APPENDIX BDISPUTE RESOLUTION
ARBITRATION
a. | Any dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related in any way to this Agreement or the interpretation, application, breach, termination or validity thereof, including any claim of inducement of this Agreement by fraud or otherwise, will be submitted for resolution to arbitration pursuant to the rules then pertaining of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution for Non-Administered Arbitration (available at http://www.cpradr.org/arb-intro.asp?M=9.3), or successor (CPR), except where those rules conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The arbitration will be held in New Brunswick, New Jersey. |
b. | The panel shall consist of three arbitrators chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals (or, by agreement, from another provider of arbitrators) each of whom is a lawyer with at least 15 years experience practicing patent law and with a law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. In the event the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and the aggregate damages sought by the counterclaimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and neither side seeks equitable relief, then a single arbitrator shall be chosen, having the same qualifications and experience specified above. Each arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the parties and, for at least a period of ten years prior to the effective date of this agreement, shall not have been employed by, or worked for a law firm that is or has been retained by either party or by any affiliate of either party. Each arbitrator shall abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes (available at http://www.adr.org/EthicsAndStandards). |
c. | The parties agree to cooperate (1) to attempt to select the arbitrator(s) by agreement within 45 days of initiation of the arbitration, including jointly interviewing the final candidates, (2) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within 45 days of selection and (3) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within 60 days of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within 45 days after the conclusion of the hearings. |
d. | In the event the parties cannot agree upon selection of the arbitrator(s), the CPR will select arbitrator(s) as follows: CPR shall provide the parties with a list of no less than 25 proposed arbitrators (15 if a single arbitrator is to be selected) having the credentials referenced above. Within 25 days of receiving such list, the parties shall rank at least 65% of the proposed arbitrators on the initial CPR list, after exercising cause challenges. The parties may then interview the five candidates (three if a single arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings for no more than one hour each and, following the interviews, may exercise one peremptory challenge each. The panel will consist of the remaining three candidates (or one, if one arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings. In the event these procedures fail to result in selection of the required number of arbitrators, CPR shall select the appropriate number of arbitrators from among the members of the various CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, allowing each side challenges for cause and three peremptory challenges each. |
e. | In the event the parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery and conduct of the hearing meeting the schedule set forth in paragraph c above, then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for the hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award in accord with the paragraph c schedule. The arbitrator(s) shall provide for discovery according to those time limits, giving recognition to the understanding of the parties that they contemplate reasonable discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such discovery be limited so that the paragraph c schedule may be met without difficulty. In no event will the arbitrator(s), absent agreement of the parties, allow more than a total of ten days for the hearing or permit either side to obtain more than a total of 40 hours of deposition testimony from all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses, or serve more than 20 individual requests for documents, including subparts, or 20 individual requests for admission or interrogatories, including subparts. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. |

Exhibit 1
Entellus Medical Functional INfundibular
Endoscopic Sinus System.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ALL INSTRUCTIONS, PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY
READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
COMPLICATIONS.
All packaging and referenced Entellus Medical device components
are LATEX FREE
Caution Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
System Description
The Entellus Medical, Inc. Functional INfundibular Endoscopic Sinus System (FinESS®) includes the following components:
Micro-Trocar & Access Sheath
The Micro-Trocar provides a small access hole into the Maxillary Sinus through the Canine Fossa. The Micro-Trocar also delivers the Access Sheath, which is intended to maintain consistent access for procedural devices (Cannula / Endoscope & Balloon Catheter).
Figure 1 Sinus Access Tools: Micro-Trocar Inserted Through Access Sheath
Cannula
The Cannula is a dual lumen instrument that allows both delivery of the Balloon Catheter and visualization with an Endoscope. The Cannula is sized to pass through the Access Sheath.
Figure 2 Sinus Cannula
Balloon Catheter
The Balloon Catheter is designed to dilate the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum space. The balloon catheter includes a braided shaft design that allows for rotational positioning to accurately deliver the balloon into the ostium while navigating within the parasinus space.
Figure 3 Sinus Balloon Dilatation Catheter
1108-003 Rev D July 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 2 of 11 |
Inflation Device
The disposable Entellus Medical, Inc. Inflation Device consists of a syringe barrel, a plunger rod assembly used to generate and control balloon inflation pressures, and a pressure limit mechanism. The pressure limit mechanism limits the amount of positive pressure the Inflation Device can generate to 12 atm +1 atm (176 psi + 14.7 psi).
Figure 4 Inflation Device
All components of the FinESS® Sinus Treatment are provided sterile.
Indication for Use
To access and treat the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum in adults with a trans-antral approach. The bony sinus outflow tract is remodeled by balloon displacement of adjacent bone and paranasal sinus structures.
Contraindication
Patients with thickened polypoid mucosa excessive enough to inhibit the visualization of the maxillary ostium should not be considered candidates for the FinESS® Sinus Treatment.
