Inogen Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for SIMEOX 200 Airway Clearance Device
December 30 2024 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Inogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN), a medical technology company
offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare
setting, today announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the SIMEOX 200 Airway
Clearance Device, expanding the company’s ability to market and
meet the various needs of patients with chronic respiratory
diseases in the U.S.
SIMEOX 200 is the next-generation of the original Simeox
(currently available in select international markets). It is
intended to promote and improve bronchial drainage by enhancing
mobilization of bronchial secretions via high frequency oscillatory
vibrations and intermittent negative pressure to the airway during
exhalation. The device is intended to be prescribed for use in
patients capable of independently generating cough. SIMEOX 200 is
predominantly aimed to help patients with chronic lung diseases
associated with mucus hypersecretion and mucus retention, such as
Bronchiectasis, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases),
Cystic Fibrosis or Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
“We are very excited to receive FDA clearance for the innovative
SIMEOX 200 therapy for patients in the U.S.,” said Kevin Smith,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “By tapping into our
well-established network of healthcare providers, B2B partners, and
our Direct-to-Patient team, we aim to bring this next-generation
airway clearance device to patients within the next year and
significantly expand our reach over time.”
Traditional airway clearance therapies can be time consuming and
constraining with mixed results. SIMEOX 200 provides an innovative
alternative, delivering efficient bronchial drainage, specifically
in low lung volumes, that can be administered in healthcare centers
and institutions, as well as at home.
Inogen plans to pursue a limited launch of SIMEOX 200 in
targeted sites in 2025.
