A one-way fit Stimulator connector is attached to the proximal end of the Lead Wire. The distal end of the Lead Wire is split into individual wires. One wire is attached to an adhesivebacked Surface Electrode; the other is attached to the Needle Electrode Clip. »» Needle Electrodes: two 34 Ga. solid stainless steel Needle Electrodes, each contained within a plastic guide tube with stop plug. Each Needle Electrode is supplied sterile (Ethylene Oxide) in an individual peel-open package (Manufacturer: Helio Medical Supplies, California, USA). »» Alcohol Pad: a prepackaged alcohol pad to clean the Needle Electrode insertion site.
11
PROCEDURE This therapy, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), involves placing the Needle Electrode into the lower, inner aspect of either leg slightly cephalad to the medial malleolus. A Surface Electrode is placed over the medial aspect of the calcaneous on the same leg. The Lead Wire is first connected to the Stimulator, and then the Needle Electrode Clip is connected to the Needle Electrode. The Stimulator produces an adjustable electrical pulse that travels to the sacral nerve plexus via the tibial nerve. Among other functions, the sacral nerve plexus regulates bladder and pelvic floor function. The patient is typically treated once per week for 30 minutes for a period of 12 weeks. No decision regarding treatment effectiveness should be made until the patient completes the 12 treatments. For patients responding to treatment, the time between treatment sessions may be slowly increased after the initial 12 treatments, with the patient closely monitored for the return of symptoms. If symptoms reappear or increase in severity, the patient’s treatment schedule should revert to the last previously effective treatment schedule.
TREATMENT PROTOCOL FOR EACH TREATMENT SESSION 1. Check Battery Level »» Before beginning any treatment session, it is advisable to check the battery level. To check the battery level, turn on the Stimulator by pressing and holding the Power Button for approximately 2 seconds. An audible tone will sound and icons will appear on the screen. Battery replacement is recommended when there is only one line remaining in the Battery Level icon. To conserve battery power, the Stimulator may be turned off during patient preparation. Note: The system is designed to prohibit the start of Test mode if there is insufficient battery life remaining to complete the treatment. 12
2. Insert the Needle Electrode »» Locate the insertion site for the Needle Electrode by identifying the location on the lower inner aspect of either leg that is approximately three fingerbreadths (5 cm or 2”) cephalad to the medial malleolus and approximately one fingerbreadth (2 cm or ¾”) posterior to the tibia. »» To prepare the Needle Electrode insertion site, open the Lead Set packaging. Remove and open the Alcohol Pad. Use the Alcohol Pad to clean the skin area surrounding the identified insertion site. »» Place the patient in a comfortable position, supine or sitting, for easy access to the insertion site; for example, the patient may sit with the soles of the feet together and knees abducted and flexed. Open the sterile Needle Electrode package and remove the Needle Electrode/guide tube assembly. »» Place the Needle Electrode/guide tube assembly over the identified and cleaned insertion site in a position that creates a 60-degree angle between the shaft of the Needle Electrode and the skin with the needle tip pointed cephalad. Remove the stop plug in the guide tube to release the Needle Electrode. »» Gently tap the Needle Electrode head to pierce the skin. Once the Needle Electrode has penetrated the skin, remove the guide tube and advance the Needle Electrode using a rotating motion to facilitate entry. Note: it is important to maintain a 60-degree angle with the Needle Electrode while advancing it in a path with the needle tip pointed cephalad. When appropriately inserted, approximately 2 cm (¾”) of the Needle Electode will be inserted in the leg. 13
3. Connect Lead Wire to the Stimulator »» Plug the one-way fit connector of the Lead Wire into the Stimulator’s connection site. Verify the narrow, slotted end of the blue lead wire connector is inserted all the way into the stimulator.
4. Attach the Surface Electrode »» Remove the adhesive backing from the Surface Electrode. »» Place the Surface Electrode near the medial aspect of the calcaneus on the same leg as the Needle Electrode insertion. 5. Attach Needle Electrode Clip »» Depress the plunger on the Needle Electrode Clip to expose the connection hook at the tip. Loop the connection hook around the Needle Electrode and release.
6. Determine Current Setting for Therapy »» Turn on the Stimulator by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 2 seconds. An audible tone will sound and symbols will appear on the screen. Note: If the Lead Wire Status icon is blinking, ensure that the Lead Wire connector is secure in the Stimulator’s connection site. »» Enter Test mode by pressing and holding the Test button for approximately 2 seconds. The default setting for Test mode is level 0 (0mA current). Note: If the Inactive Current icon appears, current is not flowing through the Lead Set. Check the security of the Lead 14
Wire connector, the adherence of the Surface Electrode, and the placement of the Needle Electrode Clip. »» Using the Current Adjustment button, slowly increase the current while monitoring the patient for a response. Patient response may be either motor or sensory. For some patients it is both. Motor response is typically a toe flex or fan, or an extension of the entire foot. Sensory response is generally described as a tingling sensation that travels away from the insertion site, towards the heel, arch, toes or up the leg.
