| Positive Foreign Body Aspiration - 8 y.o. Male |

Patient History
The patient was admitted with a persistent cough for 5 days. Patient work-up and chest X-ray revealed no pathological findings. A foreign body was suspected as the cause of the cough. Prior to a flexible bronchoscopy procedure, a standard 12 second non-invasive procedure of the VRIxp™ device was performed.

| Explanation: the indications on the image by the VRIxp™ device are consistent with a massive blockage in the lung, thus precluding the need for a preliminary exam with flexible bronchoscopy. The patient was therefore taken directly to the operating room to remove the foreign body by rigid bronchoscopy. |