Warnings
| Only physicians possessing sufficient skill and expertise in similar technique (accessing maxillary sinus ostium and ethmoid infundibulum through canine fossa) should perform this procedure. |
| Do not use the FinESS® Sinus Treatment if CT image indicates challenging anatomy such as a hypoplastic antrum or polypoid mucosa that may limit success of Canine Fossa approach. |
| Do not use opened or damaged packages . |
| The FinESS® Sinus Treatment is intended for single procedure use only. Do not attempt to reuse or re-sterilize. Device integrity may be compromised. |
| Do not apply excessive penetration force when drilling the canine fossa access hole. Patient injury or device damage may occur. |
| Do not exceed the maximum recommended balloon inflation pressure (12 atm). Use of the Entellus Medical Inflation Device is required to prevent over-pressurization. |
| Do not advance or withdraw the Balloon when inflated. Mucosa damage or device damage may occur. |
| As in any upper airway procedure or sinus surgery, do not use CPAP for approximately 7 days post-procedure with FinESS® Sinus Treatment. CPAP usage prior to soft tissue healing may result in facial and/or neck swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
Precautions
| FinESS® Sinus Treatment components should be stored in a cool and dry place. Never use a device that is beyond its expiration date. |
1108-003 Rev D July 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 3 of 11 |
| FinESS® Sinus Treatment components should be handled with care. Prior to use, and during the procedure, inspect the packaging and components for bends, kinks, or other damage. Discontinue the use of any component that may have been damaged. |
| Pay special attention when advancing or withdrawing the Cannula or Balloon Catheter. Never advance, withdraw or torque any component that meets resistance, as this could cause kinking or breaking. If resistance is encountered, use endoscopy to help guide device manipulation. If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, withdraw all components as a system. Do not apply downward force with the Canula during removal, as this may cause damage to the cannula. |
| The Balloon Catheter should only be manipulated under endoscopic observation. |
| The Balloon Catheter should be positioned with its curved tip in an inferior orientation when tracking through the maxillary sinus ostium and ethmoid infundibulum to avoid tracking into the agger nasi cell. |
| Patients should be advised to sneeze with an open mouth and avoid extreme inhalation and blowing through the nose for approximately 7 days post-procedure to reduce the likelihood of inflammation and/or swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
| It is important to review the patients CT image prior to performing the FinESS® procedure in order to determine the most appropriate access location. |
Adverse Effects
Possible adverse effects include, but are not limited to, the following:
| Post-operative facial pain |
| Excessive bleeding in the nose and at the canine fossa |
| Complication from anesthesia |
| Fracture of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus |
| Cerebrospinal fluid leak |
| Loss of vision or diplopia (double vision) |
| Damage to a tooth root or gingiva |
| Damage to nerves potentially causing temporary (and occasionally prolonged) numbness to the cheek, lip, or teeth; mid-facial pain; and tooth pain or hypersensitivity |
| Facial bruising and swelling |
| Swelling of the nose and cheek |
| Fever and infection |
| Tissue inflammation |
| Continued or worsening sinus symptoms |

System Operation
1. | Patient preparation. |
a. | Patient preparation should be consistent with standard practice. |
b. | Anesthesia should be administered appropriately to allow patient tolerance. |
2. | Access Maxillary Sinus |
a. | Firmly lift and retract lip to visualize gingival tissue and feel for canine fossa recess. |
b. | While retracting lip to minimize gingival tissue thickness, enter tissue with Micro-Trocar. |
c. | After accessing gingival tissue, position Micro-Trocar tip on bony surface at the intersection location described in Figure 7. |
Note: The target access location is typically on the lateral side of the canine fossa recess.
Note: | Access location may be confirmed by gently angling the Micro-Trocar to be perpendicular to the facial plane while holding the Micro-Trocar tip on the bone at the target access location. |
d. | While holding Micro-Trocar at appropriate angle (approximately 45 degrees from the facial plane with the Micro-Trocar tip pointed at the inside corner of the eye}, apply a back-and-forth rotational motion (versus a pushing motion) to gently create an access hole. |
Note: | Do not apply excessive penetration force when making access hole. |
Figure 7 Target Access Site Location
e. | After sinus access is achieved, continue rotating Micro-Trocar with back-and-forth motion while gently angling the Micro-Trocar tip toward the Maxillary Sinus Ostium (corner of the eye). The gentle side-cutting motion provides a range of motion for the Cannula to visualize the Sinus Ostium. |
Note: | The Micro-Trocar must be rotated with a back-and-forth motion prior to angling the Micro-Trocar. |
Note: | The Micro-Trocar Pin must be engaged with the Access Sheath to allow side-cutting. If Pin pulls out of Access Sheath, re-insert and continue Micro-Trocar rotations. |
f. | While holding Access Sheath in access site with one hand, slide the Micro-Trocar out of the Access Sheath with the other hand by using thumb to push the Access Sheath off of the Micro-Trocar. Do not apply downward force with the Micro-Trocar during removal. |
1108-003 Rev D July 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 7 of 11 |
Note: | If Access Sheath slips out of access site (even if it Is just removed from the hole in the bone) at any time, re-load Access Sheath onto Micro-Trocar and use Micro-Trocar to locate original hole, or to re-access in a secondary location. Do not attempt to re-access the hole with the Access Sheath only. Access Sheath damage may occur. |
