The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern since inadvertent software errors could result in skin burns to the user. {7}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 ## Human Factors Validation Testing A human Factors Validation Testing was done to evaluate the HFE/ UE (Human Engineering/ Usability Engineering) concerns, including Label Factors Comprehension/ Self-Selection and Usability/ User Interface studies (one arm, simulated use and summative evaluation). In both studies, participants had received the labeling materials of the device, and given enough time to read it according to their own wish. Labeling Comprehension/ Self Selection Study goal was to demonstrate that the typical OTC users can understand the device labeling (mainly the outer package) and correctly choose the sensiFirm device for themselves for its intended use. The study included three main questions regarding the intended use of the device, treatment areas and self-selection (the latter was acording to the contraindications), with possible answers: "Yes"or "No", followed by explenation and further validation by the moderator. A total of 47 participants, 5 men and 42 women, from age 24 to 71 years old (average 42 ± 12 years old) were enrolled to this study. Participants had different educational levels, as obtained by REALM testing with 26% below 9th grade level. All participants had met the inclusion/ exclusion criteria and signed ICF. 100% of the participants had made the correct descion regarding the intended use of the device, 98% had correctly identified the treatment areas and 96% had reported correct answers, as further validated by the moderator (K=0.91). Therfore, the success criteria of the primary enpoint was met. Usability/ User Interface Study goal was to demonstrate the intended OTC user can correctly use the device, based on the labeling material for the intended aesthetic puspose. The study included four use scenarios including 21 relevant tasks: "getting to know the device and device set up" (7 tasks). "self-preparation" (4 tasks), "device usage" (7 tasks) and "after usage" (3 tasks). None of the participants required assistance from the moderator while performing the tasks. {8}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 Altogether, all tasks were completed by 100% of the participants, and the success rate (pass criteria) was 100% per each task scenario, demonstrating rhe sucess criteria of the primary enpoint was met. Furthermore, 62% of the participants (16 out of 26) had additionally commented that the device instructions are clear and that the use is easy and comfortable. Participants were also asked regarding their user experience and satisfaction after this study, and high satisfaction was obtained, with an average result of 1.95±0.51, using a 1-5 discrete scale (when 1 represent best and 5 worst). The human Factors Validation Testing , including both Labeling Comprehension/ Self-Selection Study and Usability/ User Interface Study, demonstrates that the potential OTC users can understand the package labeling, correctly choose the device and use it for the indicated aesthetic use, based solely on reading the lableling materials. #### 7. PERFORMANCE TESTING - ANIMAL No animal testing was performed with the subject device #### 8. CLEANING, STERILIZATION, SHELF LIFE AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY The sensiFirm is a non-sterile, reusable device, intended for a single user. The device cleaning instructions are based on the cleaning instructions of the predicate devices due to the fact that both devices are made from the same materials are used similarly. The shelf-life expectancy of the device is 5 years, similarly to the predicate device. The biocompatibility evaluation for the sensiFirm device was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International {9}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing,"" May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. EL Global has categorized its sensiFirm device as: "Surface device, Skin Contact for limited contact duration", with contact duration of less than 24h ("A", up to 24 hours). Therefore, the battery of testing included the following tests: cytotoxicity, sensitization and irritation tests. The body contact materials are biocompatible per: - . ISO 10993-5:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity. - ISO 10993-10:2010, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: . Tests for irritation and skin sensitization. #### 9. CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA The sensiFirm safety and efficacy for non-invasive temporary reduction in cellulite appearance, was examined in an open label, prospective, interventional single arm clinical study, in a home use environment. 33 women, age ranging between 29 to 63 years (average age 46 ± 9 years), fulfilling the inclusion criteria, were enrolled to the study by the Principle Investigator (PI). Participants treated one to three treatment areas, according to participants own preference and the PI's approval: 27 participants chose to treat the cellulite (buttocks, including one participant treated the inner thigh area), and 8 and 4 chose to treat the abdomen and arms regions, respectively resulting in total of 39 areas that had completed 8 sensiFirm treatments according to the instructions for use and appeared to the 3 months after treatments last follow-up (FU2). {10}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 The cellulite appearance was assessed using the Modified Neurenberg-Muller Cellulite Grading Scale and improvement was defined as decrease of at least one score in the Scale. This assessment was conducted by 3 evaluators (3 board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons) at the end of the active treatment regimen (T8), as well as one and three months after the last treatment (follow-up regimen FU1 and FU2, respectively). A participant was considered a success if at least 2 out of the 3 independent evaluators agreed that the participant had shown at least one degree of improvement in the cellulite appearance (one score reduction in the Modified Neurenberg-Muller Cellulite Grading Scale) when comparing the score obtained at each time point (T8, FU1 and FU2) to the baseline score ("subject as her own control"). In addition, a concurrent control was used, and only one side of the body (e.g. left buttocks) was treated to allow comparison to the other untreated side (e.g. right buttocks). No adverse events occurred during and after the study, meaning that the success criteria for primary safety endpoint have been met. As for effectiveness, after the completion of the active treatment regimen, 93%, 96% and 100% of the study participants (according to agreement between at least 2 out of the 3 evaluators) have shown an improvement in overall cellulite appearance of the treated side at T8, FU1 and FU2, respectively. This improvement was manifested in an average reduction of -1.28. -1.59 and -1.78 in the Modified Neurenberg-Muller Cellulite Grading Scale, at T8, FU1 and FU2, respectively. In contrast, the untreated (control) side remained unchanged during the course of the study. Effectiveness was also assessed according to the participants' satisfaction as recorded by the satisfaction questionnaire which was filled by all the participants at each follow-up visit. 