CLINICAL DATA Clinical data to support substantial equivalence for the differences in indicated patient populations and technological characteristics includes evidence from two clinical studies. The first clinical study was a single-arm. non-significant risk study that evaluated calibrated TAPS therapy in patients with Parkinson's Disease who also had postural hand tremor. A total of forty patients were enrolled in the study. There were no reports of device-related serious adverse events, and all device-related adverse events were resolved with minimal intervention. Across visits, TAPS therapy improved 0.5±0.5 points on an unvalidated subset of MDS-UPDRS dominant hand tasks listed below: - Rest Tremor Amplitude ● - Postural Tremor ● - Kinetic Tremor ● - Pronation-Supination ● - Finger Tapping ● - Hand Movements ● Also, across visits, TAPS therapy improved the ability to perform some activities of daily living by 0.4±0.5 points based on an unvalidated subset of BF-ADL tasks listed below: - Use a spoon to drink soup . - Hold a cup of tea ● - Pour milk from a bottle or carton ● - Dial a telephone - Pick up your change in a shop - Insert an electric plug into a socket ● - . Unlock your front door with a key - Write a letter ● {12}------------------------------------------------ These results were descriptive in nature, different patients showed improvement in different tasks tested. None of the patients showed improvement in all of the tasks tested and some of the patients showed no improvement in any of the tasks tested. Pre-stimulation to post-stimulation change was evaluated for each of the MDS-UPDRS Part III dominant hand tasks and the Bain and Findley ADL tasks at both Visits 2 and 3. The MDS-UPDRS and BF-ADL scales are assessed at 1-point increments and improvement was calculated for the average scores as well as for each individual task. The responder rate, defined as the percent of subjects that had a ≥ 0.5-point average per-task improvement, was calculated for the average scores as well as for each individual task. The study design included two visits with study clinicians and a 2-week home use period of during which subjects were instructed to complete TAPS therapy sessions twice daily. Assessment performed during study visits were completed while subjects were off medication, home-use sessions completed with subjects on medication per their standard of care.

PD-02 Responder Rates for Subjects with Score ≥ 2 per Task {17}------------------------------------------------ *For averaged scores, a Responder was defined as subjects that had a ≥ 0.5-point average per-task improvement {18}------------------------------------------------ Considering existing data for versions of this device, reviewed and cleared under previous submissions for patients with similar symptoms, this study provides sufficient information to demonstrate that Cala kIQ may be effective to aid in the temporary relief of postural and kinetic hand tremor symptoms that impact some activities of daily living in the treated hand following stimulation in adults with Parkinson's disease. The second study was a prospective, single-center, two-arm, non-significant risk, crossover study demonstrating that Cala kIO provides TAPS therapy with equivalent safety and effectiveness as compared to Cala Trio. A total of 19 subjects completed the study, 6 of which had Parkinson's Disease. There were no reports of device-related serious adverse events, and all were resolved with minimal intervention. Clinician-rated tremor assessments (TETRAS and MDS-UPDRS), and subject-rated assessments (BF- ADLs) results were similar for Cala kIQ and Cala Trio. #### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE IX. Substantial equivalence of the Subject Device, Cala kIQ, to the Predicate Device, Cala Trio, is demonstrated based on the comparison of labeling, technical characteristics, performance, and both clinical and non-clinical testing. The intended use is unchanged and the difference in the indications for use has been supported by clinical data as described above. Performance testing demonstrated that Cala kIQ complies with the same special controls and the same consensus and performance standards as Cala Trio. #### CONCLUSION X. The Subject Device, Cala kIQ, has the same intended use as the Predicate Device, Cala Trio. The differences between the subject and predicate device indications for use do not alter the intended use of the device. Clinical data support the temporary relief of postural and kinetic hand tremor symptoms of some activities of daily living in Parkinson's Disease and demonstrate that Cala kIQ delivers TAPS therapy with equivalent safety and effectiveness as Cala Trio. The subject and predicate device have similar technological characteristics and the differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance testing demonstrates that Cala kIQ is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as Cala Trio. Cala kIQ and Cala Trio are substantially equivalent. Cala Health has provided evidence as described above to demonstrate that any differences in the indications for use and technological characteristics do not impact safety or effectiveness.