g. | Use a standard #5 suction tip to aspirate fluid from the access sheath as required. |
3. | Insert Cannula into Access Sheath under endoscopic visualization. |
Note: | The Cannula should be inserted up to the Cannula Shaft Mark (see Figure 2) to ensure the Cannula passes completely through the Access Sheath. Failure to accurately position the Cannula Shaft Mark may result In balloon damage. |
Note | At any time during the procedure, the Cannula may be removed from the Access Sheath to clean the Endoscope by gently pulling the Cannula tip I Endoscope tip across a surgical wipe soaked in an appropriate cleaning medium. Do not apply downward force with the Cannula during removal. |
4. | Visualize presence of air / fluid level within sinus. |
a. | If fluid level impedes endoscopic visualization, aspiration and/or irrigation may be required. |
b. | Remove Cannula from Access Sheath to complete aspiration and/or irrigation. |
c. | Insert Cannula into Access Sheath. Verify acceptable fluid level. Excess residual saline in the sinus should be gently aspirated through a standard #5 suction device. |
5. | Visualize the maxillary sinus ostium. |
a. | While holding the Access Sheath in the access site, gently manipulate the Cannula to visualize the maxillary sinus ostium. |
b. | While visualizing the ostium, topical anesthetic may be sprayed through the Cannula for additional topical anesthesia as required. |
Note: | Use suction to remove residual anesthetic from Cannula using a standard #5 tip as required. |
6. | Introduce the Balloon Catheter through the Cannula. |
Note: | The Balloon Catheter should be tracked through the Cannula while under vacuum from the Inflation Device. |
7. | Advance the Balloon across the ostium under endoscopic visualization. |
a. | When the Balloon Catheter tip is positioned just outside of the ostium, advance the balloon into the sinus ostium with the curved catheter tip pointed posterior / inferior. |
Note: The arrow on the Balloon Catheter hub indicates the direction of the tip curve.
b. | Using the Shaft Marker (see Figure 3) as a visual reference for the proximal balloon end, position the Balloon within the ostium / infundibulum. |
Note: | The Balloon Catheter may be rotationally steered to allow full insertion of the balloon into the ostium and infundibulum. |
8 | Inflate Balloon. |
a. | Slowly depress the plunger rod with 2 hands, keeping the plunger rod straight, to inflate the balloon. The pressure should be increased slowly (5-7 seconds) until the distal seal on the orange piston reaches the distal mark on the inflation device. |
Note: | Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon. |
b. | Inflate sinus balloon until desired result is achieved. Endoscopically observe balloon dilation. |
Note: | Do not exceed the maximum pressure of 12 atm. |
1108-003 Rev D July 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 8 of 11 |
c. | After balloon dilation is complete, deflate the sinus balloon by gently pulling back on the plunger rod. Confirm the balloon deflation endoscopically. |
d. | Lock the plunger rod in place by pulling it back to the second detent position. A stop will prevent the plunger rod form being removed from the inflation device. |
e. | Verify the Cannula is inserted into the Access Sheath up to the Shaft Mark to ensure the Cannula tip is inserted beyond the Access Sheath. |
f. | Withdraw balloon from Cannula under endoscopic visualization. |
Note: | Rotating the Catheter as the Balloon begins to engage the Cannula will assist in balloon withdrawal. |
9. | Endoscopically observe balloon dilation result. |
a. | If the maxillary sinus ostium has been adequately dilated, remove Cannula and Access Sheath from access site. Do not apply downward force with the Cannula during removal, as this may cause damage to the cannula. |
Note: | Adequate dilation can be visually confirmed by observing the balloon during inflation, visually verifying balloon positioning during Inflation, and ensuring that the recommended inflation pressure Is achieved. |
b. | If additional balloon dilation is required, prepare Balloon Catheter per step 10 and repeat steps for Balloon inflation. |
10. | Prepare Balloon Catheter for additional dilations (if required). |
a. | Gently advance the plunger rod into the syringe barrel to expand the balloon using minimal pressure. |
b. | Rinse balloon with sterile saline or water. |
c. | Wipe balloon dry using gauze pad. |
d. | Point the distal tip of the balloon catheter down. Gently pull back on the plunger rod to apply vacuum to the balloon. Lock the plunger rod by pulling it back to the second detent position. |
e. | Re-wrap the tri-folded balloon by gently folding the wings around the catheter shaft in a clockwise direction. |
f. | Slide the Protective Sleeve on the re-wrapped balloon to restore original balloon profile. |
g. | Before additional balloon dilatation, remove the Protective Sleeve from the Balloon. Retain the Sleeve for Balloon re-wrapping. |
11. | Repeat procedure for contralateral maxillary sinus if needed. |
Note: | The scope image may need to be re-aligned prior to viewing second side. While holding the Cannula with the Endoscope Retention Valve positioned down (see Figure 2), rotate the Camera relative to the eye piece to align the image as desired. |
12. | After completing the entire procedure, withdraw all system components and discard. |

System Description
The Entellus Medical, Inc. Functional INfundibular Endoscopic Sinus System (FinESS®) includes the following components:
Micro-Trocar, Access Sheath & Access Sheath Spacer
The Micro-Trocar provides a small access hole into the Maxillary Sinus through the Canine Fossa. The Micro-Trocar also delivers the Access Sheath, which is intended to maintain consistent access for procedural devices (FinESS® Endoscope & Balloon Catheter) and to position the FinESS® Endoscope. The Access Sheath Spacer can be removed from the Access Sheath to allow the FinESS® Endoscope to be re-positioned.
