| Device Description | Nice1 is a cold and compression therapy device used to aid<br>recovery and reduce pain associated with soft tissue injuries. The<br>device works by circulating cooled water and air through a<br>therapy wrap that is placed on the injured body part. The cooled<br>water circulates through the therapy wrap and provides cold<br>therapy; the air inflates the therapy wrap causing it to compress<br>around the injured body part. |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | The Nice1 uses thermoelectric technology to chill the water.<br>The Nice1 consists of 3 key components:<br>1. The control unit which chills the water and contains the<br>pneumatic system for inflating and deflating the therapy<br>wraps.<br>2. The hose assembly which connects to the control unit to<br>the therapy wrap and provides conduits for the flow of<br>water and air to and from the therapy wrap.<br>3. The therapy wrap which is placed on the patient and<br>wraps around the injured body part to deliver cold and<br>compression therapy. |
| | The control unit is an electromechanical, software-controlled<br>device housed in a plastic enclosure. The device is approximately<br>8 x 7.64 x 8" and weighs 10 lbs. Inside the control unit are a<br>thermoelectric heat exchange for cooling the water, a pneumatic<br>system to control the flow of air to/from the therapy wrap to<br>regulate compression, and electronics to control the therapy.<br>Integrated into the plastic enclosure is graphical touch screen that<br>displays outputs and receives inputs from the user. Temperature,<br>compression levels and therapy duration are selected by the user<br>via the graphical touch screen interface and controlled by a<br>microprocessor. |
| | The control unit contains a 300ml reservoir that is filled with<br>water by the user. Water from the reservoir is cooled by passing<br>through the thermoelectric heat exchange; it is then pumped from<br>the control unit through the hose assembly, through the therapy<br>wrap and then returns to the control unit to be re-chilled.<br>Temperature is controlled in five (5) levels ranging in<br>temperature from 59°F to 43°F. |
| | Compression can be set at low, medium and high settings ranging<br>from 0 mmHg to 75 mmHg. The compression cycles from high<br>to low on 2 – 5 minute intervals to achieve Intermittent |
| | Pneumatic Compression. |
| | The hose assembly is 6 feet long and consists of a foam rubber<br>outer sheath to provide insulation and 3 urethane tubes that carry<br>water and air to/from the control unit and therapy wrap. |
| | The therapy wraps are comprised of 3 layers of urethane coated<br>nylon that are welded together to make 2 separate air and liquid<br>tight layers for the air and water. The therapy wraps are tailored<br>to fit specific body parts. At the current time the company is only<br>marketing a knee wrap. Therapy wraps use a Velcro closure to<br>allow for customized fitting for different patients. |

| Summary of Technological | Nice1 and Game Ready have substantially equivalent functions: |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Characteristics in | -Both devices pump cooled water through a hose and therapy |
| Comparison to Predicate | wrap that is placed on the injured body part of the patient. |
| | -Both devices inflate and deflate the therapy wrap and regulate air |
| | pressure to achieve Intermittent Pneumatic Compression. |
| | -Both devices use a microprocessor to control water temperature, |
| | compression levels and therapy duration. |
| | -Both devices have therapy wraps that correspond to specific |
| | body parts. |
| | -Both devices use therapy wraps that are comprised of 3 layers of |
| | urethane coated nylon that are welded together to make 2 separate |
| | air and liquid tight layers for the air and water. |
| | Nice1 differs from Game Ready in only 3 significant aspects: |
| | Nice1 uses thermoelectric technology to cool the water, so<br>1. |
| | the patient only needs to add water to the reservoir. Game |
| | Ready uses ice to cool the water, so the patient must fill |
| | the reservoir with both ice and water. |
| | 2.<br>Because Nice1 and Game Ready use different methods to |
| | cool the water (thermoelectric vs. ice) the devices use |
| | different water flow rates to maintain the same levels of |
| | cold therapy. The differing flow rates are completely |
| | transparent to the user as the user is only aware of the cold |
| | therapy which is identical regardless of the fact that the |
| | water is flowing at different rates inside of the system. |
| | 3.<br>Nice1 uses a graphical touch screen to display options and |
| | |
| | messages as well as receive inputs from the user. Game Ready uses physical dials, buttons and a liquid crystal display to display options and messages as well as receive inputs from the user. Both products have substantially equivalent functions and provide equivalent therapies. |
| Non-clinical Testing | Nice1 complies with AAMI ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012, AI:2012 general requirements for electrical safety and IEC 60601-1-2:2007 electromagnetic compatibility.<br>Substantial equivalence with the predicate device is supported by Performance testing. Performance data demonstrates comparable results for cold therapy and compression therapy. A summary of the testing results follows: |
| | 1. Cold Therapy: The Nicel and Game Ready operate at similar therapeutic temperatures. The coldest temperature for the Nice1 is 43 degrees F while the coldest temperature for Game Ready is 37 degrees F. |
| | The main difference demonstrated in non-clinical testing was that the Game Ready reaches cold temperatures quicker than Nicel because it uses ice to cool water. Ice has an almost instantaneous effect while the thermoelectric technology used by Nicel requires a cool-down time of approximately 5 – 10 minutes to reach the target low temperature. |
| | 2. Compression Therapy: Compression Therapy: The Nicel and Game Ready devices both operate at the same compression levels and cycle times. |
| | At the High setting: the Nicel inflated to 75 mmHg for 2.5 minutes and then deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. The Game Ready inflated to 75 mmHg for 2.5 minutes and deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. |
| | At the Medium setting: the Nicel inflated to 50 mmHg for 2.5 minutes and then deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. The Game Ready inflated to 50 mmHg for 2.5 minutes and deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. |
| | At the Low setting: the Nicel inflated to 15 mmHg for 4.5 minutes and then deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. The |
| | Game Ready inflated to 15 mmHg for 4.5 minutes and<br>deflated to 5 mmHg for 1 minute. |
| Conclusions from Non-Clinical Testing | Testing demonstrates that the Nice1 is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the Game Ready device. |
| Clinical Testing | No clinical testing data are submitted, referenced or relied on to determine substantial equivalence. |
