Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 3 – Liquidity and Summary of Significant Accounting Principles Liquidity Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, lack of operating history, and uncertainty of future profitability and pos sible fluctuations in financial results. Since our inception, we have financed our operations by raising debt, issuing equity and equity-linked instruments, and executing licensing arrangements, and to a lesser extent by generating royalties and product revenues. We have incurred, and continue to incur, recurring losses and negative cash flows. On the Effective Date, the obligations of the Company under the Deerfield Facility Agreement and the DIP Credit Agreement were cancelled and the Company ceased to have any obligations thereunder. At December 31, 2016, $2.6 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, and potential other funding sources, including cash on hand, to meet our obligations as they become due. After our emergence from bankruptcy on May 5, 2015, combined with the $3.0 June 30, 2017, March 2018. However, if we are unable to increase our revenues significantly or control our costs as effectively as expected, then we may second third 2017, December 31, 2017, additional capital beyond the Backstop Commitment More specifically, if we are unable to increase revenues or control costs in this manner, we may may We believe, based on the operating cash requirements and capital expenditures expected for 2017, cash on hand at December 31, 2016, $3.0 11 Equity and Stock-Based Compensation ), which is available June 30, 2017 , is adequate to fund operations for at least twelve As noted in Note 2 – Fresh Start Accounting Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been p repared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the Company applied fresh start accounting, resulting in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes (see Note 2 Fresh Start Accounting May 5, 2016 Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary Aldagen, Inc. (“ Aldagen”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and l iabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, the application of fresh start accounting, stock-based compensation, allowance for inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of derivative liabilities, contingent liabilities, fair value and depreciable lives of long-lived assets (including property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill), deferred taxes and associated valuation allowance and the classification of our long-term debt. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Credit Concentration We generate accounts receivable from th e sale of our products. Specific customer receivables balances in excess of 10% December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Successor Predecessor December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Customer A 58 % 47 % Customer B 10 % 21 % Revenue from significant customers exceeding 10% Period from May 5, 2016 through December 31, 2016 Period from January 1, 2016 through May 4, 2016 Year ended December 31, 2015 Successor Predecessor Predecessor Customer B $ - $ 78% $ 67% Customer C - - 26% Customer D 22% - - Customer E 16% - - Historically, we used single suppliers for several components of the Aurix™ product line. We outsource the manufacturing of various products to contract manufacturers. While we believe these manufacturers demonstrate competency, reliability and stability, there is no assurance that one Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk, as approximately $2.4 $250,000 December 31, 2016. Accounts Receivables We generate accounts receivables from the sale of our products. We provide for an allowanc e against receivables for estimated losses that may December 31, 2016 2015, $409,000 $97,000, December 31, 2016. Inventory Our inventory is produced by third first first ut basis and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We maintain an inventory of kits, reagents, and other disposables that have shelf-lives that generally range from 18 two As of December 31, 2016, of $18,123 $59,798 December 31, 2015, $115,792 $196,500 We provide for an allowance against inventory for estimated losses that may ’s remaining shelf-life and our anticipated ability to sell such inventory, which is estimated using historical usage and future forecasts, within its remaining shelf life. At December 31, 2016 2015, $8,000 $58,000, P roperty and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated, using the straight-line method, over its estimated useful life ranging from one four four six three six Ce ntrifuges may Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may rability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability measurement and estimating of undiscounted cash flows is done at the lowest possible level for which we can identify assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Predecessor intangible assets and goodwill In the Predecessor Company financial statements, intangible assets were acquired as part of our acquisition of the Angel business and Aldagen, and consisted of definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangibl e assets, including goodwill. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, $22.6 September 30, 2015, $1.1 zero. December 31, 2015, In conjunction with the application of fresh start accounting, all remaining definite lived intangible assets were written off as of the Effective Date (See Note 2 – Fresh Start Accounting Successor intangible assets and goodwill In the Successor Company financial statements, intangible assets were established as part of fresh start accounting and relate to trademarks, technology, clinician relationships, and goodwill (see Note 2 – Fresh Start Accounting Our definite-lived intangible assets include trademarks, technology (including patents), and clinician relationships, and are amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance s indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may Goodwill represents the excess of reorganization value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangib le assets and the fair value of liabilities as of the Effective Date. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to periodic review for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually, as of October 1, one Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, we first ive factors relevant to our reporting unit. When performing the qualitative assessment, we evaluate events and circumstances that would affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the goodwill. Events and circumstances evaluated include: macroeconomic conditions that could affect us, industry and market considerations for the medical device industry that could affect us, cost factors that could affect our performance, our financial performance (including share price), and consideration of any company specific events that could negatively affect us, our business, or the fair value of our business. If we determine that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, we will then apply detailed testing methodologies. Otherwise, we will conclude that no impairment has occurred. Detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of our one l impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second second one one one Successor Company intangible assets and goodwill were not impaired as of December 31, 2016. Co nditionally Redeemable Common Stock The Maryland Venture Fund (“ MVF,” part of Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development) had an investment in the Predecessor Company’s common stock, and could have required us to repurchase the common stock, at MVF’s option, upon certain events outside of our control. MVF’s common stock was classified as “contingently redeemable common shares” in the Predecessor Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The contingently redeemable common shares were cancelled as of the Effective Date. Revenue Recognition – Successor Company We recognize revenue when the four (1) (2) been rendered; (3) (4) We provide for the sale of our products, including disposable processing sets and supplies to customers. Revenue from the sale of products is recogni zed upon shipment of products to the customers. We do not maintain a reserve for returned products, as in the past those returns have not been material and are not expected to be material in the future. Percentage-based fees on licensee sales of covered products are generally recorded as products are sold by licensees, and are reflected as royalties in the consolidated statements of operations. Direct costs associated with product sales and royalty revenues are recorded at the time that revenue is recognized. Revenue Recognition – Predecessor Company The Predecessor Company provided for the sale of our products, including disposable processing sets and supplies to customers, and to Arthrex as distributor of the Angel product line. Revenue from the sale of pr oducts was recognized upon shipment. Usage or leasing of blood separation equipment As a result of the acquisition of the Angel business, we acquired various multiple element revenue arrangements that combined the (i) usage or leasing of blood separation processing equipment, (ii) maintenance of processing equipment, and (iii) purchase of disposable processing sets and supplies. We assigned these multiple element revenue arrangements to Arthrex in 2013 Deferred revenue at December 31, 2015 ted of prepaid licensing revenue of approximately $1.0 $0.1 $0.14 January 1, 2016 May 4, 2016. $0.4 December 31, 2015.

