INDICATIONS FOR USE
The ORBERA365 System is to be used in conjunction with
a long-term supervised diet and behavior modification
program designed to increase the possibility of long-term
weight loss maintenance.
The ORBERA365 System is indicated for:
• Temporary use for weight loss in overweight and obese
patients (BMI 27-50) who failed to achieve and maintain
weight loss with a supervised weight-control program.
• Pre-surgical temporary use for weight loss in obese and
super obese patients (BMI 40 and above or a BMI of 35
with comorbidities) prior to obesity or other surgery, in
order to reduce surgical risk
The maximum placement period for the ORBERA365
System is 12 months, and it must be removed at that time or
earlier.

esophageal reflux symptoms.
A structural abnormality in the esophagus or pharynx
•
such as a stricture or diverticulum that could impede

emptying, or presence of any other severe motility
disorder that that may pose a safety risk during
placement or removal of the device.
•

WARNINGS
Proper positioning of the Placement Catheter Assembly
•
and the IGB within the stomach (using measured
distance from the incisors via the insertion tube
markings) is necessary to allow proper filling. Lodging
of the IGB in the esophageal opening during filling may
cause serious injury. Failure to confirm proper
positioning may cause injury to the esophagus,
duodenum, or pylorus.
When filling the IGB during the placement procedure,
•
avoid rapid fill rates as these will generate high pressure
which can damage the IGB valve or cause premature
detachment of the IGB from the tip of the placement
catheter.
Each patient must be monitored closely during the
•
entire term of treatment in order to detect the
development of possible adverse events. Each patient
should be instructed regarding symptoms of deflation,
gastrointestinal obstruction, acute pancreatitis, IGB
