The clinical trial will evaluate the short term and extended impact on on respiration, pulmonary function and cardiovascular function in C2Rx treatment verse Standard of Care (SOC) in critically ill adults with COVID-19 infections .
Device: C2Rx

goal of this study is that T0 will occur within 24 hours of tracheal intubation to
support invasive mechanical ventilation.
- Age 18 to 80 years.

- Irreversible brain damage based on available historical and clinical information.
- Presence of any solid organ transplant at any time.
- Patients with stem cell transplant in the previous 100 days or who have not engrafted.
- Acute or chronic use of circulatory support device such as extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO), left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), right ventricular assist
devices (RVADs), biventricular assist devices (BIVADs).
- Metastatic malignancy which is actively being treated or may be treated with
chemotherapy or radiation during the subsequent three-month period after study
treatment.
- Chronic immunosuppression defined as use of any immunosuppressant medications
(cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, rituximab, mycophenolate,

(without the use of an investigative device or drug), are allowed to participate. Any
communication between the Principal Investigator (PI) of this Protocol and the PI of
any other clinical study will include the Medical Director of the Sponsor; all such
correspondence will be documented.
- Any reason the Investigator deems exclusionary
