Inspire Therapy • A treatment for OSA patients who are unable to use CPAP In a 60-90 minute outpatient procedure Using the Inspire Remote Using the SleepSyncTM patient management platform 5 Surgically Placed Patient Controlled Managed by SleepSyncTM


 
Inspire V System 6 The Fifth Generation of a proven therapy for OSA is designed for a(n): • Simplified procedure • Enhanced patient comfort • More efficient patient management


 
7 Simplified Procedure One Less Step With a new integrated respiratory sensor, Inspire V eliminates the need to place a separate sensing lead, simplifying the procedure. 2 components 2 incisions 3 components 2 incisions3 components 3 incisions Inspire V Inspire IV 2- incision approach Initial Inspire IV


 
Precision Stimulation Timing Stimulation delivered when the airway is most vulnerable to collapse during the inspiratory phase inspiration inspiration airflow stimulation Accelerometer detects breathing


 
9 Tailored Therapy Options Designed for Patient Comfort Program patient therapy levels at half or quarter step sizes with Inspire V when needed Stimulation Step Sizes Gently initiate therapy, without disturbing sleep with Inspire V when needed Ramp Option 5, 10, 15 minute options


 
Inspire V Study Design • Prospective, multicenter cohort study • Designed to confirm effectiveness of Inspire V System • Two investigational centers (Singapore) • Singapore General Hospital (Prof. Toh Song Tar; Dr. Shaun Loh; Dr. Adele Ng) • National University Hospital (Dr. Crystal Cheong) • 44 Subjects • Patient Population • Subjects 21 years or age or older with moderate to severe OSA who meet the Inspire V UAS system indications for use and are willing to participate in the clinical trial


 
Study Objectives Primary Endpoint: Non-inferiority of Inspire V vs Inspire IV technology as measured by IPOP (Inspiratory Phase Overlap Percent) during in-lab polysomnography. Secondary Endpoints: • Change in Apnea – Hypopnea Index (AHI) at 6 Months post-activation • Mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is less than 10 at 6 Months post- activation Ancillary Information: • Therapy Adherence (hours/day) at 6 months post-activation • Procedure and Device/therapy Adverse Events • IPOP at 6 months post-activation • Mean Function Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) at 6 months post- activation


 
Clinical Study Design Baseline <90 days pre- implant Implant Day 0 Activation Clinic Visit 30 ± 14 days post-implant Activation Sleep Study ~2-3 months post activation 3 Month FU 90 ± 30 days post-activation 6 Month FU 180 ± 30 days post-activation PSG (no titration) for IPOP Analysis (1º endpoint) PSG (Titration) PSG (no titration) 2º endpoint

Study Results to Date Procedure Details • 100% successful Implants (n=44) • 20.4% reduction in implant time (vs Inspire IV) • No serious intraoperative adverse events


 
Primary Endpoint Inspiratory Phase Overlap Percent (IPOP)* Sensing performance is measured using IPOP during in-lab PSG IPOP measures how well inspiration is covered by stimulation. *Based on the mean inspiratory overlap derived from Inspire IV analysis and a non-inferiority margin of 4.59, the following hypothesis will be tested: H0: 𝑥𝑥 ̅_𝐼𝐼𝑂𝑂<74.8%, Ha: 𝑥𝑥 ̅_𝐼𝐼𝑂𝑂≥74.8%, where 𝑥𝑥 ̅_𝐼𝐼𝑂𝑂 is the mean inspiratory overlap of Inspire V. (example) 100% IPOP100% IPOP 100% IPOP


 
Inspire V Sensing Performance Primary Endpoint: Inspiratory Phase Overlap Percent (IPOP) Results** Inspire V IPOP 87.1% Confidence Interval: 85.5%-88.8% Inspire IV* IPOP 79.4% Non-inferiority Margin: 4.6% Sensing with Inspire V is SUPERIOR to Inspire IV *Inclusive of previous Inspire generations (data collected during the Wear Study) **Inspire V was found to be non-inferior to Inspire IV (retrospective control from Wear Study); superiority was subsequently tested No device setting changes were made during the Inspire V IPOP measurement PSGs

Interim 6 Month Results: Safety • No revisions/explants • Serious Adverse Events • Wound dehiscence (resolved): 2 • Patients provided antibiotics and event resolved within two weeks post-op • Non-serious Adverse Events • Neuropraxia (resolved): 1 • Right marginal mandibular weakness (resolved): 1 • Difficulty speaking (resolved): 1 • Hypotension during implant (resolved): 1 • Hypertrophic scar: 3


 
• Simplified implant procedure • 20.4% reduction in implant time • Elimination of respiratory sense lead • Accelerometer technology • Inspire V sensing is superior to previous Inspire generations • Strong objective therapy adherence at 5.5 hrs/night • Clinically significant reductions in OSA severity • Clinically significant improvements in key quality of life measures Inspire V Clinical Study Conclusions
