In Clinical Use
Clinically Verified1
"We decided to do a trial, even though it wasn’t mandated by the FDA which is fairly unprecedented. We wanted to reassure physicians that EXALT Model D was not going to compromise the quality of the procedure. We had expert clinicians who know the nuances of the procedure confirm that EXALT Model D performed as expected. The feedback we received from clinicians as part of this trial was invaluable.”
Dr. Brian Dunkin, Chief Medical Officer, Boston Scientific Endoscopy

Clinical evaluation of a single-use duodenoscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Evaluating Equivalent Performance of Single-Use and Reusable Duodenoscopes2
“Single-use duodenoscopes have been recently developed to eliminate risk of infection transmission from contaminated reusable duodenoscopes. We compared performances of single-use [EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope] and reusable duodenoscopes [Olympus TJF-180] in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).” 2
