Intended Use/Indication for Use:
{4}------------------------------------------------
The Relivion® transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older. It is a prescription device to be self-used at home.
## Device Description:
The Relivion® is an external non-invasive neurostimulator designed for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The Relivion® headset integrates three pairs of output electrodes which come in contact with the subject's scalp at the forehead and occiput. The electrodes deliver the stimulation pulses produced by the headset's stimulation unit to the subject's scalp. The frontal electrodes stimulate the trigeminal (supraorbital and supratrochlear) nerve branches and the posterior electrodes stimulate the greater occipital nerve branches.
The Relivion® includes single-use replaceable electrode pads that are positioned on-top of the electrodes prior to treatment and are wetted by the user before use, in order to provide proper conductivity between the electrodes and the scalp.
The Relivion® is powered by a rechargeable battery and the headset incorporates an on-board user interface that enables the user to activate/deactivate the device and to adjust the stimulation intensity. Upon treatment activation, the treatment automatically runs and ends after 60 minutes or alternatively, the user can stop the treatment when desired.
The Relivion® can communicate via a low energy Bluetooth link with the Relivion® dedicated mobile application on the user's smartphone. The Relivion® mobile application is optional and it is used to display the device status and provide indications and alerts.
## Technological Characteristics:
The Relivion® treats migraines by stimulating the trigeminal and occipital nerve branches by a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Trigeminal and occipital electrical nerve stimulation induces neuromodulation of these nerve pathways and by that reduces pain associate with migraine and associated symptoms.
The Relivion® includes single-use, replaceable electrode pads that are positioned on-top of the headset electrodes and are wetted by the user before each use. Water releasing covers are located on the outer side of each back occipital electrode and are used to release moisture from the electrode pads to the scalp in order to provide proper electrical conductivity between the electrodes and the scalp.
The Relivion® headset adjusts to various head sizes and contours and can be worn comfortably. The headset includes two flexible arms that penetrate under the hair layers while the headset is worn.
The Relivion® headset incorporates an on-board user interface and can communicate via a low
{5}------------------------------------------------
energy Bluetooth link with the Relivion® dedicated mobile application on the user's smartphone, which displays the device status and provides indications and alerts.

Human Factors Usability Study: The device was also subject to formative and summative Human Factors testing, and results demonstrated that users could complete all essential tasks using the provided labeling with acceptable residual risk.
Performance - Clinical Testing: Two previous versions of Neurolief's device were used in preliminary prospective studies.
The OS-TNS Study was conducted at Meir Medical Center, Israel. The study assessed the safety and efficacy of combined occipital and supraorbital neurostimulation for treatment of migraine. It was approved by the institution's ethics committee on June 5, 2014 and the Israeli Ministry of Health Ethical committee and was concluded in November 2015. This clinical investigation was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP) as described in ISO 14155. Adults suffering from episodic migraine, aged 21-62 years, were enrolled. Subjects were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive active or sham occipital and supraorbital stimulation. The primary endpoint was defined based on relative change (%) in VAS pain score from baseline to end of treatment without using pain medication. 30 patients treated one acute migraine episode with active device (N=15) or sham device (N=15). At the end of treatment there was a significant reduction of the average Pain VAS score in the treatment group vs. an increase in Pain VAS score in the control group (-79.2% vs. +14.9%, respectively; P=0.0002). Pain-free response rates significantly favored the active device at 2-hours (P=0.0031) and at 24-hours (P<0.05) post treatment. Superiority of the active device was also shown for functional disability (P=0.0004) and photophobia (P=0.002). No device-related serious adverse events were recorded.
The SP-301 Study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled investigation conducted to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of a self-administered abortive treatment for migraine headache using combined occipital and supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulation. The study was conducted at the Laniado Medical Center in Israel and approved by the Laniado Helsinki committee on February 8, 2018. The first patient enrollment was February 22, 2018, and the study concluded on November 2018. This clinical investigation was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP) as described in ISO 14155. Fifty-five (55) patients were randomized to either the active or placebo groups. To maintain blinding, measures included concealed allocation, use of an identical sham device and the same treatment protocol in all the study stages: device training, self-practice period and treatment period. Additionally, sham stimulation was set to a level well above the sensory threshold to further enhance subject's blinding. Subjects were instructed to use the device during 1 migraine episode within 14 weeks after a practice run in their home. Additionally, subjects were asked not to take any pain medication prior to treatment and until 2 hours post treatment. Mean pain intensity decreased significantly more in the treatment group than in the sham group at 1-hour (group difference: 41.4%; p=0.0002) and at 2-hours (group difference: 32.8%; p=0.0324) and 24-hours (group difference: 36.2%; p=0.0220). Responders rate
{7}------------------------------------------------
was also statistically significantly higher in the treatment group than in the sham group at 1-hour (66.7% vs. 20%, p=0.0014), 2-hours (66.7% vs. 32%, p= 0.0227) and 24-hours (78.3% vs. 48%, p= 0.0401). No Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) were reported throughout the study period. Safety data collected by the research team was recorded and reported to the sponsor. Safety monitoring, including device related assessment was performed by qualified sponsor personnel in consultation with the study PI. Post hoc review was conducted by an independent medical advisor. There were no complaints of unpleasant stimulation sensation during or within 24 hours after the treatment.
