BlueWind Revi tibial neuromodulation

The Revi System is a battery-less implant near the tibial nerve at the ankle, powered by a wearable unit, for urgency incontinence. This sheet comes from the FDA De Novo review (DEN220073) and the 2024 510(k) record. Clinical result percentages were not extracted and stay Unreported.

Identity

FieldValue and source scope
DeviceBlueWind Revi System: battery-less Implant, Rechargeable Wearable Unit with leg band, Clinician Programmer and a Hub [1]
ManufacturerBlueWind Medical Ltd., Herzliya, Israel [1][2]
Interface classWirelessly powered implanted tibial nerve stimulator [1]
OriginCommercial FDA-authorized device; De Novo request received October 5, 2022; the pivotal study is named OASIS, and the review text also refers to the system as RENOVA iStim [1]
First demonstratedUnreported
First human implantUnreported
Species studiedUnreported
Regulatory statusDe Novo DEN220073 (implanted tibial electrical urinary continence device, product code QXM); 510(k) K240037 decision May 2, 2024, substantially equivalent [1][2]
FunctionTreatment of urgency incontinence alone or with urinary urgency by tibial nerve stimulation [1]
Target tissueTibial nerve near the ankle, in the vicinity of the tibial neurovascular bundle [1]

System architecture

FieldValue and source scope
Onboard electronicsImplant has no internal power source; the Wearable Unit holds the circuit board, flexible antenna and battery and pairs to one implant [1]
Data pathBluetooth between the Wearable Unit and a Hub, which transfers data to the cloud during charging sessions [1]
Telemetry bandwidthUnreported
Sampling rateUnreported
PowerWearable Unit: Li-ion rechargeable 1400 mAh, 3.1-4.2 V; up to 1 week of therapy per charge. The implant draws power wirelessly [1]
Thermal managementUnreported
Packaging and hermeticityUnreported
MRI compatibilitySponsor testing showed the Implant is MR compatible at 1.5 T and 3 T under specified conditions [1]
Surgical complexityUnreported
Output connectorsUnreported

Clinical and preclinical evidence

FieldValue and source scope
Human subjectsOASIS pivotal study: 27 sites; 282 consented and screened, 151 implanted (intent-to-treat set) [1]
Preclinical cohortUnreported
Follow-up durationVisits at activation (4 weeks plus or minus 2 weeks after implant), then 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after activation [1]
IndicationsUrgency incontinence alone or combined with urinary urgency [1]
Trials and registriesOASIS (OverActive Bladder Stimulation System Study); registry ID not extracted here [1]
Primary outcomesPrimary effectiveness endpoint: proportion of responders at 6 months after activation, defined as at least 50% improvement in average urge urinary incontinence episodes on a 7-day diary, against a 50% performance goal. The responder result was not extracted here [1]
Key limitationsResult percentages and adverse event rates from the De Novo review were not extracted; use of the Revi name versus RENOVA iStim in the review text is the same sponsor system per the context but the review’s own naming is mixed [1]

Engineering tradeoffs

FieldValue and source scope
StrengthsBattery-less implant powered by a wearable unit; MR conditional at 1.5 T and 3 T [1]
LimitationsPatient must wear and charge the external unit [1]
Scaling constraintsUnreported

Version boundary

The De Novo review calls the sponsor’s system Revi in its description and RENOVA iStim in some trial text. The 510(k) K240037 (decision May 2, 2024) lists the Revi System. Later changes are not described here.
