OrbusNeich® Announces FDA PMA Approval for the Scoreflex® NC Scoring PTCA Catheter

HONG KONG [January 20, 2022] – OrbusNeich Medical Co. Ltd. has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Premarket Approval (PMA) for the Scoreflex® NC Scoring PTCA Catheter.

The Scoreflex NC is a scoring PTCA catheter indicated for the de novo stenotic portion of a coronary artery and in-stent restenosis in coronary arteries in patients evident with coronary ischemia, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.

A pivotal clinical study was performed in the U.S. in twelve investigational sites, with 200 patients being treated. The results of the Scoreflex NC – Scoring PTCA Catheter Clinical Study support the acute safety and device success and its intended use as a dilatation catheter in the stenotic portion of a coronary artery stenosis (≥70% diameter stenosis).

“Since its launch into the global market, outside the US, in 2017, the Scoreflex  NC has become an invaluable addition to the cardiologists’ toolbox for lesions preparation especially in calcified arteries. We are very pleased to receive FDA PMA approval and are confident our product will be well received by US physicians and will have the same impact as seen in other territories.”
