#### Device Description: IV

The KegelFit is a hand-held, home-use device designed to treat female stress urinary incontinence. The device is supplied with a vaginal two electrode stimulation probe (Trainer). The trainer connects to the control unit by cable and plug and is inserted into the vagina by the end user. Electrical stimulation is delivered via stainless steel electrodes on the trainer to induce a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Muscle stimulation is used to train and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in a controlled manner. Muscle stimulation is used to improve the ability of muscles to hold a contraction for an extended period of time and is a treatment for urinary incontinence. During a session, stimulation is delivered to specific muscles to encourage their contraction. This contraction strengthens the muscles and also helps the end user recognize which muscles to activate during self-directed contractions. The level of electrical stimulation is easily controlled by the end user using manual, push-button controls.

The device is battery powered single channel home use neuromuscular stimulation. Electrical stimulation is delivered via stainless steel electrodes on the inflatable probe to induce a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Muscle stimulation is used to train and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in a controlled manner. Muscle stimulation is used to improve the ability of muscles to hold a contraction for an extended period of time and is a treatment for urinary incontinence. During a session, stimulation is delivered to specific muscles to encourage their contraction. This contraction strengthens the muscles and also helps the end user recognize which muscles to activate during self-directed contractions. The level of electrical stimulation is easily controlled by the end user using manual, push-button controls.

The unit is intended for home use by the patient, and is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It has two preset treatment programs, a preset treatment timer, a compliance monitor, and open circuit detectors.

{5}------------------------------------------------

#### V The intended use of the device:

KegelFit is a non-implanted muscle stimulator designed to treat female stress urinary incontinence. It applies stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles to improve strength and support.

The intended use and indications for use of the new device are the same as those of the predicate device Apex K141158

KegelFit for over-the-counter use was evaluated for safety in two ways:-

-Ability to self-diagnose and identify whether contraindication apply was established by detailed comparison with labeling and instructional packaging of the predicate device Apex K141158

-Ability to use effectively was established by analysis of customer reviews over 4 years and 13758 OTC sales of the predicate device itouch Sure K103698 through Amazon UK. The user manual was revised three times over this period in response to customer feedback and to comply with EN60601-1-11.

The device labeling and packaging (which includes a box, detailed instructions for use, and laminated quick reference guide) allow the end user to accurately self-diagnose and use the product to treat stress urinary incontinence.

#### VI Equivalence Comparison to the Predicate Devices

Electrical muscle stimulation is the technological principle for both KeqelFit and the predicate devices, Apex (K141158) and itouch Sure (K103698). It is based on the use of the electrical muscle stimulator to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Table 6 below summarizes the shared and unique technological elements between the KegelFit, itouch Sure, and Apex devices. The technology, engineering, performance and user interface for KegelFit is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Intended Use has been changed from prescription to OTC and from all types of incontinence only, and the available settings and labeling have been modified to allow for this change. The intended use, labeling and user interface for KegelFit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Apex.

The KegelFit is a relabelled version of the itouch Sure(K103698). The components, electronics, and accessories are identical. The display and software have been modified in line with the change in Intended Use. The physical differences between the two versions of the product are:

| | KegelFit | Itouch Sure | Explanation |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Program name | TRAIN | STRES | To be less technical, and stress the need for Kegel exercises. |
| Program name | X | URGE | Removed as Urge and Mixed are not included in the Intended Use |
| Program name | X | MIXED | Removed as Urge and Mixed are not included in the Intended Use |
| Treatment<br>Timer | Default 20 min ,<br>10 min selectable | Default 20 min, up to 60 min selectable | Only adverse report received was of over-use leading to muscle cramping. IFU amended.<br>Longer treatment times removed. |
| Keypad | On/Off Colour coded | | ON/OFF buttons colour coded to clarify operation |

{6}------------------------------------------------

The KegelFit is substantially equivalent to the itouch Sure, which has been approved for home and hospital use on prescription.

Safety and effectiveness for home use with professional instruction is therefore established.

The KegelFit packaging and instructions for use are substantially equivalent to that of the Apex for the relevant criteria:-

- . How well the lay user can self-select themselves as being appropriate users
- Whether the lay user can understand all indications, contraindications, warnings and . precautions, and be able to identify whether they are within any contraindicated group.

This Substantial Equivalence is established by detailed comparison of labeling in Section 12. The KegelFit uses identical or substantially equivalent wording, frequency of use, and positioning of Intended Audience, Contraindications, Warnings and Cautions.

The final comparison is that of the ability of the lay user to be able to apply the treatment safely and correctly according to the instructions for use without training.

TensCare presents analysis of Customer Reviews from OTC sales of 13,768 units of itouch Sure through Amazon UK and 21 customer questionnaires sent to 120 users of itouch Sure as evidence that the lay user finds the device easy to use and the instructions easy to follow.
