Bluetooth, indicating the mobile IntelliHab Mobile App and the mobile device are ready to deliver stimulation treatment. In the OFF position, the LED light on the IntelliHab controller will no longer illuminate. The controller will be off and will not deliver treatment.
4.2 Range of Motion Sensor Pod The IntelliHab range of motion sensor is used to evaluate the full movement potential of the knee joint, including its range of flexion and extension. The sensor pod must not be removed from the garment.
Replace electrodes every 20 to 30 sessions or sooner, if needed. When utilizing stimulation at intensity levels of 60 or higher, replace electrodes more frequently to minimize risk of skin irritation or burn. Electrodes are reusable if they are clean, without any sign of visible damage, dryness, and still tacky.

CLINICAL STUDY SUMMARY Pivotal USA Trial The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CyMedica neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy, a home- based electrotherapy device as a non-surgical therapy for knee pain relief and joint functional recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Page 46
The pain assessments included Pain Visual Analog Score (VAS) for a subject’s nominated activity, VAS for a general knee pain, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) JR pain subscale. Secondary objectives- Secondary objectives were to gain knowledge and evidence of knee functional outcome improvement in subjects using the CyMedica NMES therapy as compared to those assigned sham treatment.
Page 47
Analysis of data Descriptive statistics was conducted for the primary and secondary • endpoints at baseline and weeks 4 through 12. Chi-Square test was utilized to compare the number and proportion of • subjects who achieved 30% or greater improvement from baseline in knee pain (treatment responders) as measured by VAS Nominated Activity with an associated 95% confidence interval.
Page 48
In the PPTC treatment NMES group, clinically meaningful improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and function and statistically significant difference against the sham group’s results were demonstrated in the Treatment NMES group at week 12 consistently, across multiple endpoints, see Tables A and B below. In addition, the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) survey results confirmed an overall patients’...
