NeurAxis Inc. Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance of RED for Testing and Evaluation of Patients with Chronic Constipation
11 December 2024 - 1:00AM
NeurAxis, Inc. (“NeurAxis,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:
NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation
therapies addressing chronic and debilitating conditions in
children and adults, today announced the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) granted a 510(k) clearance for RED (Rectal
Expulsion Device), allowing NeurAxis to commercially market the
device for testing and evaluation of patients with chronic
constipation due to pelvic floor dyssynergia and who are unlikely
to improve with increased laxative use.
NeurAxis will begin the process of commercially
marketing RED and expects a soft launch in the first quarter of
2025 with a full launch expected in the second quarter of 2025.
Management believes that providers will be able to bring this
clinically beneficial technology to their practice immediately,
given its clinical need and total addressable market of roughly
$1.5 billion. There is currently a Category I CPT code assigned to
the procedure and the procedure is covered by Medicare and most
commercial insurance companies.
RED is a proprietary, self-inflating balloon
that evaluates a patient’s ability to expel contents from the
rectum. “For many patients with chronic constipation, traditional
laxative therapy does not work well because the problem is not
related to colon motility, but rather with the neuromuscular
function of the pelvic floor,” said Dr. Adrian Miranda, Chief
Medical Officer for NeurAxis. “Without proper testing, these
patients can be missed and continue to suffer with inadequate
treatments.” RED can also be used as a qualitative test for
rectal hypersensitivity. It will help identify patients who have an
exaggerated urge to defecate, which also changes the treatment
algorithm for patients with constipation.
“The RED 510(k) clearance is another important
achievement as we continue to build and expand our Gastroenterology
business and accelerate meaningful revenue growth towards our goal
of cash flow breakeven,” said Brian Carrico, President and Chief
Executive Officer of NeurAxis. “I am excited by our multiple
avenues of revenue and profitability growth, driven by the
expansion of insurance coverage and age indication of our IB-Stim
product for pediatric FAP/IBS and our commercial launch of RED.
Looking out beyond 2025, we are excited to pursue expanded
indications with the FDA, using our PENFS technology, including
adult FAP/IBS and pediatric/adult Functional Dyspepsia,” Mr.
Carrico concluded.
