In October 2009, we raised approximately $1.3 million through the exercise of the Series B warrants that were attached to last year's Series B financing. These funds will provide additional runway to finance our working capital needs, our ongoing trial and the CE Mark application process into the second quarter of next year.

"We believe we have a compelling message and as more people have learned of our technology and company, our investor base has grown. In the past year, we have been selected to present at a number of conferences including the BIO International Conference, the recent Rodman and Renshaw Healthcare Conference, Windhover's IN3 East and West conferences among others. We were recently chosen to present at the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference on November 4, 2009. Earlier in the quarter, we also were featured in two interviews, one by The Wall Street Transcript and the other by CEO-CFO Interviews. These can be downloaded from the website of our operating subsidiary, CytoSorbents, Inc., at http://www.cytosorbents.com/invest.htm Please note that these interviews are dated July 2009 and we have since updated our guidance on trial completion."

About MedaSorb, CytoSorbents and CytoSorb™

MedaSorb Technologies Corporation, and its operating subsidiary CytoSorbents, is a therapeutic device company in clinical trials to treat severe sepsis, often called "overwhelming infection," with a novel blood purification device called CytoSorb™. Severe sepsis is typically caused by bacterial infections like pneumonia, or viral infections like influenza. It afflicts more than 1 million people in the United States and an estimated 18 million people worldwide each year, killing one in every three patients despite the best treatment. In the United States, more die from severe sepsis than from either heart attacks, strokes or any single form of cancer. Much of the organ failure and mortality in severe sepsis is caused by the abnormal massive production of cytokines by the immune system, often called "cytokine storm." CytoSorb™ is a cartridge containing highly porous polymer beads that are designed to filter cytokines and treat potentially fatal cytokine storm. As blood is pumped through the CytoSorb™ cartridge using standard dialysis equipment, the beads bind and remove cytokines and other toxins from blood. The treated blood is then returned to the patient. The Company is currently conducting its European Sepsis Trial -- a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial using its flagship CytoSorb™ device to treat up to 100 patients with severe sepsis in the setting of respiratory failure. Pending a successful trial, the Company will seek CE Mark approval and commercialization of CytoSorb™ in the European Union. CytoSorb™ is one of a number of different resins designed for different medical applications, including improved dialysis, the potential treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, treatment of rhabdomyolysis in trauma, removal of chemotherapy during treatment of cancer with high dose regional chemotherapy, drug detoxification and others.
