Biomoneta is preparing to expand beyond its home market with about US$3 million in new funding on the horizon. The company makes a hospital-grade device that kills airborne microbes and has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to the company, the goal is to bring its infection prevention technology to global markets. The funding has not yet closed, and details such as investors, valuation and target regions were not provided.

Why it matters

Airborne pathogens are a persistent challenge for hospitals, where infections acquired in care settings put vulnerable patients at risk. A device that has cleared FDA review gives Biomoneta a regulatory credential that can help in conversations with hospital buyers, although approval requirements differ from country to country.

What comes next

Once the round is finalised, Biomoneta is expected to put the capital toward its international push. Further specifics on rollout plans and timing have not been disclosed.
