Prospectus Summary, page 1
1.We note that you have added prominent images after your prospectus cover page. We do
not object to graphics that solely feature your products. However, it is not appropriate
to include images that present only the most favorable aspects of your business,
are marketing or advertising materials, or do not provide nor enhance relevant and
meaningful disclosure that investors can use to make an informed investment decision.
For guidance, refer to Question 101.02 of Securities Act Forms Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations and revise or remove accordingly.
2.Please revise the summary to prominently highlight the potential conflicts of interest of
your officers and directors addressed in the new risk factor on page 59.

AllergyCast application. Please revise to explain why you do not believe that this

U.S. With respect to these offerings that are not available in the U.S., please explain
whether these offerings are not cosidered to be medical devices in the countries where

Reverse Transition Services Agreement, the transition manufacturing agreements, and
Data Transfer and Sharing Agreement, or advise. Refer to Comment 16 of our September

disclosure to disclose all material terms of the agreements. For example, explain the
global parameters underlying the Trademark Coexistence Agreement. As another
