The peace of predictability.
Post-op predictability you can count on with the EX-PRESS® Glaucoma Filtration Device.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. INDICATION: The EX-PRESS®
Glaucoma Filtration Device is intended to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients where medical and conven- tional surgical treatments have failed. CLINICAL STUDY INFORMATION: A clinical study was performed with the EX-PRESS® Glaucoma Filtration Device versions R-30 and R-50. The study was a prospective, open-label multi-center
study of 113 open angle glaucoma patients with a follow-up period of one year. Results indicated an 80.4% overall success for the per-protocol cohort (R-30 and R-50, n=58) at one year, where overall success was defined as an IOP reduction greater than 20% from baseline with or without medications. Results indicated a 75.9% overall success for the per-protocol cohort (R-30 and R-50, n=58) at one year, where overall success was defined as an IOP of less than 21 mmHg with or without medications. The mean IOP reduction at one year was 33.8%. The percentage reduction from baseline was greater than 28% for the R-30 version and greater than 40% for the R-50 version. The overall average number of glaucoma medications dropped significantly from 1.55 pre-operative to 0.52 medications at one-year postoperative. The clinical study was not designed to compare between the various versions of the EX-PRESS® Glaucoma Filtration Device. The selection of the appropriate version is according to the doctor’s discretion. The most commonly reported adverse events included the need for further filtering surgery, device explantation, bleb revi- sion and iris touch. Reasons for device explantation included flat anterior chamber with hypotony, device exposure from erosion, and poor efficacy. Other adverse events such as, but not limited to, corneal and retinal complications, uveitis, and significant reduction in visual acuity, may occur as well. CONTRAINDICATIONS: The use of this device is contraindicated if one or more of the following conditions exist: Presence of ocular disease such as uveitis, ocular infection, severe dry eye, severe blepharitis; pre-existing ocular or systemic pathology that, in the opinion of the surgeon, is likely to cause postoperative complications following implantation of the device or patients diagnosed with angle closure glaucoma. WARNINGS/PRECAUTIONS: The surgeon should be familiar with the instructions for use. The integrity of the package should be examined prior to use and the device should not be used if the package is damaged and sterility is compromised. This device is for single use only. MRI of the head is permitted, however not recommended, in the first two weeks post implantation. ATTENTION: Reference the Directions for Use labeling for a complete listing of indications, warnings and precautions.
