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.”

60

Human use clinical trial patients

 In a consecutive case series of the EXALT Model D Duodenoscope, 60 ERCPs, of all 4 ASGE complexity levels, were completed across six sites in the United States for indications including pancreaticobiliary stone clearance, stent placement, exchange and/or removal and balloon dilation.1

96.7%

ERCP procedures completed with EXALT alone

 All ERCP procedures were successfully performed, of which 96.7% were completed with the single-use duodenoscope alone and 3.3% with crossover to a reusable duodenoscope.

Clinical evaluation of a single-use duodenoscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2019 Nov 6. pii: S1542-3565(19)31261-3. doi: 10.1016/j.cgh.2019.10.052. [Epub ahead of print]

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

   

Results:

46 out of 48 patients were successfully cannulated using the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope. 
Median number of attempts to achieve successful cannulation was significantly lower for the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope..
Overall technical performance and safety profile were similar between the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope and reusable duodenoscopes.

Conclusion:

Given the overall safety profile and similar technical performance, the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope represents an alternative to reusable duodenoscopes for performing low-complexity ERCP procedures in experienced hands.
