Summary
The FDA has officially ended the emergency use approval for ExThera Medical’s Seraph 100 blood filter as of November 24, 2025. This means hospitals and patients can no longer use this device under emergency rules. The change was requested by the company, so no surprise bills or sudden costs are expected.
