SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA (SSED) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Device Generic Name: Implantable Upper Airway Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Device Trade Name: Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation System Device Procode: MNQ Applicant’s Name and Address: Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. 5500 Wayzata Blvd., Suite 1600 Golden Valley, MN 55416 Date(s) of Panel Recommendation: None Premarket Approval Application (PMA) Number: P130008/S090 Date of FDA Notice of Approval: June 8, 2023 The original PMA (P130008) was approved on April 30, 2014 and is indicated to treat a subset of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have been confirmed to fail or cannot tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment and who do not have a complete concentric collapse at the soft palate level. The original PMA was approved in adult patients 22 years of age or older. Supplement P130008/S039 expanded the indications for the Inspire UAS system to include adolescent patients between 18 and 21 years of age and supplement P130008/S089 expanded the indications to include pediatric patients with Down syndrome between 13 and 18 years of age. Supplement P130008/S090 expands the indications further to include OSA patients, 18 years of age or older, with AHI ”. The supplement also updates the BMI warning to note that the BMI upper limit For which safety and effectiveness data is available has increased from %0,”WR%0,” II. INDICATIONS FOR USE Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) is used to treat a subset of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] of greater than or equal to 15 and less than or equal to 100). Inspire UAS is used in adult patients 22 years of age and older who have been confirmed to fail or cannot tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) treatments (such as continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] or bi-level positive airway PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 1 of 26 pressure [BPAP] machines) and who do not have a complete concentric collapse at the soft palate level. PAP failure is defined as an inability to eliminate OSA (AHI of greater than 15 despite PAP usage), and PAP intolerance is defined as: (1) Inability to use PAP (greater than 5 nights per week of usage; usage defined as greater than 4 hours of use per night), or (2) Unwillingness to use PAP (for example, a patient returns the PAP system after attempting to use it). Inspire UAS is also indicated for use in patients between the ages of 18 to 21 with moderate WR VHYHUH 26$ ”$+,”100), and pediatric patients ages 13 to 18 years with Down syndrome and AHI greater than 10 and less than 50 who: x x x x III.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation System labeling. V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Inspire UAS system consists of implanted components including the implantable pulse generator (IPG), stimulation lead and sensing lead, and external components such as the physician programmer and the patient remote. See Figure 1 below depicting the implantable components and their relative positioning. The IPG detects the patient’s respiratory effort and maintains airway patency with mild stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve during inspiration. The physician is able to configure the stimulation settings using the external physician programmer. The patient sleep remote allows the patient to turn therapy on before they go to sleep and to turn therapy off when they wake up. It also provides the ability to pause therapy and adjust stimulation amplitude within physician-defined limits that are within the therapeutic range of treatment. Stimulation Lead Sensing Lead Generator Figure 1: Inspire® system components and implant location Table 1 provides a description of the implanted and external components of the Inspire® UAS system. PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 3 of 26 Table 1: Inspire® UAS System Components Component Description Implanted Components: Model 3028 Implantable The IPG contains electronics and a battery sealed inside a Pulse Generator (IPG) titanium case. The surgeon implants the IPG subcutaneously, below the clavicle in the upper chest, and connects to the stimulation lead and sensing lead. The algorithm synchronizes stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve to deliver stimulation during the late expiratory and through the inspiratory phase of respiration. Model 3028 is a second generation IPG replacing the Model 3024 and is smaller and MR conditional. Model 4063 Stimulation Lead The stimulation lead includes a cuff electrode with a guarded bipolar configuration. The surgeon positions the cuff around a patient’s hypoglossal nerve and connects the connector tip end of the lead to the IPG. The cuff electrodes apply electrical current that stimulates the hypoglossal nerve, which causes the base of the tongue to protrude forward in order to open the upper airway. Model 4323 and Model 4340 Sensing Leads The sensing lead is placed in the intercostal space and contains a piezoelectric differential pressure sensor for detecting respiratory signals. External Components: Model 2500 and Model 2580 Sleep Remote Model 2740 Physician Programmer VI. The patient sleep remote is a handheld device. It is placed on the skin over the implant and provides a non-invasive means for patient to activate the IPG, to adjust the stimulation parameters (within the physician prescribed limits), and to check battery status. The physician programmer consists of a tablet computer and a telemetry cable. The telemetry head communicates with the IPG through the skin via short-range radio-frequency (RF) telemetry. Telemetry communication allows the physician to noninvasively interrogate and configure the IPG settings. The physician programmer has the capability to monitor respiratory waveforms, configure stimulation modes, adjust stimulation parameter values, and store waveforms and settings. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 4 of 26 There are several other alternatives for the correction of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with AHI>65 and/or BMI ”40 who have failed or are intolerant of PAP. These include upper airway surgical procedures and mandibular advancement devices (MAD). Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle. VII. MARKETING HISTORY The Inspire UAS device has been commercially available in the U.S. since April 30, 2014. The device received CE Mark approval on October 20, 2010, and has been commercially available in the European Union since that time. The device has been commercially available in Japan since June of 2018, and in Australia since June 8, 2020. The Inspire UAS device has not been withdrawn from the market in any country. VIII.

