4. Patients with a known or suspected allergy to device components
5. Patients with known hemophilia
6. Patients with insulin dependent diabetics
7. Patients with an oral steroid dependent condition
8. Patients with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, posterior subcapsular cataracts
9. Patients with a (previous) diagnosis of Samter's Triad (aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD))
10. Patients that require nasal ointments or creams at time of device placement
11. Patients with a neurological, medical, psychiatric condition, or social circumstance that would potentially increase risk, interfere with study participation, or confound interpretation of study data
12. Patients with plans to (or otherwise anticipate the need to) undergo an ear, nose, throat (ENT) procedure within the 90 day study follow up
13. Patients participating in another clinical research study (within 30 days prior to screening up till 90 days post-operative).
