Reddit users referenced a June 8 Zacks report about the Hemopurifier
A June 3 news release from the company said its Hemopurifier cartridge is designed to filter viruses and exosomes from the blood.
The device was used to treat two critically ill COVID-19 patients. They showed improvement while using the device, the company said.
The device has been designated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a breakthrough device treating patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
The FDA is currently conducting an early feasibility study of the device. This enables the company to work directly with sponsors and FDA review teams on the device.
Stocks that have been picked up on social-media sites like Reddit have seen sharp moves on the back of trading by small investors.
Last week, Bank of America pulled its coverage of Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) - Get Report after the stock jumped more than 60% on no news in one session and then dropped 28% the next.
