Massdevice features Auris Health’s ACCESS study results, which were first announced at CHEST 2018 in San Antonio, Texas by Dr. Alexander Chen from Washington University in St. Louis. This study was the follow-up to the REACH study, which focused on the Monarch Platform’s ability to reach deeper into the lung’s periphery. With the ACCESS study, eight investigators performed robotic-assisted procedures using the Monarch Platform on a cadaveric model designed to mimic a real-life bronchoscopy procedure.
“Our mission is to enable diagnosis of lung cancer earlier in its progression, through the least-invasive approach – via the body’s natural openings,” said Frederic Moll, M.D., founder and CEO of Auris Health, in a prepared statement. “We are pleased with the performance the Monarch Platform demonstrated in the REACH and ACCESS studies, and look forward to further assessing the system’s benefits in prospective human clinical trials in the near future.”

Complications from bronchoscopy are rare and most often minor, but if they occur, may include breathing difficulty, vocal cord spasm, hoarseness, slight fever, vomiting, dizziness, bronchial spasm, infection, low blood oxygen, bleeding from biopsied site, or an allergic reaction to medications. Only rarely do patients experience other more serious complications (for example, collapsed lung, respiratory failure, heart attack and/or cardiac arrhythmia).
Urology:
Adverse effects from both Mini-PCNL and Ureteroscopy include pain, urinary tract infection, fever, hematuria (presence of blood in urine), exposure to low levels of radiation, retained or residual stones.
Adverse effects from ureteroscopy may include pain, perforation or injury to the ureter, resulting in extravasation of fluid and urine (urinoma), stricture of the ureter with risk of subsequent obstruction (hydronephrosis needing further repair), rare avulsion of the ureter, urinary blood clots, residual stones.
PCNL access may result in minor and major adverse effects. Minor effects include fever and nephrostomy leak. Major adverse effects may include injuries to pleura, liver, spleen, large vessels with related bleeding, gallbladder, duodenum, jejunum, colon with related cutaneous fistula, fever, pain, ileus, elevated counts.
Major adverse effects related to stone removal may include infection and urosepsis, intravascular fluid overload, extravasation of fluid, and post percutaneous nephrolithotomy bleeding.
