DC-XLEAR
24.3.2021 15:17:12 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Xlear has filed a Pre-Emergency Use Authorization (Pre-EUA) Request with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to make claims that the nasal spray is approved for use in preventing SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) transmission and infection. The Pre-EUA is a first step in seeking formal authorization of Xlear Nasal Spray as tool to help in combatting COVID-19.
Xlear previously filed a pre-EUA seeking approval for use of the nasal spray as a medical device in combatting COVID-19. However, because the FDA determined that Xlear “works against the virus,” the FDA told Xlear it would need to be considered as a drug or combination product EUA.
“Seeing that the FDA says Xlear works against the virus, we have decided to seek EUA approval as a drug,” said Nathan Jones, Xlear’s CEO.
Xlear’s Pre-EUA Request is based on recent studies showing the nasal spray is:
- virucidal (it kills the virus);
- antiviral (it blocks the adhesion of the virus to the nasal membrane, which is how most people get sick from COVID-19);
- antibacterial against streptococcus bacteria, which is the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia (a COVID-19 complication linked to morbidity); and,
- Reduces both the duration and severity of illness when used to treat COVID-19 patients.
Xlear is currently sold in over 50,000 pharmacies, grocery stores, and online as a nasal spray. “Xlear doesn’t require the EUA to be sold and used—we only need an EUA to be able to inform people about the benefits of using Xlear to protect themselves from COVID-19. It’s insane. Without the EUA, the Federal Trade Commission won’t let us simply inform people about new, published, independent scientific studies,” Jones added.
“We hope to move forward quickly with FDA to address gaps in current prevention and treatment strategies against SARS-CoV-2. People should be using Xlear as part of a layered defense to prevent getting COVID-19. If everyone used Xlear, in addition to taking other steps recommended by public health officials, we believe we could help the nation defeat COVID-19 faster,” Jones added.

Xsolla Releases The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition28.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New Data From More Than 800 Mobile Web Shops Finds Direct-to-Consumer Has Become a Standard Operating Discipline, With Top Performers Capturing More Than Half of a Title's Revenue Regardless of Studio Size Xsolla, a global commerce company, today released The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition, a new study examining how direct-to-consumer commerce is performing across mobile games. Drawing on data from more than 800 live Xsolla Web Shops alongside public market and regulatory data, the report shows that D2C has moved past the question of whether it works and into a new phase: studios seeing the strongest results are the ones treating their Web Shop as an operating discipline rather than a one-time build. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260928312597/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Three themes run through the report.

ZincFive Expands Nickel-Zinc Technology into In-Rack Backup and AI Dynamic Power Solutions28.9.2026 14:05:00 CEST | Press release
Applying proven high-rate nickel-zinc technology to in-rack backup and AI-driven transient power applications ZincFive®, the leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, today announced its expansion into in-rack energy storage with the development of Battery Backup Unit (BBU) and AI Dynamic Power Module (DPM) solutions designed to address the evolving energy storage requirements of AI data centers. As AI drives higher rack power densities and increasingly dynamic workloads, data center power architectures are evolving to manage both traditional backup requirements and rapid, repeated changes in power demand. These transient loads can place significant stress on electrical infrastructure, creating a growing need for power solutions closer to the rack that can respond quickly, safely, and reliably. Today’s rack-level technologies often require tradeoffs between energy capacity and dynamic power response. Traditional BBUs are primarily designed t