IX. SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL STUDIES All preclinical data to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Inspire UAS system has been reviewed by FDA under the original PMA (P130008) and subsequent supplements. No new preclinical information was required for the expansion of the indications for use (IFU). X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDIES Real world evidence data from Inspire Medical’s ADHERE Registry (ongoing observational study) was used to support the expanded indication for use and update to the BMI warning. The ADHERE Registry is a multi-center, prospective, observational registry, conducted in the United States and Europe. The ADHERE registry is designed to capture data on 5,000 patients implanted with Inspire UAS, undergoing standard of care management following UAS implant. All patients who undergo implant of the Inspire UAS system are eligible to participate in the registry if they are willing to provide consent and have a life expectancy of at least one year. IRB approval is required for each clinical center to be included in the Registry. In addition, subjects must consent to have their data collected and reported (unless a waiver of consent was provided by the IRB). Out of 3,988 subjects enrolled in the registry as of July 22, 2022, 57 patients were included in the analysis to support expanding the indication of the UAS to patients with 65<AHI”, and 279 patients were included in the analysis to support updating the BMI warning. Specific to the patient population of AHI>65 and BMI>32, Inspire evaluated efficacy using data from the ADHERE registry data using at least one of the following values recorded at final visit: AHI, ESS, Therapy Usage, CGI (Clinical Global Impression), and/or Patient Satisfaction data.: Safety was evaluated via an analysis of all reported adverse events. A. AHI ADHERE DATA ANALYSIS: Table 2 below provides demographic characteristics of patients included in the analysis to support expanding the indication of the Inspire UAS to patients with AHI”.

The registry captures data on each enrolled patient through their first annual visit. However, the visit window for the first annual visit can be up to 2 years post-implant to allow patients to get full therapy optimization. Table 3 below provides data on the final visit AHI, change in AHI from baseline, and responder rate.

Thus, both groups received similarly effective treatment for their OSA. Given this finding, it follows that there was a significant difference when comparing reduction in AHI for these groups, with patients that had an AHI>65 at baseline showing greater reduction in AHI. Further analysis of the ADHERE data similarly showed change from baseline to final ESS for both AHI groups, on average. There also was not a statistical difference in Final ESS or Change in ESS when both AHI groups were compared with each other. Thus, sleepiness symptoms were similar in both groups. The safety profile reported in the population with baseline 65<AHI” was similar to that RIWKH$+,”SDWLHQWSRSXODWLRQTable 4 and Table 5 summarize AEs in this population. No unanticipated adverse events were identified.

C. Pediatric Extrapolation In this premarket application, existing clinical data was not leveraged to support approval of a pediatric patient population. D. Financial Disclosure The Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators regulation (21 CFR 54) requires applicants who submit a marketing application to include certain information concerning the compensation to, and financial interests and arrangement of, any clinical investigator conducting clinical studies covered by the regulation. Inspire provided this information in the original PMA which was used as evidence to support approval. XI. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA’S POST-PANEL ACTION In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Anesthesiology and Respiratory Therapy Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel. PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 20 of 26 XII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES A. Effectiveness Conclusions The effectiveness results from the ADHERE registry in patients with 65<AHI”100 and 32<BMI”40 showed consistent results with those of the STAR trial subjects. Patients with AHI”100 and BMI”40 demonstrated significant reductions in the severity of OSA and improvements in quality of life. B. Safety Conclusions The safety profile of Inspire therapy was demonstrated in STAR trial data and postapproval studies through 60 months of extended follow up. The incidence of device or procedure related serious adverse events within 18 months was low (1.6%). While nonserious adverse events were frequent, 75% of such events were fully resolved primarily with either medication, device reprogramming or other measures. The device-related serious AE rate was relatively low (6.3%) over the 5-year follow up. All related serious AEs involved revisions or replacements to the system or components that have resolved without issue. The ADHERE registry data demonstrated a consistent safety profile for patients with a baseline AHI”100 with that of the STAR trial. When comparing the $+,” DQG 65”AHI”100 groups there was no significant difference in the rate of serious or nonserious adverse events and there was no new adverse event noted in the analysis. OSA patients with baseline 32<BMI ”also demonstrated consistent result with the STAR trial. Rhabdomyolysis was reported in 1 patient in the 32%0,”40 group and all other adverse events were consistent with Inspire’s labeling and prior clinical experience. C. Benefit-Risk Determination OSA is a sleep disorder characterized by recurrent airway narrowing or closures during sleep, OSA can result in severe complications if left untreated. These include neurobehavioral impairment, impaired memory, poor concentration, behavioral problems, cardiovascular