This is a prospective, open-label, multi-center study to test the clinical feasibility of facilitating stone passage by the combination of breaking and repositioning stones with ultrasound, without the need for anesthesia.
This is a prospective, open-label, multi-center study to test the clinical feasibility of facilitating stone passage by the combination of breaking and repositioning stones with ultrasound, without the need for anesthesia.
Subjects will be included across three phases:
This study has completed Phase 1. The study is currently recruiting for Phase 2b. Recruitment has not yet started for Phase 2a.
Up to 3 distinct targets may be treated per subject. The maximum total dose exposure is 30 minutes for one session. Subjects may return after at least 21 days and after all AEs have resolved for an additional session on the same side. Subjects may return after imaging follow-up for inclusion of their contralateral side.

| Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL) and Ultrasonic Propulsion (UP) | Device | Novel ultrasound technologies to facilitate passage of stones.This includes Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL), a technology to noninvasively fragment urinary calculi within the kidney and ureter, and ultrasonic propulsion, a technology to non-invasively reposition stones within the kidney and ureter. BWL uses short multi-cycle bursts of low amplitude ultrasound to induce stone fracture. This is in contrast to traditional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), which employs a brief single compression/tensile cycle of high amplitude (shock) waves to achieve stone fracture. Ultrasonic propulsion uses long multi-cycle bursts of low amplitude ultrasound to move stones within the collecting system. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Safety - incidence of return healthcare visits. | Incidence of return health care visits associated with the device or procedure. | Day of procedure to 14 months post-procedure |
| Effectiveness - stone comminution into fragments 2 mm or less. | Number of cases where the largest dimension of any residual stone in the study kidney is less than or equal to 2 mm. | Day of procedure to 4 months posts procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety - incidence of adverse events (AEs) | The incidence of all adverse events (AEs) associated with the device or procedure | Day of procedure to 4 months posts procedure |
| Effectiveness - % residual stone volume |
