FDA clears Ares robot-assisted bronchoscopy device from Auris Surgical Robotics
The FDA last month granted 510(k) clearance to the Ares robot-assisted bronchoscopy platform developed by stealthy Auris Surgical Robotics.
San Carlos, Calif.-based Auris was co-founded by medical robotics pioneer Dr. Frederic Moll, who’s behind a slew of other startups in the space, including market leader Intuitive Surgical (NSDQ:ISRG); Mako Surgical, acquired in 2013 for $1.7 billion by Stryker (NYSE:SYK); Restoration Robotics and its Artas hair restoration platform; and Hansen Medical, which Auris agreed to acquire for $80 million in April.

The real costs of clinical research
In 1996 The University of Rochester was offering $150 to volunteers for what was designed to be a minimal-risk research study. To 19-year-old Nicole (Hoiyan) Wan, a hundred and fifty dollars meant being able to afford a trip home to see her parents in Queens, New York. Nicole, like many college students, found the money offered on a campus flier for participation in the clinical research study to be extremely enticing. Back in Queens, New York, Mr. and Mrs. Wan were unaware of their daughter’s intention to enroll in any study.
The study was focused on the mechanism by which the lungs defend against infection and pollutan...

Medtronic’s Navigate lung trial enrolls 1st European patient
Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) said today that it enrolled the 1st European patient in a huge, real-world study of the SuperDimension lung device it acquired along with Covidien early last year.
The 2-year, 2,500-patient Navigate trial is designed to evaluate the performance of the LungGPS electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy technology the SuperDimension device uses to navigate the lungs. The single-arm post-market study also aims to measure how often doctors use the system to obtain biopsies from surrounding lymph nodes and place markers to guide future procedures, Medtronic said.
The 1st EU patient in the trial was enrolle...

Uptake Medical touts InterVapor study results indicating improved lung function
Uptake Medical said today that data from a study recently published in the journal Lancet indicated that patients who underwent therapy using the company’s InterVapor system experienced statistically significant benefits in both lung function and quality of life.
The InterVapor uses heated water vapor to reduce bronchoscopic lung volume in patients with heterogenous upper lobe emphysema, the company said.
The results are from the company’s Step-Up randomized, controlled, multi-center, multi-national study designed to evaluate the safety and performance of its Intervapor system.
“Non-surgical bronchoscopi...

Uptake Medical launches InterVapor lung device
Uptake Medical said today it launched a registry trial of its InterVapor system to investigate long-term clinical results in severe emphysema patients.
The InterVapor uses heated water vapor to reduce bronchoscopic lung volume in patients with heterogenous upper lobe emphysema, the company said.
“Until InterVapor, severe emphysema was typically treated either by requiring patients to undergo highly invasive open surgical lobectomy, or applying foreign material into their lungs. InterVapor offers a less-invasive, bronchoscopic approach that allows clinicians to limit treatment only to the discrete portions of a patien...