95% of the participants (average value for after the last active treatment and follow-ups) were generally satisfied with the device. 94% {11}------------------------------------------------ | EL Global Trade Ltd | Tzoran 8th St, P.O.Box 8242, Netanya 4250608, Israel<br>Tel: +972-9-7889069 | Fax: +972-9-7734831 | |---------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------| |---------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------| RD-12062 A0 had reported on improvement in their skin's appearance, 89% had reported on improvement in cellulite appearance and skin tightening and 90% had reported on skin texture improvement. In addition, the participants found the device easy to use, with 82% stating using sensiFirm was clear and simple, 93% and 89% stating that reaching the treatment areas and holding the device was comfortable, respectively, and 96% replied that a regime of total of 8 treatments was reasonable (all percentages refer to T8 visit). All participants found the device to be painless or discomfort less. At the last follow-up (FU2), participants were also asked whether they would like to continue using the device for the other untreated side and whether they would like to treat additional anatomical areas. All participants answered YES to these two questions. To summarize, these results demonstrate that the device is safe and effective for the intended use under anticipated conditions of use (home environment). #### 10.

Substantial Equivalence of EL Global's sensiFirm with Predicate Device. {12}------------------------------------------------ # sensiFirm – K170637/ S001 ## RD-12062 A0 {13}------------------------------------------------ # sensiFirm – K170637/ S001 ### RD-12062 A0 {14}------------------------------------------------ # sensiFirm – K170637/ S001 RD-12062 A0 {15}------------------------------------------------ sensiFirm — K170637/ S001 RD-12062 A0 ## Note No. 1. The massage Type There are several methods commonly used for massaging, including: manual massage, pressuring, vibrations, rollers assisted, vacuum assisted etc. Vibration assisted massage offers safe and localized treatment with similar therapeutic effect. Such devices are classified as class I devices and are 510(K) exempt (product code IRO or ISA). ## Note No. 2 - The Energy Delivered and Electrodes Architecture Treatment with all of the devices (sensiFirm and both predicate devices) utilizes the same technology of Bi-polar RF, on the same anatomical sites and for the same purpose. Generally, safety and efficacy of the device for the intended use is affected by the method of RF delivery, power energy output and the configuration/ area of the treatment electrodes. All these factors were taken into account when designing the treatment protocol, which has been validated in a clinical trial. ## Note No. 3 - The Treatment Regimen The treatment regimen of the sensiFirm was especially planned to achieve its intended use in a safe and effective manner. Both sensiFirm and its predicate devices are designed for the exact same anatomical sites, with similar treatment {16}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 protocols. Though the treatment protocols are different, the total exposure to the sensiFirm device throughout the entire treatment regimen is identical to predicate device #2 and similar to predicate device #1. Therefore, no issues in means of safety for the user are raised. Furthermore, the efficacy was validated in a clinical trial. ## Note No. 4 - Applicability to Home Use Environment While the sensiFirm was designed for OTC home use, both predicate devices are prescription devices, to be used in a clinic by a professional operator. Auxiliary device (Newa by EndyMed Medical Ltd.. cleared under DEN 150005) supports the OTC home use environment. Several device's features, all related to its design and usability elements, were specially tailored for the home use environment, which was tested in a Human Factors Test study and further validated in a clinical trial. #### 11. CONCLUSIONS Due to these identical clauses and high similarities, the sensiFirm device is at least as safe and as effective as the predicate device. The differences between the sensiFirm device and the predicate device do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues or questions, as detailed above. The performance specifications of the sensiFirm (i.e., RF frequency and RF power) are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices. The safety features and compliance with safety standards of both are similar. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns and are demonstrated to be substantially equivalent through relevant performance tests. Furthermore, the sensiFirm device has qualified with varied performance tests, including software validation testing, electrical and mechanical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1, electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2, compatibility as medical electrical equipment for home healthcare environment according to {17}------------------------------------------------ RD-12062 A0 60601-1-11, and high frequency of surgical equipment according to IEC 60601-2- 2. The performance tests demonstrated that the device specifications meet the system requirements and do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns. Based on the performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the sensiFirm device is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices. . . . . . . . . . . .
