those issues we have
addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to
provide us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration
statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview, page 85
1. Please expand your
discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the sale of
a substantial portion
of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the
market price of the
company's common stock.
2. We note that the
projected revenues for Q2-Q4 2022 were $784,250, as set forth in the
unaudited prospective
financial information Cardio s management team prepared and
provided to MANA in
connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. We
also note that you did
not appear to report any actual revenues for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2022. It
appears that you will miss your projection unless you expect to

have revenue in Q4 2022. Please update your disclosure in Liquidity and
Capital
Resources, and elsewhere, to provide updated information about the
company s financial
position and further risks to the business operations and liquidity in
light of these
circumstances or otherwise advise.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 89
3. In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood
that the company
will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because
of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price
of the common
stock, please expand your discussion of capital resources to address any
changes in the
company s liquidity position since the Business Combination. If the
company is likely to
have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on
the company s ability
to raise additional capital.
General
4. We note the disclosure on the cover page of the likelihood that warrant
holders will not
exercise their warrants because the warrants are out the money. Provide
similar disclosure
in your risk factor section and disclose that cash proceeds associated
with the exercises of
the warrants are dependent on the stock price.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please
allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
Please contact Cindy Polynice at 202-551-8707 or Jason Drory at
202-551-8342 with any
other questions.