The Company recognizes an expense for such awards throughout the performance period as the services are provided by the non-employees, based on the fair value of these options and warrants at each reporting period. The fair value of stock options and compensatory warrants issued to service providers utilizes the same methodology with the exception of the expected term. For awards to non-employees, the Company estimates that the options or warrants will be held for the full term. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted. All of our tax years remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. For the year ended December 31, 2015, elates exclusively to a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization for tax purposes of the Predecessor Company’s goodwill. The deferred tax liability was eliminated in the third 2015 The Company ’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. There were no such items in 2016 2015. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (includ ing contingently issuable shares when the contingencies have been resolved) during the period. For periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all dilutive potential common shares is a nti-dilutive. For periods of net income, and when the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding (including contingently issuable shares when the contingencies have been resolved) plus the impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common stock options and stock purchase warrants using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt using the if-converted method. All of the Company ’s outstanding stock options and warrants were considered anti-dilutive for the periods from January 1, 2016 May 4, 2016, May 5, 2016 December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015.

If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendment is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, may January 1, 2016; In April 2015, a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, in the same manner as debt discounts, rather than as an asset.

Under the guidance, an acquirer will be required to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The guidance requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. January 1, 2016; In August 2014, ’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Previously, there was no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This was issued to provide guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, December 31, 2016; Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, ASB issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance.

Under the guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation awards are to be recognized as income tax expenses or benefits in the income statement, and excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Under the guidance, companies can also elect to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, or account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, the guidance amends some of the other stock-based compensation awards guidance to more clearly articulate the requirements and cash flow presentation for withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, In March 2016, debt hosts. The amendments of this guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, In June 2016, financial instruments, including trade receivables.
