In accordance with FDA requirements, the company is preparing to conduct a full preclinical study of its final human-use device in up to 24 additional sheep.

The company has successfully completed a two sheep protocol pilot trial in November 2023, and is now preparing to expand the study. The ZC-1-A device was confirmed as 100% safe for use, with findings concluded from the Shamir Medical Center.  

Conclusions from the Shamir Medical Center: two healthy, naïve sheep were exposed to intravaginal pulsating blue light for 3 hours using the Zero Candida ZC-1-A device. After the illumination procedure, both animals were examined postmortem and autopsy showed no abnormal findings. Pathological evaluation of the relevant harvested organs showed no signs of thermal lesions or other pathological changes. The pathology laboratory declared the Zero Candida ZC-1-A blue light illumination device safe to use.

The ZC-1-A device combines a therapeutic light source with a selected wave-length and intensity to not only destroy Vulvo-Vaginal Candidiasis ("VVC") at record speed, but is also AI-driven to transmit data in real-time to the attending physician for hybrid medicine and personalized treatment consulting. More commonly known as yeast infections, VVC affects 3 out of 4 women globally, and ZCT is providing a solution that addresses the root cause, without chemicals or side effects, breaking down barriers in this space. Zero-Candida technology (ZCT) is FemTech developing an AI smart tampon-like device based on therapeutic light source with a selected wave-length and intensity that can treat the Candida fungus successfully of 99.999% an POC overnight. Vulvo-Vaginal Candidiasis ("VVC") affects about 75% of women globally, ZCT device is a Game changer that has the potential to change the treatment of women and the FemTech industry in the world. The first of its kind technology using a controlled "Blue Light," destroys the vagina fungus at record speed and without side effects. The treatment is Safety & carried out by a tampon-like medical device which, according to medical experts, provides an optimal solution for removing the fungus altogether and preventing the recurrence of the disease.

Zero Candida is working on creating a technology to enable the hybrid medicine services to be provided by gynecologists to populations that until now received no treatment at all, including, among others, in the developing countries. The ZCT device is Collect and transmits treatment data to the attending physician in real time, for assessment, treatment personalization and monitoring. Seamless data transfer through Wi-Fi chip and VoIP, allows for the convenience of remote care and treatment consulting.  Another significant advantage of the Zero Candida device is treatment without side effects, supporting growing demand from women to improve their health without the use of chemicals.
