Citra Anticoagulants, Inc. a leading, developer and worldwide distributor of citrate-based anticoagulants reported that it has received CE Mark approval for LOXXIT™ Catheter Lock Solution. This regulatory achievement clears the way for Citra to market and distribute this product throughout the European Union and in other countries that recognize the CE Mark.

LOXXIT™ Catheter Lock Solution, 46.7% Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, 5 mL, is a sterile solution that prevents the coagulation of blood, eliminates the growth of microorganisms in any type of intravenous catheter, and prevents biofilm formation because it eliminates the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi in the catheter lumen. LOXXIT™ is a preventive-action product and was designed to prevent problems from occurring rather than treating problems that have occurred.

In September 2007, Citra signed an exclusive Marketing Services Agreement with H.A.C. Pharma which appoints H.A.C. Pharma as the sole representative to promote the marketing and sales activities of LOXXIT™ Catheter Lock Solution to distributors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

For more information on LOXXIT™ Catheter Lock Solution, contact H.A.C. Pharma if you are located in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, or contact Citra Anticoagulants, Inc. for the rest of the world.
