Intended Use
The leva Pelvic Health System is intended for: 1) Strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles; 2) Rehabilitation and training of weak pelvic floor muscles for the treatment of stress, mixed and mild to moderate urgency urinary incontinence (including overactive bladder) in women; 3) Rehabilitation and training of weak pelvic floor muscles for the first-line treatment of chronic fecal incontinence (>3-month uncontrolled passage of feces) in women. This device interacts with the user via smart phone technology.
Device Story
Intravaginal device for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) rehabilitation and training. Device uses internal accelerometers to detect relative position changes during PFM contraction (lift and squeeze). Data transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a dedicated smartphone application. App provides real-time biofeedback to the user, allowing monitoring of training progress. Used by patients at home; prescription-only. Output consists of graphical and numeric biofeedback displayed on the mobile app. Helps patients perform correct PFM exercises, potentially improving symptoms of urinary and fecal incontinence.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes a 10-week single-arm study (REN-17, n=31) and a subset analysis of a randomized controlled trial (REN-19, n=92). REN-17 showed improvement in St. Mark's Score (14.6 to 11.6, p=0.0047). REN-19 subset analysis compared leva-02 to Kegel exercises; leva-02 arm showed statistically superior improvement in CRADI-8 and CRAIQ-7 scores at 6 months compared to control. No serious device-related adverse events reported.
Technological Characteristics
Intravaginal probe made of thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene. Uses accelerometers for sensing relative position. Powered by non-rechargeable 1.5V silver oxide coin cell. Connectivity via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Non-sterile, reusable, single-patient device. Software provides biofeedback via mobile app.
Indications for Use
Indicated for women with weak pelvic floor muscles requiring strengthening or rehabilitation for stress, mixed, or mild-to-moderate urgency urinary incontinence (including overactive bladder), and for first-line treatment of chronic fecal incontinence (>3 months).
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.

#### Summary of Nonclinical Testing and Risk Analysis 7.
Nonclinical testing of the leva Pelvic Health System was not required for the indications for use statement. Minor modifications made to the device since last clearance were summarized in this submission and included reference to design verification and/or design validation activities and risk analyses, where applicable.
#### A. Hardware Changes
There were no hardware changes made to the leva Pelvic Health System to support the expanded indications for use statement.
#### B. Software Changes
No software changes were made to the medical device functionality of the leva Pelvic Health System. More specifically, there were no changes to the mobile application which modified how the user interacts with the device. All software modifications were reviewed and evaluated following the software life cycle processes for medical device software as defined by IEC 62304. The only changes to the software of the leva Pelvic Health System relate to non-medical device functionality (aka "other functionality") under FDA's guidance on "Multiple Function Device Products: Policy and Considerations" (2020). Software modifications related to "other functionality" included the addition of educational information regarding fecal incontinence to the mobile application. Regression analyses were conducted to determine the scope of software testing to be reexecuted related to these modifications and the test results supported the implementation of updated software version.
#### 8. Clinical Testing
The mechanism of action of the leva Pelvic Health System has been the subject of multiple published, peerreviewed clinical trials studying its efficacy, including the two studies outlined below. The data from the referenced clinical studies supports the leva Pelvic Health System can serve as a safe and to provide feedback when performing pelvic floor training in the treatment of fecal incontinence. In all studies, the leva device was used vaginally to perform the same type of pelvic floor muscle training.
### A. REN-17 Study (NCT04027335):
The REN-17 Study was a ten (10) week, single-arm, open-label study involving thirty-one (31) participants who engaged in pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) using the leva Pelvic Health System (leva-01). Subject selection was based on meeting pre-defined screening criteria, including fecal incontinence ("FI") defined as any uncontrolled loss of liquid or solid fecal material that occurs at least monthly over the last three (3) months and is bothersome enough to desire treatment.

