For your convenience, the text of the Staff’s comments is set forth below in bold, followed in each case by the Company’s responses. Please note that all references to page numbers in the responses are references to the page numbers in revised and amended registration statement (the “Amended Filing”), filed concurrently with the submission of this letter in response to the Staff’s comments.

1. | We note your disclosure that on May 1, 2020, your parent company, Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd, filed a submission with the FDA for the Saliva Glucose Biosensor Diagnostic Test. Given the passage of time, please update your disclosure to indicate the status of your submission. |
Response: Following the Company’s 513(g) submission to the FDA (dated May 1, 2020), the FDA staff determined that the Company was eligible to pursue the De Novo application pathway for the Saliva Glucose Biosensor Diagnostic Test and appointed an Acting Branch Chief from the Diabetes Diagnostic Devices Branch as the contact person for the matter. The Company has commenced planning discussions with the FDA Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health and the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality pertaining to the clinical development and study plan of the Saliva Glucose Biosensor. LSBD has completed the supplier evaluation process and identified a suitable partner to implement the clinical plan once approved by the FDA. The Amended Filing disclosures have been updated to reflect the foregoing on page 1.