Figure 1 Sinus Access Tools: Micro-Trocar Inserted Through Access Sheath and Access Sheath Spacer
Baloon Catheter
The Balloon Catheter is designed to dilate the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum space. The balloon catheter includes a braided shaft design that allows for rotational positioning to accurately deliver the balloon into the ostium while navigating within the parasinus space.
Figure 2 Sinus Balloon Dilatation Catheter
Inflation Device
The disposable Entellus Medical, Inc. Inflation Device consists of a syringe barrel, a plunger rod assembly used to generate and control balloon inflation pressures, and a pressure limit mechanism. The pressure limit mechanism limits the amount of positive pressure the Inflation Device can generate to 12 atm +1 atm (176 psi + 14.7 psi).
Figure 3 Inflation Device
1108-004 Rev C May 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 2 of 11 |
Extension Line
The Extension Line may be connected to the Inflation Device to provide extra length to maneuver the balloon if necessary.
Figure 4 Infusion Line
All components of the FinESS® Sinus Treatment are provided sterile.
Indication for Use
To access and treat the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum in adults with a trans-antral approach. The bony sinus outflow tract is remodeled by balloon displacement of adjacent bone and paranasal sinus structures.
Contraindications
Patients with thickened polypoid mucosa excessive enough to inhibit the visualization of the maxillary ostium should not be considered candidates for the FinESS® Sinus Treatment.
Warnings
| Only physicians possessing sufficient skill and expertise in similar technique (accessing maxillary sinus ostium and ethmoid infundibulum through canine fossa) should perform this procedure. |
| Do not use the FinESS® Sinus Treatment if CT image indicates challenging anatomy such as a hypoplastic antrum or polypoid mucosa that may limit success of Canine Fossa approach. |
| Do not use opened or damaged packages . |
| The FinESS® Sinus Treatment is intended for single procedure use only. Do not attempt to reuse or re-sterilize. Device integrity may be compromised. |
| Do not apply excessive penetration force when drilling the canine fossa access hole. Patient injury or device damage may occur. |
1108-004 Rev C May 2010 | FinESS® Sinus Treatment | Page 3 of 11 |
| Do not exceed the maximum recommended balloon inflation pressure (12 atm). Use of the Entellus Medical Inflation Device is required to prevent over-pressurization. |
| Do not advance or withdraw the Balloon when inflated. Mucosa damage or device damage may occur. |
| As in any upper airway procedure or sinus surgery, do not use CPAP until the physician has confirmed that the tissue is adequately healed. CPAP usage prior to soft tissue healing may result in facial and/or neck swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
Precautions
| FinESS® Sinus Treatment components should be stored in a cool and dry place. Never use a device that is beyond its expiration date. |
| FinESS® Sinus Treatment components should be handled with care. Prior to use, and during the procedure, inspect the packaging and components for bends, kinks, or other damage. Discontinue the use of any component that may have been damaged. |
| Pay special attention when advancing or withdrawing the Endoscope or Balloon Catheter. Never advance, withdraw or torque any component that meets resistance, as this could cause kinking or breaking. If resistance is encountered, use endoscopy to help guide device manipulation. If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, withdraw all components as a system. |
| The Balloon Catheter should only be manipulated under endoscopic observation. |
| Patients should be advised to sneeze with an open mouth and avoid extreme inhalation and blowing through the nose for approximately 7 days post-procedure to reduce the likelihood of inflammation and/or swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
| It is important to review the patients CT image prior to performing the FinESS® procedure in order to determine the most appropriate access location and to appreciate unique anatomical characteristics, eg. agger nasi cell, that may impact placement of the balloon into the desired treatment location. |

1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 1 of 9 |
Description
The XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool is intended to remodel or recreate the sinus outflow tract via trans-nasal balloon dilation. The XprESS device combines features of a curved suction tip and a frontal ostium seeker with the tissue expansion effect of balloon dilation. The familiar features of this device enable a physician to track the device to the sinus ostium. Since the distal end of the device is re-shapeable, one balloon can be modified to work on multiple sinuses within the same patient.
The XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool has been tested to withstand multiple inflations and device tip manipulations (up to 25) in a surgical case wherein all 6 sinus ostia are being dilated.
The XprESS device curved suction tip has a 2 mm atraumatic ball tip with a 1 mm inside diameter. A suction tube may be connected to the proximal barbed fitting to provide active suction.
Figure 1 XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool
The XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool is provided sterile and for single use only.
The items packaged with the Xpress Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool include the Inflation Device and the Infusion Line.
