ABL SA group acquires Berlin based Medtech company Humedics

ABL SA acquires the company Humedics Gmbh to extend the use of a robust, well-known, and CE-marked technology intended to be used for liver function measurement.  Financial terms are not disclosed.

Doctor Chalom Sayada, founder of the ABL SA and managing director of the Humedics declared: “We are proud to take over Humedics, and help promoting and expanding such a technology at the international level.”

A new dedicated strategy is planned for supporting the growth of the Berlin-based company in the future and to establish the LiMAx test as the gold standard for liver function measurement worldwide. In cooperation with well-known scientific institutions, the Humedics technology, which was originally developed for use in liver surgery, is to be expanded to the entire hepatological area, thereby avoiding invasive medical interventions in the future. Finally, remarked Dr. Chalom Sayada: “We are convinced that by acquiring the technology and the know-how of the employees, we will create added value for the benefit of patients.”

About Humedics

Based in Berlin, Germany, Humedics GmbH is specialised in rapid and accurate liver function measurement using the LiMAx® test, an innovative technology for analysing exhaled air. The LiMAx® test provides physicians with a method for quantitatively assessing an individual patient’s liver function capacity within minutes. This enables physicians to select treatment strategies and follow disease progression based on up-to-date knowledge of the functional health of the liver.
 
Current applications, which have already been published in prestigious medical journals, include liver function diagnosis before and after liver transplantation, surgical planning for liver surgery (such as assessing how much liver tissue can be removed without increasing the risk of acute liver failure), and assessment of liver diseases such as fibrosis and cirrhosis.
 
At present, more than 20 studies regarding new diagnostic indications are being conducted. These include diagnosing and staging of chronic liver diseases such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), as well as selecting, monitoring and managing different oncology treatment options. These studies, initiated by researchers, have already provided evidence of further potential for the LiMAx® tests.
 
The LiMAx® test is in routine clinical use at more than 30 leading university hospitals in Europe. So far, more than 20,000 LiMAx® tests have been performed. The LiMAx® test is commercially available in Germany, Austria and the UK.
