## About

Based in Nebraska, US, and founded in 2022 by CEO James Young, University Medical Devices, Inc., doing business as MicroWash, develops nasal testing devices to collect specimens from the nose. In February 2024, University Medical Devices raised USD 1.6 million in seed funding, co-led by investors Bright Minds Capital Partners and Invest Nebraska.


The company's flagship product, MicroWash, is a self-contained nasal irrigation device designed for collecting nasopharyngeal specimens to speed up the testing process, is less invasive and comfortable for both patients and healthcare professionals. The device utilizes a gentle saline solution to collect specimens from the nasopharynx without the use of swabs, reducing discomfort. The MicroWash collects accurate samples for diagnosing COVID-19, RSV, influenza, and other respiratory illnesses.


The company plans to use the February 2024 funding to improve its infrastructure, which includes production, packaging, sales, marketing, legal, medical, and regulatory aspects.
