EXALT™ Model D Single-use Duodenoscope


EXALT™ Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope

Raise the standard of patient care with EXALT Model D, the world’s first single-use duodenoscope. Designed to provide the same high performance you expect from a reusable scope in a groundbreaking single-use form, EXALT Model D eliminates infection risk due to cross-contamination from ineffective reprocessing while also reducing associated operational cost for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.

Reduce cross-contamination

Eliminate the risk of post-ERCP infection due to ineffective reprocessing with a new, sterile duodenoscope for every patient.

Model D may benefit at-risk patients

Proven with peer-reviewed, published clinical data


Substantial clinical data has been published for the EXALT™ Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope

EXALT Model D peer-reviewed, published data, includes one trial where patients were consecutively enrolled. Explore the data and get physician perspectives about high-risk patient selection.

Muthusamy VR, et al. | Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2020

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

In a consecutive case series testing the feasibility, preliminary safety, and performance of a single-use duodenoscope, 60 ERCPs of all four 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

100%
100% of ERCP procedures were successfully performed
96.7%
96.7% of ERCP procedures were completed with EXALT Model D alone and 3.3% with crossover to a reusable duodenoscope
9/10
The median overall physician satisfaction for the EXALT Model D Single-Use duodenoscope scope by physicians was 9 out of 10

  

“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.”

Boston Scientific Endoscopy

Bang JY, et al. | Gut 2020

Equivalent performance of single-use and reusable duodenoscopes in a randomised trial2

This randomised trial of 98 patients compared the performance of the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope with reusable duodenoscopes in patients undergoing ERCP.

  • Overall technical performance and safety profile were similar between the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope and reusable duodenoscopes.
  • 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 as compared to reusable duodenoscopes.

Evaluation of the performance of a single-use duodenoscope: Prospective multi-center study3

In a consecutive case series evaluating the feasibility, safety and performance of a single-use duodenoscope, 60 ERCPs of all four ASGE complexity levels were completed across six sites in France for indications including pancreaticobiliary stone clearance, stent placement and/or removal and balloon dilation.

  • 95% of ERCP procedures were completed with EXALT Model D alone. Three procedures required cross-over to a reusable duodenoscope and were also unsuccessful.
  • The median overall physician satisfaction for the EXALT Model D Single-Use duodenoscope scope by physicians was 9 out of 10.
  • Demonstrates EXALT Model D’s pre-market clinical trial results can be independently reproduced.

EXALT™ Model D Single-use Duodenoscope

EXALTTM Model D case studies

EXALT Model D is the world’s first single-use duodenoscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures to be used across all ASGE complexity grades. Watch the case footage below to see how EXALT Model D offers maneuverability, stability and control in a wide variety of ERCP procedures.

Dr. Quin Liu of Cedars Sinai Medical Center uses EXALT Model D to perform an ERCP with stent exchange for a patient with history of liver transplant and resulting ischemic strictures. Model D was selected due to the patient’s history of antibiotic resistant bacteremia. 


Dr. Jeremy Barber of Spectrum Health uses EXALT Model D in a patient with a history of unresectable pancreatic cancer presenting with cholangitis secondary to an obstructed biliary stent.
