Based in Redwood City, California, and Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Pulmonx is the maker of the Zephyr® Valve. The Zephyr Valve was granted breakthrough status and approved by the FDA in June 2018, because according to the FDA it “represents a breakthrough technology as the device offers bronchoscopic lung volume reduction without surgery and its associated risks. This device offers a significant, clinically meaningful advantage over the current standard of care and therefore, its availability is also in the best interest of patients.”
The company’s commercially available portfolio includes the Zephyr Valve. More than 100 scientific articles have been published on the clinical benefits of Zephyr Valves, including multiple meta-analyses, review articles, cost-effectiveness analyses and risk-benefit analyses. It also includes:

The Zephyr Endobronchial Valve is an implantable device used to occlude all airways feeding the hyperinflated lobe of a lung that is most diseased with emphysema.
StratX® Lung Analysis Reports
A cloud-based quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis service that provides information on emphysema destruction, fissure completeness, and lobar volume to help identify target lobes for the Zephyr Valve treatment.
The Chartis® Pulmonary Assessment System
A proprietary balloon catheter and console provides precise flow and pressure readings for specific lobes in the lung to assess absence of collateral ventilation.
This combination of assessment tools and therapeutics enables physicians to successfully predict outcomes and provide optimal treatment for each individual patient.
