Healthcare professionals / Gastroenterology / EXALT^TM Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope / Clinical / Clinical Trial Data

Clinically Verified¹

“We decided to do a trial, even through 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

 

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.

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