Indication for Use
To access and treat the frontal recesses, sphenoid sinus ostia and maxillary ostia/ethmoid infundibula in adults using a trans-nasal approach. The bony sinus outflow tracts are remodeled by balloon displacement of adjacent bone and paranasal sinus structures.
Contraindications
| Do not use this XprESS device in patients who are allergic to nickel or barium sulfate. |
| Do not attach the XprESS device directly to the CT Image Guidance systems. This may result in inaccurate device positioning. |
Warnings
| Never advance or withdraw the XprESS device against any resistance. Do not use excessive force or torque to advance the XprESS device or balloon / slide assembly when positioned in any paranasal space. Such actions could lead to tissue trauma, bleeding, or device damage. |
| Do not use breached or damaged packages, since the sterility and functionality of the device may be compromised. |
| This XprESS device is provided sterile. Do not re-sterilize because device integrity may be compromised. |
| The XprESS device, inflation device and other accessories are intended for single procedure use only. Do not attempt to reuse or re-sterilize because the integrity of the XprESS devices may be compromised. |
1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 2 of 9 |
| Due to the variability of sinus anatomy, review appropriate radiographic imaging (CT scan) prior to treatment. Do not use the XprESS device to treat a hypoplastic/atelectatic maxillary sinus or atelectatic ethmoid infundibulum. |
| Do not exceed the maximum recommended balloon inflation pressure of 12 atm. Over-inflation of sinus balloons can result in serious adverse events. |
| Do not use ionic or non-ionic fluoroscopic contrast solution to inflate the balloon in patients with known allergies to contrast media. |
| If suction through the XprESS device lumen is used during the procedure, temporarily discontinue suction (disconnect suction hose from device, or clamp suction hose) at the time of balloon inflation. Suction can resume subsequent to balloon deflation. Using the XprESS device in suction mode while balloon is inflated may result in barometric trauma to sinus tissue which may lead to increased bleeding. |
| As in any upper airway procedure or sinus surgery, do not use CPAP until the physician has confirmed that the tissue is adequately healed. CPAP usage prior to soft tissue healing may result in facial and/or neck swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
| Do not clean the XprESS device with anti-microbial agents as the compatibility of the XprESS device with these agents has not been tested. |
| The XprESS device has been tested only with the Entellus Inflation Device. Do not use other inflation devices. Use of other inflation devices may result in serious patient injury. |
Precautions
| Store the XprESS device components in a cool and dry place. Never use a device that is beyond its expiration date. |
| Handle the XprESS device with care. Prior to use, and during the procedure, inspect the packaging and components for bends, kinks, or other damage. Discontinue the use of the XprESS device if it may have been damaged. |
| Pay special attention when advancing or withdrawing the balloon and slide assembly. If resistance is encountered, use endoscopy or direct visualization to help guide device out of the paranasal space and then attempt to alleviate the resistance. If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, do not use the XprESS device. |
| Use direct endoscope visualization with or without fluoroscopy to ensure accurate placement of the balloon prior to dilation. If balloon location cannot be verified, the balloon should not be inflated. |
| Consider using self-limiting radiation exposure equipment when employing fluoroscopy to confirm device placement. Ensure the equipment is calibrated and maintained per the equipment manufacturers user manual. |
| Use techniques for reducing fluoroscopic exposure when using fluoroscopy. Examples are applying pulsed beam settings, increasing target-to-panel distance, utilizing posterior-anterior projection, or using appropriate lead shield protection. Total fluoroscopy time should be limited to 30 minutes. |
| When fluoroscopy is used, minimize radiation dose to the lens of the eye and other proliferating tissues due to the potential of cataract formation or injury to the surrounding tissue. |
| Do not advance or withdraw the guidewire through the suction lumen against resistance. This could lead to device damage. |
| Use standard larger suction tubes for removal of thick secretions or other materials. |
| Fully deflate the balloon and retract the balloon slide assembly before withdrawing the XprESS device from the paranasal sinus space. |
| Use liquid contrast or sterile saline solution to inflate the balloon. Use of air will make it difficult to achieve the target inflation pressure. |
1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 3 of 9 |
| Consider using a new balloon if cross-contamination between sinuses is a concern. |

a. | Remove the Inflation Device and the Infusion Line from the sterile package. |
b. | Connect the Infusion Line to the Inflation Device. |
c. | Insert the luer fitting of the Infusion Line into sterile saline solution. Keep the Inflation Device luer pointed up during the prepping steps to prevent air entrapment. |
d. | Fully retract the plunger rod to the stop position (2nd Detent) as shown in Figure 2. This will fill the barrel with the saline solution. |
1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 4 of 9 |
e. | Advance the plunger rod fully into the syringe barrel to purge air from the system. |
f. | Repeat steps d and e until no more air is present in the system. |
g. | With the XprESS device full of saline and the plunger fully retracted (to stop position), advance the plunger to the first detent (Figure 3). The Inflation device is now ready to be connected to the balloon. |
Note: | Inspect the syringe barrel to ensure there is minimal air in the system. If excessive air remains in the system, repeat prepping process. |
2. | Prepare XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool. |
a. | Remove the XprESS device from its sterile package. |
b. | Connect the prepped Inflation Device Infusion Line to the balloon inflation luer. |
c. | Remove and discard the balloon protector prior to introducing the balloon into the sinus. |
3. | Perform a test inflation of the system depressing the plunger rod with 2 hands, keeping the plunger rod straight. Ensure that the distal orange piston black O-ring seal is aligned with the distal black mark of the Inflation Device during the test inflation (See Figure 5). Also ensure there is no air introduced into the system during the deflation of the balloon. If a leak is detected and the source cannot be identified and corrected, discard the XprESS device, infusion line, and inflation device. Use new devices to complete the procedure. |
4. | Pull back on the plunger rod to the stop (2nd Detent) position to apply a vacuum to the balloon. |
Patient Preparation.