comorbidities, reduced quality of life, metabolic disorder, and depression. The most common first line treatment for OSA is CPAP therapy. However, multiple CPAP clinical trials have shown adherence at less than 50%, such as the APPLES study demonstrated only 39% of trial subjects were compliant to CPAP therapy 6-months after first being prescribed. i Alternative effective therapies to CPAP for patients with AHI>65 and BMI ” 40 is limited to upper airway surgeries and Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) intended to enlarge the airway. Upper airway surgeries often have response rates less than 50%, and even lower response in patients with higher AHI and BMI ii,iii. Airway surgeries also have higher post-operative PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 21 of 26 complication rates than Inspire UAS, which may limit adoption of upper airway surgery in more severe OSA and obese patients iv. Oral Appliances also have challenges in this population v. Since 2012, it has been widely accepted that oral appliances are primarily indicated for mild-to-moderate OSA. Further, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has also concluded that the clinical evidence for upper airway surgeries efficacy is insufficient. vi Therefore, the clinical needs of the CPAP-intolerant OSA patient population with AHI>65 and/or BMI>32 were not adequately met by currently available treatment options. Inspire therapy provides an alternative treatment option for OSA patients who are not effectively treated by current treatment options. Given the seriousness of the co-morbidities associated with untreated OSA, and the low rate of CPAP compliance, the magnitude of Inspire therapy’s benefits is substantial for OSA patient population with 65<AHI”100 and/or 32<BMI”40. The probable benefits of the device are based on data collected in clinical studies conducted to support PMA approval as described above. x x x x Reduction in severity of obstructive sleep apnea Preserved sleep quality Improved subjective quality of life Potential improvement in therapy usage when compared to CPAP usage. The probable risks of the device are also based on data collected in clinical studies conducted to support PMA approval as described above. Inspire therapy demonstrated a sufficient safety profile to support PMA approval in 2014 and continued to do so in the post-approval study through 60 months of extended follow up (P130008/R012). When considering the adverse events from ADHERE for patients with a baseline 65<AHI”100 or baseline 32<BMI”40, these groups have similar safety profiles to the patient groups with baseline 15<AHI<65 or BMI<32, respectively. Additional factors to be considered in determining probable risks and benefits for the Inspire UAS device include: x x x x x x Requires surgical procedure Permanent implant; if explanted possibility of cuff/partial leads remaining Chance of revisions Battery replacements at 7-10 year intervals Increased risk of lead breakage/migration or damage to IPG, due to participation in vigorous physical activities/contact sports in the 18to 21-year-old population Permanent scarring Keloid formation particularly in patients of pigmented skin types PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 22 of 26 x Unnecessary intervention due to possibility of spontaneous remission of OSA Common Adverse Events include: x x x x x x x Tongue soreness/abrasion/weakness Stimulation discomfort/high stimulation Skin scratching/scarring Dry mouth Mechanical pain Headache Infection Despite the frequency of non-serious adverse events the study exhibited a high device compliance rate (85%) suggesting that the non-serious adverse events did not prohibit device use on a regular basis. Direct assessments of patient preference between Inspire UAS and CPAP were done in the ADHERE registry, showing 91% of patients preferred Inspire better than CPAP, and the high compliance and usage hours rate suggests that patients tolerated the risks well. In conclusion, the data summarized above, for the expanded use of the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation System in the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea for patients with 65<$+,”DQG/or 32<%0,” who: x have been confirmed to fail positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy or who are intolerant to PAP or x who have been contraindicated for or not effectively treated by adenotonsillectomy, and x who have absence of complete concentric collapse at the level of the soft palate, was found to be safe and effective and the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks. Patient Perspective This submission either did not include specific information on patient perspectives or the information did not serve as part of the basis of the decision to approve or deny the PMA for this device. D. Overall Conclusions The data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of this device when used in accordance with the indications for use. Based on the clinical study results, it is reasonable to expect that a significant portion of the patient population will achieve clinically significant results in reduction in severity of OSA (as reflected by AHI PMA P130008-S090: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data 23 of 26 and improved subjective quality of life. The safety profile of Inspire therapy in patients with 65<$+,”DQG/or 32<%0,” was comparable to STAR trial with low rate of serious adverse events that resulted in revision, repositioning, or replacement of the Inspire system. Compliance with device usage was also similar to STAR Trial. Given the limited treatment options for OSA in CPAP intolerant patients, the adverse consequences associated with untreated, progressive OSA and the 50% compliance rate with PAP therapy, the probable benefits of Inspire® therapy for OSA patients with 65<AHI”100 and/or 32<BMI”40 outweigh the probable risks.
