	NEWS RELEASE

Invuity Provides Update on PhotonBlade Commercialization

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2017 - Invuity, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVTY), a medical technology company focused on minimal access surgery, today provided an update on plans for PhotonBlade commercialization. As previously announced, the Company began a limited market release of PhotonBlade in March, 2017.  During this phase, the Company gathered feedback on product performance which has informed upcoming product enhancements for PhotonBlade.  In addition, a small number of customer observations were recently received, which related to possible unintended energy discharge with the potential to cause tissue damage to patients.  To mitigate the potential for patient injury, the Company has elected to initiate a voluntary recall andremove the small number of remaining units from the field.  The company expects to begin shipping product again in the third quarter of 2017, after planned product enhancements have been made. 

“During this limited market release, we received extremely positive market feedback on PhotonBlade. However, due to a small number of reports of unintended energy release from the device we have proactively elected to take these steps”, said President and CEO Phillip Sawyer.  “This is consistent with our corporate values centering on quality and safety and we are rapidly implementing product improvements in preparation for a full market release.”