The results of these studies demonstrated that combined occipital and supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulation (OSTNS) is a safe and highly effective treatment for the treatment of migraine and may serve as a safe, fast acting treatment method.
The device was also subject to a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, sham-controlled clinical trial- the RIME study. The device used in the RIME study is the commercial version for which the company is seeking clearance. The study included 131 patients (109 females and 22 males) having migraine attacks with or without aura. Patients were enrolled at 12 sites in the US and Israel. The study was initiated in November 2018 and concluded in August 2020. The US study sites of the investigation complied with 21 CFR parts 50, 56, and 812 and the OUS clinical investigations were conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP) as described in 21 CFR 812.28(a)(1). To maintain blinding, measures included concealed allocation, use of an identical sham device and the same treatment protocol in all the study stages: device training, self-practice period and treatment period. Additionally, sham stimulation was set to a level well above the sensory threshold to further enhance subject's blinding. These measures were proven to be effective as the blinding assessment revealed that the subjects' feeling regarding the treatment received did not influence the study outcome. Baseline demographics were consistent with the migraine population in terms of age, 83% (109/131) of the participants were females. The mean age was 40.3 years gender, etc. (SD=12.7). The mean age of migraine onset was 18.6 (SD=8.54) years and ranged from 4 to 50. 62.6% (82/131) of the subjects had migraine without aura, 37.4% (49/131) had migraine with aura, 26.7% (35/131) of the subjects were using migraine preventive medication at baseline. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the US and Israeli populations.
The primary outcome was the proportion of subjects reporting reduction of migraine headache pain (i.e., pain relief) 2 hours post treatment initiation from severe or moderate to mild or no pain, or from mild to no pain. Pain relief at 2 hours post-treatment was found statistically significantly higher in the active group than in the sham group: 60% of subjects in the active group compared to 37% (p value=0.0180) (mITT) or 36% (p value=0.0135)(PP) in the sham group met the primary endpoint, with similar between-group differences of 23% and 24% (mITT and PP, respectively). All statistical tests for the between-group difference were statistically significant in both populations. Therefore, the study was deemed successful.
{8}------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, the active arm was superior to the sham arm for all 3 secondary endpoints, as follows:
- Pain Freedom rate at 2 hours post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication . (46.00% vs. 11.86% for active and sham arms, respectively, p-value: <0.0001).
- . Improvement in MBS 2-hours post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication (80.56% vs. 60.00% for active and sham arms, respectively, p-value: 0.0466).
- . Reduction in pain level - 1-hour post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication (-0.6 (-28.7%) vs. -0.3 (-14.4%) for active and sham arms, respectively, p-value: 0.0121).
In addition, the active arm was superior to the sham arm in the following additional parameters:
- . Complete MBS Freedom 1- and 2-hours post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication.
- . Pain Freedom at 1-hour post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication.
- . Pain and MBS Relief at 1- and 2-hours post-treatment initiation without use of rescue medication.
- Complete symptoms Free (Pain and MBS)- 1- and 2-hours post-treatment initiation without ● use of rescue medication.
- . Sustained 2-24 hours headache Pain Relief and Pain Freedom without use of rescue medication.
- . Pain Relief and Pain Freedom consistency of response across multiple treated episodes.
{9}------------------------------------------------
With respect to safety, safety monitoring, including device related assessment was performed by qualified sponsor personnel in consultation with the study PI and the medical advisor. In the ITT analysis set, 21 AE's were reported in 10 subjects, 8 in the active arm (incidence: 11.94%, 8/67), and 2 in the sham arm (incidence: 3.13% (2/64). None of the adverse events were serious, 7 AE's were considered moderate (4 in the active arm and 3 in the sham arm), and the other 14 were mild. 16 AE's were considered as at least possibly related to the study device (7 in 5 subjects randomized to active arm; 9 in 2 subjects in the sham arm). All the reported AEs were fully reversible and resolved without intervention. The nature of the observed events in the active group were anticipated and very similar to other nerve stimulators for migraine, including adverse events that are directly related to the neuromodulatory action of the device such as transient scalp numbness sensation, tingling and twitching. The rate and severity of events was as anticipated and similar to other previously cleared devices. An initial device malfunction resulted in exclusion of the first 50 cases from the above analysis. Because the malfunction resulted in failure to deliver stimulation, these patients were not analyzed for efficacy but were analyzed for safety, and the results were consistent with those reported for the ITT population.
Although COVID-19 resulted in interruption of study enrollment and early termination, FDA guidance was followed in the completion and analysis of study results in light of the pandemic and met the study hypothesis, as presented above, supporting substantial equivalence.

As described in the comparison table above, the subject Relivion® and the predicate Cefaly® Acute (K171446) share the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and same principles of operation. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not alter the overall therapeutic effect of the device. Any differences between the Relivion® and its predicate (K171446) were carefully evaluated through performance testing. The Relivion® device underwent performance testing, including bench testing, clinical testing, software validation testing, electrical safety according to IEC 60601-1, electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2 and other tests. These performance tests confirmed that the Relivion® complies with the same special controls and the same consensus and performance standards, on which FDA based its clearance of the Cefaly® Acute (K171446), and demonstrated that the differences in the technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not adversely impact performance and that the subject Relivion® is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (K171446).
#### Conclusions:
Therefore, based on the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and same principles of operation, the Relivion® device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