### B. REN-19 (NCT04508153):
The REN-19 Study was an eight (8) week, randomized controlled trial ("RCT") that included two hundred ninety-nine (299) women with stress and stress-dominant mixed urinary incontinence ("UI") that included completion of pelvic floor muscle training ("PFMT") for all participants (control and treatment groups) and evaluated the participants as follows:
- o Control Group: Performed PFMT after receiving a standardized written and verbal instructions but without the aid of any device, effectively performing what are commonly called Kegel exercises.
- Treatment Group: Performed PFMT using the leva Pelvic Health System (leva-02). O
While the primary endpoints of the Ren-19 RCT involved PFMT for the treatment of stressdominant mixed UI, the trial also included several secondary endpoints including the Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory, Short Form (the "CRADI-8"). The CRADI-8 is a validated patient-reported symptom scale, validated, in part, based on the outcomes of bowel diaries.
Renovia completed a subset analysis of participants from the Ren-19 RCT who indicated they had fecal incontinence ("FI") symptoms. Participants included in the subset analysis met all of the inclusion criteria for the larger study and, in addition, indicated they "usually lose stool beyond their control" for well-formed or loose stool, with a bother of at least "somewhat" in their responses to the CRADI-8. Based on the same modified intent to treat plan executed for the larger study, a subset of 92 participants was identified as meeting this additional inclusion criteria.
The purpose of the subset analysis was to evaluate symptom improvement of the 92 participants with Fl over the study period within their assigned treatment group and to compare the results between the 48 participants in the control group (at-home PFMT without leva-02) and the 44 participants in the intervention group (at-home PFMT with leva-02). By focusing on participants with FI, it is possible to better assess the impact of the control treatment vs. the intervention treatment on FI symptoms.

# Safety:
There were no treatment-related severe adverse events in either arm of the Ren-19 Study. Looking at only those 92 participants within the Fl subset analysis, there were two (2) urinary tract infections in the control (Kegel) group, neither of which were deemed to be intervention related, and none in the intervention (leva-02) group. There was one (1) adverse event, vaginal spotting, in one subject which was reported as "possibly" intervention related occurring in the intervention (leva-02) arm. This resolved before the end of the study and the participant resumed use of the device without complication through the study endpoint at 8 weeks.
## Endpoints:
The Ren-19 subset analysis compared participants' overall CRADI-8 scores and the two individual questions within the CRADI-8 specifically addressing Fl, and participants' condition-specific quality of life assessment using the Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire Short Form (the "CRAIQ-7") – each at baseline, 8-weeks, and 6-months.
The results of the FI subset analysis demonstrate that FI symptom improvement of those in the leva-02 arm was statistically superior to that of participants in the Kegel arm, as summarized in the Results table below.
### CRADI-8 Results:
On the CRADI-8, both the Kegel arm and the leva-02 arm demonstrated statistically significant improvement that met the minimum clinical important difference ("MCID") (-4.68) for the CRADI-8 at 8 weeks. Jelovsek, Chen et. al. found in their 2014 publication, Minimum Important Differences for Scales Assessing Symptom Severity and Quality of Life in Patients with Fecal Incontinence (available at doi: 10.1097/SPV.00000000000000078), that the MCID for the CRADI-8 is a reduction of 4.68.
While the improvement in the leva-02 arm was greater, there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups at 8 weeks (P=.54). However, the CRADI-8 symptom improvement of the leva-02 group was statistically significantly greater at 6 months. This difference at 6 months was driven by the fact that the CRADI-8 results of participants in the Kegel arm did not continue to improve between 8 weeks and 6 months. In the leva-02 arm, however, the CRADI-8 results continued to improve between 8 weeks and 6 months.
This result of stronger continued improvement in Fl symptoms through 6 months within the leva-02 arm is also evident in the results of the questions 3 and 4 of CRADI-8, which are the two questions within the survey that specifically address loss of stool.2 As shown in Table 4 below, the symptom improvement specific to the control of loose stool was statistically superior within the leva-02 arm at 6 months.
## CRAIQ-7 Results:
In the CRAIQ-7 assessing participants' condition-specific quality of life, both the Kegel arm and the leva-02 arm demonstrated statistically significant improvement at 8 weeks. However, only participants in the leva-02 arm reported results that met the MCID (-8.01) for the CRAIQ-7 at 8 weeks (see Jelovsek, Chen et. dl. for MCID on CRAIQ-7).
While the CRAIQ-7 improvement in the leva-02 arm was greater, there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups at 8 weeks (P=.39). However, the CRAIQ-7 improvement of the leva-02 group demonstrated improvement that was statistically significantly greater at 6 months (p=0.02). This difference at 6 months was driven by the fact that the CRAIQ-7 results of participants in the Kegel arm did not continue
