EU notifying body GMED reinstated the CE Mark for Endologix’s Nellix stent graft system in June, following a suspension in January triggered by a halt to unrestricted sales of the stent grafts and a voluntary recall of all existing inventory. Nellix was designed for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms and is only approved as an investigational device in the United States. The company’s Ovation Alto system is only approved as an investigational device and is not currently approved in any market.
Also last week, the FDA yesterday gave Endologix an IDE exemption approval to begin a pivotal study on its Nellix Chimney endovascular aneurysm sealing device (ChEVAS) system. CheVAS was designed to combine the Nellix 3.5 endograft with parallel visceral stents to enable treatment of patients with juxta-renal, para-renal, and suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