»» Once a patient response is confirmed, reduce current setting by one level and begin Therapy mode. »» If the incremental adjustment of amplitude fails to elicit either a motor or a sensory response, press the Stop button and reposition the Needle Electrode slightly. Re-enter Test mode using the preceding instructions. »» If repositioning the Needle Electrode and repeating the current step-up procedure fails to elicit patient response, discard the Needle Electrode. Open the second Needle Electrode included in the Lead Set and repeat the procedure on the other leg. 7. Conduct therapy »» After completing Test mode, Therapy mode can be entered by either: 1) Pressing the Stop button to end Test mode and then pressing the Therapy button to start Therapy mode. or 2) Pressing the Therapy button while the Test mode is still active. Note: Test mode is a prerequisite to Therapy mode. 15
»» To ensure optimal treatment, the default current setting for Therapy mode will be the final current setting in Test mode. However, the Current Adjustment button can be used to increase or decrease the current level at any time during Therapy mode. »» Therapy mode time is automatically set for 30 minutes. »» When the therapy time has elapsed, Therapy mode will automatically end, the current will be inactive, and the Stimulator will emit a series of three beeps. 8. Complete Treatment Session »» Turn off the Stimulator by holding down the Power button for approximately 2 seconds. »» Remove the Needle Electrode Clip from the Needle Electrode. »» Using a smooth, fluid motion, quickly remove the Needle Electrode from the leg. If bleeding occurs, apply slight pressure and bandage. »» Disconnect the Lead Wire from the Stimulator and properly dispose of Lead Set components. »» The treatment session is now complete.
TREATMENT FREQUENCY »» Conduct 12 treatments, typically once per week. »» After the initial 12 treatments, slowly increase the time between treatments, with the patient closely monitored for the return of symptoms. »» If symptoms reappear or increase in severity, the patient’s treatment schedule should revert to the last previously effective treatment schedule.
MAINTENANCE After each treatment the surface of the Stimulator device should be wiped down with a soft cloth. The cloth may be slightly dampened, but not saturated, with water or with a mix of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%). 16
Use only a 9V alkaline battery to power the Stimulator. Never operate the Stimulator with any type of line-powered battery eliminator or other external power source. Battery life is dependent on the intensity of treatment; a new 9V battery will perform approximately 12 treatments at a current setting of 5mA (level 11). Recycle or dispose of batteries in compliance with applicable local and/or national regulations. Do not store Stimulator for long periods with battery in the device. If the Stimulator is not working properly, contact Cogentix Medical.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE A prior version of the Urgent PC Neuromodulation System (same stimulation waveform and treatment instructions) was evaluated for the treatment of patients with pelvic floor dysfunction with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency or urge incontinence in: (1) a single-investigator study (Dr. Stoller/UCSF) involving 98 subjects, (2) and a subsequent, corroborative multicenter study involving 63 subjects. The 63 patients treated in the corroborative study consist of a primary cohort of 52 patients and a supplementary cohort of 11 patients. These 63 patients were treated using a uniform regimen (i.e., a single, 30-minute session/ week for a total of 12 weeks). The primary data regarding the safety and effectiveness of the device came from the corroborative multicenter study (Govier et al., Journal of Urology, Vol. 165, pp. 1193-1198, 2001). Safety The safety of the Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is based on all 63 patients treated in the corroborative study. Of the 63 patients treated, 28 (44.4%) reported a total of 95 adverse events. 17
Of these 95 events, only 26 (27.4%) events in 9 patients were considered to be related to the device or the therapy. The adverse events included transient moderate pain at or near the stimulation site (n=3), transient mild pain or skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site (n=21), and transient mild bleeding at needle insertion site (n=2). No serious device related adverse events occurred in any patient. NOTE: If your patient complains of any pain or discomfort following treatment, discontinue use of the stimulator and re-evaluate the case for continuation of treatment. Effectiveness In the single investigator-study, approximately 80% of patients were classified as a treatment success by the investigator. Success was defined as substantial subjective improvement whereby the initial complaint was no longer the central focus of the patient, or a greater than 50% improvement of the initial symptoms was seen. Failure was defined as minimal or no change in symptoms. In the corroborative study, device effectiveness was based on primary cohort patients. Overall, 71% of patients were classified by the investigators as a treatment success. Success was defined by study design as at least a 25% reduction from baseline in daytime or nighttime frequency in those patients who presented at baseline with > 10 daytime micturitions and/or > 3 nighttime micturitions. Detailed effectiveness results from the corroborative study are summarized in the following table:
