Intended Use

The TUNA® System Product Family, including Precision™ TUNA® Office System and PROVu™ TUNA® System, is indicated for use in the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in men over the age of 50 with prostate sizes between 20 and 50 cc.

Device Story

The TUNA (Transurethral Needle Ablation) System is a minimally invasive electrosurgical device used to treat BPH symptoms. The system consists of an RF generator, a sterile single-use cartridge with a reusable handle, a telescope, a return electrode, and tubing. The physician operates the device to deliver low-level 460 KHz RF energy (up to 15 W) via two needles directly into the prostatic tissue. This energy creates a localized necrotic lesion, reducing prostate tissue volume to improve urinary flow. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting, often under regional (spinal) anesthesia. By relieving the obstruction, the device aims to improve patient uroflow and reduce BPH-related symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and retention. Clinical outcomes are assessed by healthcare providers using AUA symptom scores, quality of life scores, and peak flow rate measurements.

Clinical Evidence

Evidence includes two multi-center clinical studies (PMT and PO1) and a randomized study comparing TUNA to TURP. Total population included 111 TUNA-treated patients. Primary endpoints were AUA symptom score, quality of life (QOL) score, and peak flow rate (Qmax) measured at 6 and 12 months. Results showed TUNA improved AUA scores (baseline 23.8 to 11.9 at 12 months) and peak flow rates (baseline 8.9 to 14.8 at 12 months). Safety data indicated low rates of serious adverse events, with no reported incontinence.

Technological Characteristics

System components: RF generator, sterile single-use cartridge, reusable handle, telescope, single-use return electrode, tubing. Energy source: 460 KHz RF energy, max 15 W. Delivery mechanism: Two needles for interstitial tissue ablation. Sterilization: Sterile single-use components. Connectivity: Standalone electrosurgical unit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for men over 50 with urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate sizes between 20 and 50 cc.

Each System of the TUNA System Product Family is indicated for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men over the age of 50 with prostate sizes between 20 and 50 cc. Each System of the TUNA System Product Family delivers low levels of 460 KHz RF energy up to 15 W from each of the 2 needles directly into prostatic tissue to produce a localized necrotic lesion to treat the symptoms associate with BPH. In two multi-centers clinical studies a total of 50 patients with both lateral and median lobe enlargement were treated with the VidaMed Tuna System to relieve their symptoms of BPH and improve their uroflow. The studies demonstrated safety and efficacy in using the VidaMed TUNA system. It was further demonstrated that a shortened needle length across the median lobe starting 1 cm down from the bladder neck and penetrating directly into the adenoma and applying RF energy has not increased the risks associated with the use of the TUNA system from that of treating the lateral lobes. Therefore, it was concluded that the contraindication of patient's with an enlarged middle lobe can be deleted. {1}------------------------------------------------ K012587 Page 2 of 3 # Clinical Study Design Clinical studies using the TUNA® procedure were performed at multiple medical institutions throughout Clinical studies using the TONA procedure were performs secondary to benign prostate hyperplasia the United States.

One hundred and sixty seven (167) men over 50 years of age or older with symonmatic BPH were enrolled in this original trial. One hundred and twenty one (121) of these patients were randomized to either TUNA® or TURP: sixty five (65) were treated with TUNA® and fifty six (56) underwent TURP. Forty six (46) additional non-randomized patients were treated with TUNA, making the total TUNA® treated population one hundred and eleven (111). Mean change and percentage change from baseline and between the two groups for AUA (American Urological Association) symptom score, quality of life (QOL) score and post void residual urine volume were measured at 12 months following treatment. {2}------------------------------------------------ | | Timepoint | | | |---------------------------|-----------|---------|----------| | Parameter | Baseline | 6 month | 12 month | | AUA Symptom Score | | | | | TUNA | 23.8 | 10.6 | 11.9 | | TURP | 24.1 | 7.9 | 7.8 | | Peak Flow Rate | | | | | TUNA | 8.9 | 13.4 | 14.8 | | TURP | 8.9 | 21.0 | 21.1 | | Post Void Residual Volume | | | | | TUNA | 91.4 | 63.6 | 65.9 | | TURP | 81.9 | 45.6 | 47.1 | | Quality of Life | | | | | TUNA | 4.7 | 1.9 | 1.9 | | TURP | 4.8 | 1.6 | 1.4 | ### Efficacy Data of the TUNA* vs. TURP Study Table 1-2 * TUNA treated 111 patients Similar results were seen from the additional studies (lateral and median lobes).
