A Retrospective, Multi-center Real-world Study of Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) Procedure With the CVAC® System

An observational study in Urolithiasis, Kidney Stone and Kidney Stones, sponsored by Calyxo, Inc.. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-28.

Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Kidney Calculi, a narrower term within Urolithiasis.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This is a retrospective, multi-center collaboration to assess real-world outcomes of a novel steerable aspiration system, the CVAC® System ("CVAC"), and flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) for the treatment of urinary stones.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is observation of the safety and efficacy of subjects who underwent SURE procedure using the CVAC System or FANS for the removal of kidney stones in candidates for URS with laser lithotripsy. Efficacy will be observed by reviewing stone free status on standard of care post-procedure imaging. Safety will be observed by reviewing procedural information and if subjects had urologic events leading to Emergency Department (ED) visits, hospitalization, or retreatment.

Groups and cohorts

  • Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) with CVAC System

    The CVAC Aspiration System is a sterile, single use, steerable ureteral catheter system with integrated vision, irrigation and aspiration for the treatment and removal of urinary stones (kidney stones, fragments, and dust).

    Device: CVAC® SYSTEM

  • FLEXIBLE AND NAVIGATIONAL URETERAL ACCESS SHEATH (FANS) IN FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPY (FURS)

    FANS is designed to incorporate suction to facilitate stone fragment removal through its lumen and is used with a separate ureteroscope. FANS is fitted with a Y connector with a pressure control vent and connects to a standard vacuum device. A separate ureteroscope provides direct visualization and irrigation and a separate specimen collector captures stone debris.
