12. Current enrollment in any other investigational drug or device trial.
13. Any condition that the investigator believes might interfere with study results or put the subject at significant risk with participation.

22. Patients on a regimen of medications (e.g., aspirin or ibuprofen) or other substances known to increase coagulation time (e.g., herbal supplements with garlic or Gingko Biloba) within 10 days of undergoing study device injection (study device injection may have been delayed as necessary to accommodate this 10-day washout period)
