Medical Device Firm Unveils Product for Relieving Hay Fever Symptoms

Medical device company Fluo Labs showed at virtual CES 2021 a working prototype of a product designed to provide relief from seasonal allergies. The Flo uses light therapy to release histamines and reduce inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. It uses photobiomodulation to trigger physical and chemical reactions that can improve cells’ performance and health responses, said the company, which completed one clinical trial and has two more planned. It's pursuing Food and Drug Administration approval for Flo’s use as an over-the-counter device. Projected list price is under $100, with availability planned for early next year.
