Spectranetics Announces Clinical Data From Cello Trial
Date:10/24/2007

The six-month data from the CELLO trial demonstrates the ability of laser ablation facilitated by the TURBO-Booster to safely restore blood flow in the superficial femoral artery and significantly improve clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral arterial disease up to six months following the procedure," said Dr. Rajesh Dave, national principal investigator of the CELLO trial and chairman, Endovascular Medicine, Pinnacle Health Heart and Vascular Institute at Harrisburg Hospital. "Many patients suffer unnecessarily from pain in the legs and feet that can drastically impact active lifestyles. The TURBO-Booster represents a viable treatment option for those patients with peripheral arterial disease."

Spectranetics' TURBO-Booster functions as a guiding catheter facilitating directed ablation of blockages in the main arteries at or above the knee. The TURBO-Booster combined with Spectranetics' Turbo elite(TM) laser catheters allows for removal of large amounts of plaque material within the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal arteries.

"With conclusive data on the effectiveness of the TURBO-Booster product, Spectranetics is working with physicians to improve the lives of the millions suffering from blocked arteries above the knee. Our laser ablation system is easy to use and effective at getting patients back on their feet and engaged in active lifestyles, " said John G. Schulte, Spectranetics' president and CEO. "Since receiving FDA clearance in July, several hundred procedures have been performed, with more than 180 accounts placing their initial order and nearly 45 percent of those having already re-ordered. Our limited market release of TURBO-Booster is right on schedule and we plan to complete this initial phase of our market launch in the current quarter."
