The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $456,864 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to evaluate the potential of a novel antimicrobial blue light (ABL) emitting envelope for controlling infections related to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). The two-year project aims to assess the anti-biofilm efficacy of the ABL envelope in both in vitro and in vivo rabbit model studies, as well as evaluate its safety. The successful completion of this research will provide initial preclinical evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of this novel approach to reduce the risk of CIED infections.