1. | Patient preparation should be consistent with standard practice. |
2. | Anesthesia should be administered appropriately to allow patient tolerance. |
Locate the Sinus Structure
1. | Direct Visualization: Locate the treatment area or sinus structure using the standard sinus ostium seeker, suction tube (standard or XprESS) and/or guidewire with the aid of an endoscope. Observe the location of the treatment area relative to the anatomical landmarks through the endoscope. Remove the sinus ostium seeker, suction tube or guidewire after locating treatment area. When treating the maxillary sinus ostia, removal of a portion of the uncinate process may be required to achieve direct visualization. |
1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 5 of 9 |
2. | CT Image Guidance: If further confirmation of the treatment area location is desired, CT Image guidance using standard image guidance tools may be used. If CT image guidance is used, the CT scan data should be uploaded into the image guidance system prior to the start of the procedure. Use only the tools recommended by the CT image system manufacturer. Do not attach the CT Image Guidance system to the XprESS device. |
XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool Operation
1. | Position device suction tip within the sinus structure. |
a. | Under endoscopic visualization, track the XprESS device to the same treatment area identified in the section Locate the Sinus Structure. |
Note: Reference marks are located 1 and 2 cm from the tip of the device.
b. | Fluoroscopy: If further verification of the device placement prior to dilation is desired, fluoroscopy may be used. Take two orthogonal views (AP and lateral) of the sinus. The XprESS device suction tip is made up of stainless steel and is visible under fluoroscopy. The balloon will be proximal to the tip of the device. |
c. | To further enhance visualization under fluoroscopy, insert the flexible end of the selected 0.035 guidewire through the suction lumen (see Supplies Section for compatible guidewire). Feed the guidewire through the lumen (device is approximately 27 cm in length) until the flexible tip exits the XprESS device. If resistance in the guidewire is met, reposition the XprESS device so that the guidewire can pass freely out the distal end of the lumen. If suction was used through the suction lumen prior to guidewire advancement, clean the suction lumen by irrigating with sterile saline. |
Note: The XprESS device suction tip may be re-shaped to aid in device positioning.
Note: Use device as a suction tool to maintain a clear visual field during device positioning.
2. | Advancing the balloon to the treatment site. |
Under endoscopic visualization, fully advance the balloon slide mechanism forward to position the balloon within the sinus opening.
3. | Prior to inflating balloon, discontinue the use of suction to decrease the risk of sinus barotrauma. |
4. | Inflate balloon. |
a | Slowly depress the plunger rod with 2 hands, keeping the plunger rod straight, to inflate the balloon. The pressure should be increased slowly (57 seconds) until the orange piston bottoms out (distal black seal (o-ring) of the piston reaches the distal black mark on the inflation device see Fig. 5). If these do not align, deflate the balloon and remove the XprESS device and perform a test inflation as described in step 3 of the System Preparation section. Alignment of the mark with the 0-ring will ensure that 12 atm of pressure is reached. |
Note: Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.
1662-001-rG Oct 2010 | XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool | Page 6 of 9 |
b. | Inflate the balloon until the desired result is achieved or until it reaches 12 atm. Inflate the balloon for up to 20 seconds (less than or equal to 20 second), observe that the balloon is inflated endoscopically. |
Note: Do not exceed 12 atm.
