RhinAer  – A Comprehensive, Non-Invasive Solution for Chronic Rhinitis

For many patients struggling with chronic rhinitis, medical management does not provide the long-lasting relief they seek, and they remain tied to tissues and sprays to cope with their daily symptoms.

Most current, in-office rhinitis treatments are not comprehensive solutions, and surgical options like septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or other ablative technologies have mixed patient responses and may not alleviate all symptoms.

Compact and portable, the Aerin® Console and the RhinAer Stylus fit seamlessly into any clinic, office, or hospital environment. RhinAer is a convenient and efficient treatment option to integrate into your practice.

RhinAer Treats the Causes of Chronic Rhinitis

RhinAer treats the root causes of rhinorrhea / post-nasal drip and congestion in a single session.

  • Disrupts the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) that triggers rhinitis
  • May be used to treat the full length of inferior turbinate to address congestion

The RhinAer stylus employs proprietary, temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) technology optimized for the nasal airway. Once the stylus is activated, the Aerin System automatically maintains the tip’s target temperature for therapeutic benefit while sparing surrounding tissue, including mucosa.

Patients undergoing the treatment experience minimal discomfort and recovery time.* In a recent study with the Aerin Console, there was no aerosol generation above background levels, thereby enhancing safety for physicians and staff.1

Who Benefits Most from the RhinAer Treatment?

  • Patients with moderate to severe chronic rhinorrhea, post-nasal drip, congestion, and/or chronic clearing of the throat
  • Allergy immunotherapy patients with continued drainage
  • Non-allergic chronic rhinitis patients
  • Post-FESS patients with uncontrolled rhinitis

The RhinAer Advantage

  • Disrupts posterior nasal nerve (PNN) that triggers rhinitis
  • May be used to treat full length of inferior turbinate
  • Incisionless and can be done under local anesthesia
  • Patients are typically able to return to normal activities the same day

The demonstrated relief your patients with chronic rhinitis deserve

2-Year results from the RhinAer pivotal trial2

RhinAer responder rate at 24 months data

88.2% of patients were classified as responders after achieving ≥30% reduction in rTNSS compared to baseline.

RhinAer rTNSS reduction baseline vs 24 months data

65.5% overall rTNSS reduction with all rTNSS sub-scores (rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing) showing statistically significant (p<.001) reduction over baseline at 24 months.

RhinAer 24 month symptom reduction data

At 24-months post-nasal drip and chronic cough symptom scores remained significantly (p<.001) improved from baseline at all follow-up time points.

† The Reflective Total Nose Symptom Score (rTNSS) is a validated patient reported outcome used to describe symptoms of rhinitis. The assessment consists of 4 nasal symptom domains (runny nose [rhinorrhea], itchy nose, sneezing, and stuffiness [nasal congestion]). Each item is rated from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). The 4 domains are added together to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 12.

RhinAer delivers symptom improvement in chronic rhinitis of allergic, non-allergic, and unknown etiologies

Treatment resulted in statistically significant mean rTNSS improvements for patients suffering from chronic rhinitis of allergic, non-allergic, and unknown etiologies, (p<0.001)

RhinAer rTNSS baseline and 24 months reduction data

RhinAer is a well-tolerated procedure that can be performed safely to reduce the symptoms of chronic rhinitis

NO serious adverse events related to the device and/or procedure were observed

NO device- or procedure-related headaches were reported in the Pivotal Study through 2 years

Study design: Prospective, multi-center, single-arm study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RhinAer® Stylus (RhinAer) on patients with chronic rhinitis symptoms for at least 6 months duration.

Patients: Initial Pivotal Study included a total of 50 patients treated with RhinAer across five US centers with follow-up at 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-months post-procedure. Thirty-four (34) patients completed extended follow-up through 24 months.

Primary endpoints:

  • Change in rTNSS at baseline and 12 weeks post procedure
  • Percentage of participants with treatment-related adverse events (safety)
