Indications for Use
Indicated for women experiencing pelvic floor muscle weakness and stress and/or urge urinary incontinence.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A perineometer is a device consisting of a fluid-filled sack for intravaginal use that is attached to an external manometer. The devices measure the strength of the perineal muscles by offering resistence to a patient's voluntary contractions of these muscles and is used to diagnose and to correct, through exercise, uninary incontinence or sexual dysfunction.

### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### Summary of Differences in Technological Characteristics
The subject and predicate device do not have the same technological characteristics. The different technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device are as follows:
- Measurement of contraction strength The subject devices use an electric ● resistance strain gauge, and the predicate device uses a MEMS air pressure sensor.
- Levels of resistance The subject devices have five levels of resistance, and the . predicate device has three.
- Feedback mechanism The subject devices use vibrations to prompt the user to . contract their pelvic floor muscles, whereas the predicate device uses visual cues on an LCD screen.
- . Exercise routines - The subject and predicate devices utilize different exercise routines.
The different technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, as pelvic floor muscle exercise devices often vary with respect to their measurement of contraction strength, levels of resistance, feedback mechanism, and exercise routines.
{6}------------------------------------------------
#### Summary of Performance Data of KegelSmart and KegelSmart Pearl
There is evidence in the published literature that regular pelvic floor muscle training results in a significant increase in pelvic floor muscle strength, is an effective treatment for stress or mixed urinary incontinence.
Intimina KegelSmart and KegelSmart Pearl (model 1 and 2) are in conformity with the applicable requirements of the following documents:
| Ref. No. | Title |
|------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ISO 10993-5 | Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 5 Tests in vitro cytotoxicity |
| ISO 10993-10 | Biological evaluation of medical devices. Part 10: Tests for irritation and<br>skin sensitization |
| IEC 60601-1 3rd<br>ed. | Medical electrical equipment -Part 1: General requirements for basic<br>safety and essential performance |
| IEC 60601-1-2:<br>2007 | Medical electrical equipment -Part 1-2:General requirements for safety<br>-Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility -Requirements and<br>tests |
The software for the Intimina KegelSmart Pearl is in line with the recommendations outlined in the FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" issued in final on May 11, 2005.
Functional performance testing was provided on the Intimina KegelSmart and KegelSmart Pearl demonstrating that it operates per its Instructions for Use.
#### Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the Intimina KegelSmart and Intimina KegelSmart Pearl are substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device.
