Arteriocyte Medical Systems has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for a product associated with its Magellan stem cell harvesting medical device.
The latest FDA approval for the Cleveland-based company concerns an anticoagulant solution used in the device, which harvests and quickly concentrates stem cells and blood platelets during surgeries. These concentrated cells can be injected into a patient to boost the body’s ability to repair itself.
Earlier this year, Arteriocyte received FDA approval to begin a phase 1 clinical trial investigating the device in treating compartment syndrome, a serious condition that involves a buildup of fluid pressure in soft tissue compartments within the body.

Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
Another phase 1 trial is investigating the device in treating critical limb ischemia.
“The synergy that the Magellan technology brings to our core efforts is a device that enables rapid bedside processing of tissue — blood or bone marrow — that delivers back to the surgeon a concentrated injectate of those cells for use as the surgeon deems appropriate,” Arteriocyte CEO Don Brown said in a 2010 interview with MedCity News.
