The multi-millionaire donor is chairman of health company Ellume, which claims its hand-held device can diagnose the flu in under two minutes, without the help of a doctor. 9News

But Mr Darrouzet, and the company stressed he was not involved in applying for the taxpayer-funded cash, the company said, "It is not an area that the Board of Directors has involvement in."

In late-May, after the federal election, Health Minister Greg Hunt asked Australia's regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration to review the use here of devices, like Ellume's. "Both the Secretary and I have the powers to do this through a making of a legislative instrument, but we wouldn't contemplate it without Ministerial support."

In a statement to 9News Paul Darrouzet stressed he "never met with Greg Hunt in his capacity as Health Minister nor previously discussed any matters relating to Ellume with him."
