Mallinckrodt Statement on Praxair Patent Infringement Ruling

Sept. 5, 2017

We are aware of and disappointed in Judge Sleet's ruling today in Mallinckrodt's case against Praxair for patent infringement, particularly in light of the fact that INOMAX® is used for treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure in fragile neonates. However, we have a solid basis for appeal and will appeal this decision. INOMAX enjoys regulatory exclusivity until October 9, 2018.

About INOMAX®

In the U.S., INOMAX is indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with HRF associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents.

Important Safety Information

• INOMAX is contraindicated in the treatment of neonates dependent on right-to-left shunting of blood.
• Abrupt discontinuation of INOMAX may lead to increasing pulmonary artery pressure and worsening oxygenation.
• Methemoglobinemia and NO2 levels are dose dependent. Nitric oxide donor compounds may have an additive effect with INOMAX on the risk of developing methemoglobinemia. Nitrogen dioxide may cause airway inflammation and damage to lung tissues.
• In patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction, INOMAX may increase pulmonary capillary wedge pressure leading to pulmonary edema.
• Monitor for PaO2, methemoglobin, and inspired NO2 during INOMAX administration.
• INOMAX must be administered using a calibrated INOmax DSIR® Nitric Oxide Delivery System operated by trained personnel. Only validated ventilator systems should be used in conjunction with INOMAX.
