"MIVI looks forward to working with FDA to incorporate the recommended protocol modifications in order to initiate and complete the EVaQ Study in the most rapid manner, and ultimately support a marketing clearance submission," said Bob Colloton, Chief Executive Officer of MIVI.  "We are very excited about the future of the Q Catheter in the United States, building off the success of our devices in Europe."
