarding the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital markets and the U.S. economy, we are unable to assess the impact of the worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic on our future access to capital. Further, while we have not experienced significant disruptions to our manufacturing supply chain, business, results of operations, financial condition, clinical trials, or preclinical research to date, we are unable to assess the potential impact this pandemic could have on our manufacturing supply chain, business, results of operations, financial condition, clinical trials, or preclinical research in the future. As we continue to actively advance our clinical trials, we remain in close contact with our clinical sites and are assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our trials, expected timelines and costs on an ongoing basis. We will assess any potential delays in our ability to timely ship clinical trial materials, including internationally, due to transportation interruptions. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our clinical trials, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Given these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the related impact to our business, operating results and financial condition, if any. RSU Grants On April 3, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2012 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Program, as modified on August 9, 2016, or the Directors Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted RSUs under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2010 Plan, to each non-employee director of the Company. The Director’s Plan provides for a grant of $35,000 worth of RSUs at the beginning of each fiscal year, priced at the average for the closing prices for the five days preceding and including the date of grant, or $1.41 per share as of April 3, 2020. Each eligible director was granted an RSU in the amount of 23,893 shares under the 2010 Plan, as the number of available shares under the 2010 Plan was not sufficient for each director’s full grant. The RSU’s are subject to vesting in four equal quarterly installments on June 30, September 30, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021, subject to the recipient's continued service with the Company on each such vesting date. Each eligible director will receive the remaining portion of the annual RSU grants, or 929 RSU’s, contingent upon stockholder approval at the 2020 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, of a new 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
