Motus GI Announces Publication of Pure-Vu® System Clinical Data in Peer-Reviewed Journal BMC GastroenterologyFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motus GI Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: MOTS) ("Motus GI" or the "Company"), a medical technology company providing endoscopy solutions that improve clinical outcomes and enhance the cost-efficiency associated with the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal conditions, announced today the publication of data from the REDUCE (“Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement”) study in an article titled, “A multicenter, prospective, inpatient feasibility study to evaluate the use of an intra-colonoscopy cleansing device to optimize colon preparation in hospitalized patients: the REDUCE study” in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Gastroenterology. Among the important findings that the Company continues to emphasize since the data from the REDUCE study were first announced is the Pure-Vu system’s 97% clinical success rate. The full publication can be found at (click here). “Evaluation of the data from our REDUCE study continues to support our belief that the Pure-Vu System can significantly improve bowel preparation quality in hospitalized subjects undergoing colonoscopy. Peer-reviewed articles such as this continue to help us educate the market on the potential for the Pure-Vu System to enhance patient care while also lowering costs for hospitals and payers,” stated Tim Moran, Chief Executive Officer of Motus GI. “Additionally, an interesting observation noted in this study, subject to additional research, is the potential to use clarity of last bowel movement as a useful indicator in predicting poor bowel preparation.” “In our ongoing efforts to improve bowel preparation for our patients undergoing colonoscopy, we are pleased to see the publication of this compelling data that demonstrates that Pure-Vu can effectively cleanse the entire colon during colonoscopy and was used to achieve a successful procedure 97% of the time in the REDUCE study cases. The sub-analysis that shows a statistically significant correlation of the patient’s last bowel movement to adequacy of prep can be instrumental in implementing Pure-Vu into a hospital’s protocol with the goal to eliminate costly delays and delayed diagnoses for these inpatients,” stated Dr. Jason Samarasena, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California Irvine. The article covers clinical data from the REDUCE study. Prior toPure-Vu, adequate cleansing (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (“BBPS”) of = 2) were reported in 60%, 62%, and 47% for the left colon, transverse colon, and right colon segments, respectively. After intra-colonoscopy cleansing with the Pure-Vu System, adequate colon preparation was reported in 100%, 99%, and 97% of the left colon, transverse colon, and right colon segments, respectively. About the REDUCE Study The REDUCE (“Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement”) study was a multi-center inpatient prospective trial designed to evaluate Pure-Vu® System’s ability to consistently and reliably improve bowel preparation to facilitate a successful colonoscopy in a timely manner in patients who were indicated for a diagnostic colonoscopy. The study enrolled 95 hospitalized patients on schedule regardless of their level of pre-procedural bowel preparation. The primary endpoint for the study was improvement of bowel preparation from baseline to post procedure as assessed by the BBPS, which assesses the cleanliness of each of the three segments of the colon on a 0 to 3 scale and requires a minimum score of 2 or better per segment to be considered adequately prepped. Topline data from the REDUCE study evaluating the Pure-Vu® System was first announced in May 2019 at Digestive Disease Week® 2019 (“DDW”). About the Pure-Vu System The Pure-Vu System is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help facilitate the cleansing of a poorly prepared gastrointestinal tract during colonoscopy and to help facilitate upper GI endoscopy procedures. The Pure-Vu system has received a CE Mark in the EU for use on colonoscopy.
