More recently, in September 2019, the FDA issued revised final guidance describing an optional “safety and performance based” premarket review pathway for manufacturers of “certain, well-understood device types” to demonstrate substantial equivalence under the 510(k) clearance pathway by showing that such device meets objective safety and performance criteria established by the FDA, thereby obviating the need for manufacturers to compare the safety and performance of their medical devices to specific predicate devices in the clearance process.

The EAD is no longer being manufactured, sold or distributed but reserved only for research purposes. 4 Pediatrics Industry Overview Pediatric providers, as a whole, had expressed concern about the lack of attention given to children with functional abdominal pain disorders (including IBS) and the limited treatment options available for a population that suffers from significant disabilities.

An animal model of IBS demonstrated that the firing of neurons in the amygdala could be reduced by more than 50% in just 15 minutes of stimulation with the IB-Stim technology.

The IB-Stim is intended to be used for 120 hours per week, using one (1) device per week, for four (4) consecutive weeks, through application to branches of Cranial Nerves V, VII, IX and X, and the occipital nerves identified by transillumination, as an aid in the reduction of pain when combined with other therapies for IBS (DEN180057, 2019).

A recent human study in adults with pain related to fibromyalgia suggested that the IB-Stim technology exerts its effect by modulating emotional and executive control centers related to pain processing, see Feasibility of Auricular Field Stimulation in Fibromyalgia: Evaluation by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Randomized Trial , Woodbury et.al. , Pain Med. 2021;22:715-726.

As a PENFS device, it is non-implantable and provides field stimulation to cranial nerves V, VII, IX and X in the ear to access the CNS. It stimulates remotely from the source of pain to modulate central pain regions, such as the limbic system, and relieve functional abdominal pain associated with IBS.

Clinical Background Constipation is one of the most encountered gastrointestinal complaints in clinical practice. A recent systematic review reported that the prevalence of chronic constipation (CC) in North America is between 10-15%. This condition causes significantly reduced quality of life, reduced work-related productivity and billions of dollars in health expenditures.
A recent systematic review reported that the prevalence of chronic constipation (CC) in North America is between 10-15%. This condition causes significantly reduced quality of life, reduced work-related productivity and billions of dollars in health expenditures. Clinical practice guidelines recommend empiric treatment of chronically constipated patients with fiber supplements or laxative therapies.
RED finds people that are willing to try physical therapy but don’t need it. 5. Fits clinical workflow. There is an urgent need to better identify patients with pelvic floor abnormalities and/or rectal hypersensitivity. Making the right diagnosis can impact care and ensure that patients are properly assessed and treated.

The current standard is to refer patients to specialized motility centers for evaluation, resulting in sub-optimal number of patients with constipation undergoing anal-rectal testing.
Current testing methods typically require elaborate volumetric testing equipment to assess sensation and expulsion, which makes them not practical in the clinical setting.

Compliance with treatment so far has been outstanding with the four weeks of therapy required to sustain long-term benefits. Compliance has been an issue with non-pharmacological treatment for children, particularly with some of the psychological approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy or guided imagery, which sometimes requires 8-12 weeks of treatment.

Psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or guided imagery have been shown to be some of the most effective treatments for these conditions, however, these are limited by access to trained therapists. It also includes devices that could theoretically be used, but do not have supporting data or FDA clearance for functional bowel disorders or IBS.
Psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or guided imagery have been shown to be some of the most effective treatments for these conditions, however, these are limited by access to trained therapists. As a result, the Company is addressing this challenge by providing access to guided-imagery audio with IB-Stim at a low associated cost to the patient.
The goal is for every Gastroenterologist practice to be able to safely and confidently perform meaningful anorectal testing without it impacting clinical workflow or requiring a large capital expense. Eight (8) million patients each year present with constipation. Of those eight million patients, 700,000 patients present to the Emergency Room.
RED can be implemented in a GI practice with minimal impact to clinical workflow and does not require a large capital expense. Eight (8) million patients each year present with constipation. Of those eight million patients, 700,000 patients present to the Emergency Room. Clinical Background Constipation is one of the most encountered gastrointestinal complaints in clinical practice.
The study findings demonstrate that RED impacts clinical decision making by identifying patients who would benefit from physical therapy or who would require optimization of laxatives. It is also sufficient to qualitatively assess for rectal hypersensitivity which was evident in almost one-third of patients with chronic constipation failing a trial of fiber/laxatives.
Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2023;21:1082-1090.It is also sufficient to qualitatively assess for rectal hypersensitivity which was evident in almost one-third of patients with chronic constipation failing a trial of fiber/laxatives. It is critical to assess rectal sensation and balloon expulsion in patients with constipation and/or fecal incontinence.
IB-Stim stays on for a total of five-days to allow delivery of gentle electrical pulses to nerves below the skin that access the central nervous system. A study in adolescents showed greater improvement in functional abdominal pain and global symptom improvement with every week of treatment (up to four weeks).
Once the provider is trained, the device can be placed in the outpatient clinic and can be removed by the provider in the clinic or by the patient at home. IB-Stim stays on for a total of five-days to allow delivery of gentle electrical pulses to nerves below the skin that access the central nervous system.

The primary endpoint will be to measure decreases in the frequency and severity of cyclic vomiting episodes compared to a placebo device. The study will include a minimum of 120 patients and the site is yet to be finalized. Each step in the FDA review process differs in duration and cannot be predicted with accuracy.

Additional clinical trials of PENFS in multiple pediatric and adult conditions are underway, focused on unmet healthcare needs in children and adults. See “ Our Pipeline ” for more information.
At the end of the four-week study, 95% of adolescents stated they would recommend the treatment to family or friends. Safety of percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation has also been reported in a separate study of over 1200 adult patients with no serious adverse events and minimal to no side-effects.

We have concentrated our marketing focus on the 260 children’s hospitals within the United States.
Many children’s hospitals and pediatric providers across the country are currently treating children with IB-Stim due to the safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes with this non-drug alternative. We have concentrated our marketing focus on the 260 children’s hospitals within the United States.
We plan to extensively ramp-up our marketing efforts to patients and physicians as we gain additional indications. Patients/Customers Our current patient base is children 8-21 years of age and suffering from functional abdominal pain. Our customers are primarily children’s hospitals who serve these children.
Direct-to-patient marketing efforts will be considered in the future. Patients/Customers IB-Stim is indicated for patients 8 years and older suffering from functional abdominal pain, functional dyspepsia (FD),and associated FD nausea symptoms. Customers are currently primarily children’s hospitals who serve these patients, but is currently expanding to adult gastroenterologists and adult pain physicians.
