Since announcing the development of this evolutionary delivery platform in July 2021, Altaviz has experienced strong new business opportunities and is currently working with multiple organizations who are leaders in the sub-retinal gene and drug delivery market. The Advent R400e, which was originally launched as the MVI Platform, has garnered significant excitement and interest because it elevates the delivery of subretinal gene therapy to a single-handed surgical procedure with flow-controlled, consistent bleb creation, electronic dose monitoring, and has a host of robust features which improve patient outcomes and reduce therapy waste. The Advent 400e is uniquely designed for the delivery of life-changing therapies, including gene therapy, stem cell therapy and biologics. Advent R400e The Advent R400e is a complete delivery solution which includes the base unit, two self-priming transfer syringes and an integrated tablet application (Bluetooth) with a simple user interface to measure and monitor dosing (microliter resolution). To support consistent and controlled bleb creation, the unit provides visual and audio feedback. The Advent R400e is easily configurable to support delivery rates from 100 to 1,000 μL/min, supports 23-27 Gauge Cannula, and handles dosing volumes up to 350 μL. "The activity around the Advent R400e is extremely exciting," says Jack Auld, CEO at Altaviz. "Ours is the first and only holistic solution for sub retinal injection of stem cells or gene therapies and it is exponentially more effective in both bleb creation and dosing than current injector solutions." Prior to the Advent R400e, subretinal gene therapies were performed in a surgical environment using 30+ year old injection devices with either manual or console control. These legacy injectors provided limited ability to control the administration of the therapy, thus no control of the bleb initiation or filling. As innovative therapies come to market, it is imperative to rethink the delivery of those therapies. The Altaviz team is dedicated to this cause. Altaviz continues to invest in research and development capabilities, design and innovation capabilities and quick-turn prototyping to convert surgical and clinical needs into innovative medical device solutions. "The research focus around Stem cells and gene therapies is extremely active and has created a development pipeline that is full with life-changing therapies. Altaviz's focus on creating a new system to overcome the many shortcomings of the current delivery approaches birthed a solution with the power to change lives. With the Advent R400e, we now have the technology to deliver a consistent, controlled experience ensuring that these vitally important, game changing therapies are delivered with accuracy and consistency. Now, Altaviz and innovative pharmaceutical companies are collaborating for life-changing patient care." says Auld.