c. | Deflate the balloon and observe the results endoscopically. Perform additional inflationsfor similar duration if needed until desired result is achieved. Typically 1-2 inflations are performed per sinus. |
Note: | To avoid barometric trauma to sinus tissue, do not use device in suction mode while balloon is inflated. |
d. | After balloon dilation is complete, deflate the balloon by gently pulling back on the plunger rod to the stop (2nd detent) position. If air is introduced into the system during deflation, remove the XprESS device and perform a test inflation as described in step 3 of the System Preparation section. |
e. | Under endoscopic visualization, retract the balloon slide mechanism to withdraw the deflated balloon from the sinus opening. Endoscopically observe balloon dilation result. |
f. | When the sinus outflow tract has been adequately dilated, remove the XprESS device from the treated sinus. |
Note: | Adequate dilation can be visually confirmed by observing the balloon during inflation. For a full 12 atm inflation, advance the plunger until the orange piston bottoms out (distal black seal (o-ring) of the piston reaches the distal black mark on the inflation device see Fig. 5 for Illustration). |
5. | Clean up the ostium site by cutting or removing flaps of tissue, fragments of exposed bone, or any other bone and mucosa that may obstruct or otherwise prevent re-establishment of ventilation and drainage of the sinus. |
6. | Prepare balloon for dilation of additional sinuses (if desired). |
a. | Gently advance the plunger rod into the syringe barrel to slightly expand the balloon to remove any wrinkles using minimal pressure. |
b. | Clean the balloon prior to introduction into another sinus. This may be done by wiping the balloon with sterile wet gauze or dipping the balloon in sterile saline or sterile water. |
c. | Perform a test inflation of the balloon to ensure system integrity if system or device failure is suspected. Ensure that the distal orange piston black O-ring seal is aligned with the distal black mark of the Inflation Device during the test inflation (See Figure 5 above). Also ensure there is no air introduced into the system during the deflation of the balloon. If a leak is detected and the source cannot be identified and corrected, discard the XprESS device, infusion line, and inflation device. Use new devices to complete the procedure. |
d. | With the distal tip of the XprESS device down, gently pull back on the plunger rod to the stop (2nd detent) position to apply vacuum to the balloon. |
7. | Repeat the same procedure to treat additional sinuses if desired. |
Note: The XprESS device suction tip may be re-shaped as required to treat additional sinuses.
8. | After completing the entire procedure, dispose of XprESS device, infusion line, guidewire if used, Inflation Device, and all waste product according to appropriate environmental health safety guidelines. |

ALL INSTRUCTIONS, PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY
READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
COMPLICATIONS.
Caution Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
System Description
The Entellus Medical, Inc. Functional INfundibular Endoscopic Sinus System (FinESS) includes the following components:
Micro-Trocar & Access Sheath
The Micro-Trocar provides a small access hole into the Maxillary Sinus through the Canine Fossa. The Micro-Trocar also delivers the Access Sheath, which is intended to maintain consistent access for procedural devices (Cannula / Endoscope & Balloon Catheter).
Figure 1 Sinus Access Tools: Micro-Trocar Inserted Through Access Sheath
Cannula
The Cannula is a dual lumen instrument that allows both delivery of the Balloon Catheter and visualization with an Endoscope. The Cannula is sized to pass through the Access Sheath.
Figure 2 Sinus Cannula
Balloon Catheter
The Balloon Catheter is designed to dilate the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum space. The balloon catheter includes a braided shaft design that allows for rotational positioning to accurately deliver the balloon into the ostium while navigating within the parasinus space.
Figure 4 Imaging Sleeve
Inflation Device
The disposable Entellus Medical, Inc. Inflation Device consists of a 25 cc syringe barrel with a pressure gauge, a threaded plunger assembly with a Winged Lock Mechanism used to generate and control balloon inflation pressures, and a flexible high pressure extension tube. The gauge is calibrated from 0 to 30 atm (0 to 441 psi) of positive pressure. The accuracy of the gauge is within 1 atm over the range. Accuracy of syringe graduations: +5%.
1108-001-rG Oct 2010 | FINESS Sinus Treatment | Page 2 of 10 |
All components of the FinESS Sinus Treatment are provided sterile.
Indication for Use
To access and treat the maxillary sinus ostium and the ethmoid infundibulum in adults with a trans-antral approach. The bony sinus outflow tract is remodeled by balloon displacement of adjacent bone and paranasal sinus structures.
Contraindications
Patients with thickened polypoid mucosa excessive enough to inhibit the visualization of the maxillary ostium should not be considered candidates for the FinESS Sinus Treatment.
Warnings
| Only physicians possessing sufficient skill and expertise in similar technique (accessing maxillary sinus ostium and ethmoid infundibulum through canine fossa) should perform this procedure. |
| Do not use the FinESS Sinus Treatment if CT image indicates challenging anatomy such as a hypoplastic antrum or polypoid mucosa that may limit success of Canine Fossa approach. |
| Do not use opened or damaged packages. |
| The FinESS Sinus Treatment is intended for single procedure use only. Do not attempt to reuse or re-sterilize. Device integrity may be compromised. |
| Do not apply excessive penetration force when drilling the canine fossa access hole. Patient injury or device damage may occur. |
| Do not exceed the maximum recommended balloon inflation pressure (12 atm). Use of a pressure monitoring Inflation Device is required to prevent over-pressurization. |
| Do not advance or withdraw the Balloon when inflated. Mucosa damage or device damage may occur. |
| Inflation pressures should be closely monitored when inflating the balloon. The inflation device is a high volume, low compliance system capable of generating high pressure with relative ease. |
