9. Patients who are immunocompromised or taking immunosuppressive therapy

10. Any concurrent therapy that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the Study investigational device

11. Patient has ongoing malignant disease of any type, active systemic, local skin infection or disease, autoimmune disease or any significant chronic disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the evaluation of the Study objectives or would result in non-compliance with the Study protocol
