Endologix develops, manufactures, markets, and sells medical devices for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States and internationally.
Endologix's products are intended for the minimally invasive endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. One of the Company's products is built on the platform of endovascular sealing ("EVAS"). Endologix's current EVAS product is the Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System ("Nellix EVAS System").
The Nellix EVAS System is currently engaged in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") premarket approval process (the "PMA process"), which requires Endologix to collect and submit nonclinical and human clinical data on Nellix EVAS System for its intended use to demonstrate that it is safe and effective. In the PMA process, the FDA will approve the medical device and thereby authorize its commercial distribution in the U.S. if it determines that the probable benefits outweigh the risks for the intended patient population, and, therefore, makes a determination of reasonable assurances of safety and effectiveness.
In December 2013, Endologix received Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") approval in the United States to begin a clinical trial for the Nellix EVAS System, which commenced in January 2014 (the "IDE Study"). Enrollment in the IDE study was completed in November 2014. In the third quarter of 2015, Endologix obtained IDE continued access approval for additional patients.
