New Blood Substitute?

Is this a new product? Found the article with today's date (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0416010221.htm) , reminds me of a failed product of years ago.

The description is: "an inorganic compound with the cumbersome name dodecaflouropentane emulsion, or DDFPe, a fluorocarbon-based compound used originally as a contrast medium for taking ultrasound images that University at Buffalo researchers are developing as a blood substitute." "The key to this product's ability to prevent hemorrhagic shock lies in the capacity of the emulsion's invisible droplets to expand at body temperature into microbubbles small enough to pass through capillaries, and the strong affinity of the microbubbles for oxygen. If sufficient circulation remains to carry the bubbles to the lungs, they can pick up oxygen and deliver it to tissues."

Thanks for your service.
