The study will test the Rubicon Filter in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), which are degenerated coronary bypass grafts in which blockages have reappeared following heart bypass surgery. The CE Mark is the regulatory approval that must be obtained in order to market a medical device in the European Union. "We will soon begin the process for regulatory approval of the Rubicon Filter in the European Union for SVG patients. Our research and development team has worked under an accelerated schedule, and we plan to commence clinical studies in either the 4th quarter of 2002, or 1st quarter of 2003. These studies are anticipated to take 3-4 months to complete," stated Mr. Richard J. Linder, Rubicon President and CEO. Linder also noted that "We have completed feasibility testing at the Utah Artificial Heart Institute, and we plan to begin the FDA approval process after the CE Mark studies have been completed." The Rubicon Filter is an embolic filter, a medical device designed to be inserted into a blood vessel and allow blood to continue flowing during a surgical procedure, while blocking any particle large enough to cause damage to the body. During many coronary vascular procedures, a principal risk is that plaque material from a coronary blockage can be dislodged to travel through the body. Such loose particles can block other blood vessels (a condition called embolization) and cause a stroke, heart attack or other very serious problem. The Rubicon Filter is designed to prevent or reduce the possibility of serious or fatal embolization caused by such loose particles. In addition, the Rubicon Filter is the smallest known embolic protection filter device in existence. Although similar devices currently are in use in other countries, no other filter device similar to the Rubicon Filter has yet been approved for use in the United States. When inserted into a coronary artery past an atherosclerotic (plaque) blockage, the Rubicon Filter's extremely small size will greatly reduce the risk of breaking free particles that can cause serious injury to the patient during passage of the filter. The Rubicon Filter's small size also means it will be much simpler and easier for surgeons to navigate it through coronary arteries. Rubicon believes that the filter's advanced features and ease of use will present a significant improvement for interventional physicians over existing filter technologies marketed by Boston Scientific, Guidant, Medtronic and Cordis (Johnson & Johnson). The worldwide market for embolic protection devices such as the Rubicon Filter is estimated at a potential $1 billion dollars annually. "The commencement of European studies re-affirms our commitment to conduct our own clinical studies, grow our business and to market our own proprietary technologies worldwide. We believe that once we obtain regulatory approvals, the Rubicon Filter will become a standard choice of interventional physicians," Mr. Linder continued. Randall Higashida, MD, Rubicon's Medical Director, stated: "I am very excited with the efforts Rubicon has invested in the Rubicon Filter for SVG patients. The Rubicon Filter, once approved in the U.S. and Europe, holds the potential to make these coronary procedures safer for SVG patients, and we intend to establish this through clinical research." Dr. Higashida is the Chief of Interventional Neuro-Radiology at the University of California at San Francisco, President of the American Society of Interventional Therapeutic Neuroradiology (ASITN), and Chairman of the American Heart Association's Committee on Cerebrovascular Disease.
