IBV Trial Screening & Sites.htm

This trial is for men and women between the ages of 40 and 74 who have a confirmed diagnosis of emphysema. The objective of the trial is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the IBV Valve at redirecting airflow from diseased portions of the lung to healthier areas to achieve improvement in disease-related health status.
Spiration uses a Phone service whereby the potential patient can take a pre-screening survey, either on line or by calling a toll free number. We have found that the "prescreener " is a time saver for the potential patient, no time is wasted driving to an appointment, unless it is a good medical option for their stage of emphysema. Toll free number for a "pre screening survey" is 1-877-547-8830
