### Summary of Technological Characteristics

The subject of this 510(k) submission is the expansion of indications for use for the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator to include non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen. There are no physical changes to the device since its clearance in K210877 which includes both bipolar radiofrequency (RF) / Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) treatment modes. There have been minor software changes to allow the delivery of a sequential RF/EMS for non-invasive lipolysis treatment. Importantly, the parameters of the

{6}------------------------------------------------

delivered RF or EMS pulse are unchanged, the only change is that the treatments are automatically delivered sequentially.

With respect to the proposed additional indication (non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen; reduction in circumference of the abdomen), the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device BTL-899ST (K202199) by BTL and the additional predicate device, SlimShape System (K163415) by Syneron Medical. BTL-899ST is selected as primary predicate, as it similarly supplies RF/EMS to achieve noninvasive lipolysis. SlimShape (K163415) is selected as an additional predicate as its RF treatment parameters closely resemble those used by the subject device. The system is also physically identical to the reference device, Evolve System with T3 Applicator cleared in K210877 (aside from minor software changes). A substantial equivalence chart comparing the similarities and differences between the Transform System and its predicate devices is provided below. None of the minor differences in technological features from the predicates raise any new safety or effectiveness questions, and clinical data confirms that these differences do not adversely impact safety or effectiveness.

### Performance Data

Updated software documentation was supplied to support the minimal changes to software.

A prospective, multi-site, single arm clinical study of 44 subjects was completed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Evolve System with Transform Applicators in circumference reduction. - Treatments of sequential bi-polar RF energy and EMS were performed in 3 sessions, two weeks apart from each other. Patients were evaluated at baseline (pre-treatment) and at follow-up visits at 1 and 3 months post-treatment.

Three distinct measurements were used to evaluate fat reduction: circumference measurement by measurement tape (primary endpoint), fat thickness caliper measurement, and fat layer ultrasound measurement. Each of these measures independently demonstrated reduction in fat, and findings were consistent and strongly correlated with each other.

Before and after 3 months photographs were assessed by three blinded evaluators. The success criteria for the percentage of subjects were met, with the correct identification rate exceeding 70%. Subjects rated comfort during treatment using the Therapy Comfort Questionnaire immediately after each of their three treatments. The average comfort scores for each timepoint were rated as between comfortable and indifferent during treatment. Comfort scores statistically significantly improved when comparing the initial and later treatments, suggesting that subjects either acclimated to the treatment over time or that subsequent treatments are less uncomfortable. The majority of subjects were satisfied with the results.

No serious adverse events were observed.

Overall, the findings of this study provide strong evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the system.

{7}------------------------------------------------

## Conclusions

The Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. The Evolve System with the Transform Applicator has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Clinical data demonstrate that the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is as safe and effective as the predicates. Thus, the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is substantially equivalent.