| As in any upper airway procedure or sinus surgery, do not use CPAP for approximately 7 days post-procedure with FinESS Sinus Treatment. CPAP usage prior to soft tissue healing may result in facial and/or neck swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
Precautions
| FinESS Sinus Treatment components should be stored in a cool and dry place. Never use a device that is beyond its expiration date. |
| FinESS Sinus Treatment components should be handled with care. Prior to use, and during the procedure, inspect the packaging and components for bends, kinks, or other damage. Discontinue the use of any component that may have been damaged. |
| Pay special attention when advancing or withdrawing the Cannula or Balloon Catheter. Never advance, withdraw or torque any component that meets resistance, as this could cause kinking or breaking. If resistance is encountered, use endoscopy to help guide device manipulation. If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, withdraw all components as a system. |
| The Balloon Catheter should only be manipulated under endoscopic observation. |
| The Balloon Catheter should be positioned with its curved tip in an inferior orientation when tracking through the maxillary sinus ostium and ethmoid infundibulum to avoid tracking into the agger nasi cell. |
| Patients should be advised to sneeze with an open mouth and avoid extreme inhalation and blowing through the nose for approximately 7 days post-procedure to reduce the likelihood of inflammation and/or swelling due to subcutaneous emphysema. |
1108-001-rG Oct 2010 | FINESS Sinus Treatment | Page 3 of 10 |
| It is important to review the patients CT image prior to performing the FinESS procedure in order to determine the most appropriate access location. |

System Operation
1. | Patient preparation. |
a. | Patient preparation should be consistent with standard practice. |
b. | Anesthesia should be administered appropriately to allow patient tolerance. |
2. | Access Maxillary Sinus |
a. | Firmly lift and retract lip to visualize gingival tissue and feel for canine fossa recess. |
b. | While retracting lip to minimize gingival tissue thickness, enter tissue with Micro-Trocar. |
c. | After accessing gingival tissue, position Micro-Trocar tip on bony surface at the intersection location described in Figure 6. |
Note: | The target access location is typically on the lateral side of the canine fossa recess. |
Note: | Access location may be confirmed by gently angling the Micro-Trocar to be perpendicular to the facial plane while holding the Micro-Trocar tip on the bone at the target access location. |
d. | While holding Micro-Trocar at appropriate angle (approximately 45 degrees from the facial plane with the Micro-Trocar tip pointed at the inside corner of the eye}, apply a back-and-forth rotational motion (versus a pushing motion) to gently create an access hole. |
Note: | Do not apply excessive penetration force when making access hole. |
Figure 5 Target Access Site Location
e. | After sinus access is achieved, continue rotating Micro-Trocar with back-and-forth motion while gently angling the Micro-Trocar tip toward the Maxillary Sinus Ostium (corner of the eye). The gentle side-cutting motion provides a range of motion for the Cannula to visualize the Sinus Ostium. |
Note: | The Micro-Trocar must be rotated with a back-and-forth motion prior to angling the Micro-Trocar. |
Note: | The Micro-Trocar Pin must be engaged with the Access Sheath to allow side-cutting. If Pin pulls out of Access Sheath, re-insert and continue Micro-Trocar rotations. |
1108-001-rG Oct 2010 | FINESS Sinus Treatment | Page 6 of 10 |
f. | While holding Access Sheath in access site, slide the Micro-Trocar out of the Access Sheath. |
Note: | If Access Sheath slips out of access site (even if it Is just removed from the hole in the bone) at any time, re-load Access Sheath onto Micro-Trocar and use Micro-Trocar to locate original hole, or to re-access in a secondary location. Do not attempt to re-access the hole with the Access Sheath only. Access Sheath damage may occur. |
g. | Use a standard #5 suction tip to aspirate fluid from the access sheath as required. |
3. | Insert Cannula into Access Sheath under endoscopic visualization. |
Note: | The Cannula should be inserted up to the Cannula Shaft Mark (see Figure 2) to ensure the Cannula passes completely through the Access Sheath. Failure to accurately position the Cannula Shaft Mark may result in balloon damage. |
Note | At any time during the procedure, the Cannula may be removed from the Access Sheath to clean the Endoscope by gently pulling the Cannula tip I Endoscope tip across a surgical wipe soaked in an appropriate cleaning medium. |
4. | Visualize presence of air / fluid level within sinus. |
a. | If fluid level impedes endoscopic visualization, aspiration and/or irrigation may be required. |
b. | Remove Cannula from Access Sheath to complete aspiration and/or irrigation. |
c. | Insert Cannula into Access Sheath. Verify acceptable fluid level. Excess residual saline in the sinus should be gently aspirated through a standard #5 suction device. |
5. | Visualize the maxillary sinus ostium. |
a. | While holding the Access Sheath in the access site, gently manipulate the Cannula to visualize the maxillary sinus ostium. |
b. | While visualizing the ostium, topical anesthetic may be sprayed through the Cannula for additional topical anesthesia as required. |
Note: | Use suction to remove residual anesthetic from Cannula using a standard #5 tip as required. |
6. | Introduce the Balloon Catheter through the Cannula. |
7. | Advance the Balloon across the ostium under endoscopic visualization. |
a. | When the Balloon Catheter tip is positioned just outside of the ostium, advance the balloon into the sinus ostium with the curved catheter tip pointed posterior / inferior. |
Note: | The arrow on the Balloon Catheter hub indicates the direction of the tip curve. |
b. | Using the Shaft Marker (see Figure 3) as a visual reference for the proximal balloon end, position the Balloon within the ostium / infundibulum. |
Note: The Balloon Catheter may be rotationally steered to allow full insertion of the balloon into the ostium and infundibulum.
