us, such as Barrett's esophagus. The HALO90 ablation system, by comparison, is an electrode system that is mounted on the end of an endoscope, allowing the physician to treat focal areas of diseased tissue in the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum and anus. Both HALO systems provide uniform and controlled therapy at a consistent depth, which enables removal of diseased tissue and regrowth of normal cells. Both systems are cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, have CE mark certification in Europe, and are commercially available in the U.S. and other selected countries. Based in Sunnyvale, Calif., BARRX Medical, Inc. is a privately held company. Additional information about BARRX Medical, Inc. and the HALO ablation systems is available at http://www.barrx.com.
