Technological Characteristics Predicate Devices The technological characteristics of the Novasys Transurethral RF System are equivalent to those of the cited predicate electrosurgical devices and are similar to other legally Section 16 2 15 Page 3 of 6 મમ {6}------------------------------------------------ marketed RF devices distributed by other manufacturers. The predicate devices are equivalent in terms of design, materials, principle of operation, and product specifications. Any differences between the Novasys Transurethral RF System and the predicate devices do not raise new issues regarding safety or effectiveness. #### 2. Indication for Use Statement Predicate Device Substantial equivalence for the Novasys Transurethral RF System Indication for Use Statement is supported by the cited predicate device with a Indication for Use Statement that is identical in terms of medical disorder (stress urinary incontinence), pathophysiological etiology (hypermobility), and patient population (female). The Indication for Use Statement for the Novasys Transurethral RF System is supported by the results of the clinical trials. ### SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL AND PRE-CLINICAL DATA Results of bench testing and pre-clinical (animal) studies demonstrated that the Novasys Transurethral RF System met its performance specifications, was technologically substantially equivalent to its predicate devices, and that no new issues of safety or effectiveness were introduced. ## SUMMARY OF CLINICAL DATA Results of clinical trials (both the Pilot Clinical Trial and the subsequent U.S. Multicenter Clinical Trial) demonstrated that the Novasys Transurethral RF System functioned as clinically designed and intended. Sufficient data has been gathered from clinical investigations to determine that the Novasys Transurethral RF System performs as clinically designed and intended, and that no new issues of safety or effectiveness were introduced. # SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS The guidance document titled, "Premarket Notification 510(k): Regulatory Requirements for Medical Devices, Substantial Equivalence Decision-making Process (Detailed)," Section 16 Page 4 of 6 206 ્યમંત્ {7}------------------------------------------------ revised August 1992 by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, was used to determine the substantial equivalence for the Novasys Transurethral RF System. #### CONCLUSION 16.2 Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the most common form of urinary incontinence disorder, affects an estimated 17 million Americans, adversely impacting their quality of life. Numerous and varied therapeutic approaches are currently offered to treat this lifealtering disorder, ranging from non-invasive pelvic floor muscle exercises and minimally-invasive pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation to invasive surgical bladder suspensions and slings. The overwhelming majority of women suffering from SUI do not select a definitive treatment from the available options. Research has demonstrated that the majority of these women are seeking a treatment which is safe, rapid, non-surgical, associated with minimal recovery requirements, and does not require frequent repeat administration. The treatment effectiveness expected by female SUI patients in return for these treatment characteristics is improvement in their quality of life. The least invasive currently available SUI treatment options suffer from issues relating to treatment efficacy, durability, chronicity, and patient compliance. The more invasive SUI treatment modalities are plagued by concerns regarding treatment safety and burdensome recovery requirements. This submission presents evidence that the Novasys Transurethral RF System fulfills the wishes and expectations of women suffering from this disorder. As desired by patients, the Novasys Transurethral RF System treatment has demonstrated safety, with no Serious Adverse Events and only limited Anticipated Adverse Events occurring during the 12 month U.S. Clinical Trial. The non-surgical, outpatient procedure is rapidly performed without the need for general anesthesia and is associated with minimal recovery requirements. Patients have demonstrated improvement in quality of life, reduction in Section 16 Page 5 of 6 2 17 મ્મૃ 6 {8}------------------------------------------------ number of daily incontinence episodes, reduction in daily incontinence pad use, and improvement in Valsalva leak point pressure 12 months following treatment. Along with the demonstration of Novasys Transurethral RF System safety and effectiveness, this submission has presented evidence of substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices for both technological characteristics and Indication for Use Statement.
