Intended Use
The miraDry System MD4000 is indicated for use in the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis plus unwanted underarm hair removal, and permanent reduction of underarm hair of all colors for Fitzpatrick skin types I - IV. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.
Device Story
The miraDry System MD4000 is a microwave-based device used in dermatology clinics by trained professionals to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis and remove underarm hair. The system consists of a console, a handpiece, and a sterile, disposable bioTip. The console generates microwave energy, which is delivered via the handpiece to the dermal-hypodermal interface where sweat glands and hair bulbs reside. The device uses localized heat to destroy these structures while simultaneously applying surface cooling to protect the epidermis. The system includes integrated vacuum and cooling controls. Clinicians use the device to perform treatment sessions; the output is the thermal ablation of target tissues. Patients benefit from reduced sweating and permanent hair reduction. The system is software-driven and requires a template system and priming kit for setup.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective clinical trial of 56 adult subjects (mean age 33, 80% female, 88% Caucasian, Fitzpatrick I-IV) across three US dermatology clinics. Subjects received 1-2 treatments 3 months apart. Primary endpoint: >30% hair reduction in >50% of subjects at 3 months (met: 88.1%). Secondary endpoint: permanent hair reduction at 12 months (met: 95.5% of subjects achieved >30% reduction). Adverse events were primarily mild, transient localized edema, tingling, and tenderness; one case of unilateral ulnar neuropathy reported.
Technological Characteristics
Microwave energy source; console-based system with handpiece and disposable sterile bioTip. Operates via localized thermal ablation at the dermal-hypodermal interface. Includes integrated vacuum and surface cooling systems. Software-driven console with touch-screen interface. No specific material standards or ASTM numbers provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis and permanent underarm hair reduction in adults of all hair colors, Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

#### PREDICATE DEVICES
The miraDry System MD4000 (K131162).
#### REFERENCE DEVICE
The Microwave Delivery System Model MMC-330 (K991456).
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The miraDry System MD4000 is a microwave device designed to heat tissue located at the dermal- hypodermal interface where the axillary sweat glands and hair bulbs reside using a surface contact applicator. The miraDry System MD4000 consists of: the MD4000-MC Console; the MD4000-HP miraDry Handpiece; and a disposable, sterile MD4000-BT miraDry bioTip that snaps onto the Handpiece to provide a sterile protective cover.
As described in K131162, the miraDry System MD4000 also includes Class I components/accessories. The MD4000-TS template system is a required component for the miraDry treatment as well as the MD4000-PK priming kit. The MD4000-PK priming kit is required when the system is initially set up at a user facility. Optional accessories include an armrest and disposable ice packs.
The MD4000-MC Console is a software-driven device which contains circuit boards, a microwave generator, integrated vacuum and cooling systems, and an integrated touch-screen user interface.
The non-invasive miraDry Handpiece is specifically designed to deliver microwave energy to the skin at specified frequency and power levels. The proximal end of the Handpiece has a cable bundle and a console connector that supplies the energy and cooling to the Handpiece. The distal end has a sterile, disposable barrier, the miraDry bioTip, which contacts the patient.
#### SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The miraDry System MD4000 with the revised, expanded indication to include underarm hair removal is substantially equivalent to the miraDry System MD4000 as previously cleared for sweat reduction. The subject and predicate device have the same fundamental technology, design, and method of usage. A comparison of the two devices is shown in Table 1 below.

## NON-CLINICAL TESTING
There was no additional non-clinical testing that was completed, as the device being used is the same as the cleared device (miraDry System MD4000, cleared under K131162).
{6}------------------------------------------------
## CLINICAL TESTING
The safety and effectiveness of the clinical application of the miraDry System MD4000 for sweat reduction was demonstrated in prior clinical studies. The performance for underarm hair reduction was demonstrated in a clinical trial of 56 subjects.
The primary objective of this study was to quantify hair reduction in the axillae after treatment(s) with the miraDry System MD4000. The study device was used in the same manner as the commercially available technique cleared by the FDA for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, as described in the User Manual.
The study was conducted at three private dermatology clinics in the United States. The study was initiated at the first site in September of 2012. Adult subjects seeking hair reduction in the axillae were considered for enrollment. Subjects were treated with the miraDry System MD4000 using the standard miraDry procedure in one or two treatment sessions 3 months apart.
Fifty-six subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 33 years; 80% of the subjects were female and 88% were Caucasian. The majority of the subjects were of Fitzpatrick skin type I-IV. 23% (13/56) of the subjects completed only one treatment session; 5 of these 13 subjects declined a second session due to adverse events. The primary endpoint of this study was to show >30% reduction (baseline to 3 month, measured by hair counts) in >50% of subjects. There were 42 subjects assessable for this endpoint. The secondary endpoint was to show >30% reduction (comparing baseline to 12 months photos) to make a claim for permanent axillary hair reduction. Additional analyses used a blinded comparison of baseline to follow-up full-axilla photos by an independent physician reviewer to correctly identify which photo had more hair and score hair reduction at follow-up. Also, a subject assessment of overall satisfaction, odor rating and sweat ratings was determined at the follow-up visits. A summary of the results is presented in Table 2 below.

| Efficacy measure | Follow-up visit time from the last treatment session | | | |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| | 3 months | 6 month | 9 month | 12 month |

| Patient satisfaction with hair<br>reduction: % of subjects<br>rating "very satisfied" or<br>"somewhat satisfied" | 81%<br>(38/47) | 70%<br>(31/44) | 68%<br>(30/44) | 70%<br>(33/47) |
| Odor self-assessment, Mean<br>reduction 10pt scale | 2.6 ± 3.0 | 2.8 ± 2.8 | 2.5 ± 2.8 | 2.4 ± 2.7 |
| % of subjects with HDSS<br>reduction to score of 1 or 2 | 92%<br>(23/25) | 96%<br>(25/26) | 96%<br>(24/25) | 89%<br>(25/28) |
#### 2: Summary of Efficacy Results
Both the primary and secondary endpoints were met, since the percentage of patients with hair reduction of at least 30% was significantly higher than 50% at all follow-up timepoints.
All subjects experienced at least one (1) treatment-related adverse event (AE), 99% (324/326) of all AE's were rated as mild in severity. Many subjects experienced the expected mild transient post-treatment effects; the most common were localized edema (55%), tingling or numbness in the treatment area (30%), vacuum acquisition marks (29%), bumps or lumps under the skin (29%) or discomfort or tenderness in the treatment area (26%). Other rarer treatment effects affecting more than the treatment area were noted in 18% of subjects (10/56), 75% of which were rated as mild. These included numbness or tingling in the arms (n=6 events); more extensive swelling in the adjacent area (e.g. arms) (n=4 events); and bruising outside the treatment area (n=2 events). One patient experienced unilateral ulnar neuropathy that was improving but not completely resolved at study exit. The types, rates and severity of the reported AE's are substantially equivalent to those from the predicate device (MD4000-MC with the hyperhidrosis indication, K131162).
The modification to the Indications for Use statement has not altered the fundamental technology of the miraDry System MD4000.

# CONCLUSION
As described in this 510(k) Summary, Miramar Labs Inc. considers the miraDry System MD4000 to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
