Intended Use and Indication for Use comparisons:
Both systems have the same general intended use and indications for use. Both are also prescription use & home use.
As to the intended patient population, while in the predicate the intended population group is not specified, in the proposed Dermadry an adult population is specified. This should not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness since this is more specific and restrictive than in the predicate.
The initial phase of device use is conducted under the supervision of the prescribing healthcare professional. This is similar to the predicate device's first phase of use.
Considering that same intended use, the same indication for use statement, the same home environment of use, and the adult population specificity within that of the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate with respect to the intended use and indications.
Technology Comparisons:
The Dermadry implements the same iontophoresis technology as the predicate utilizing the same main components for the treatment of hyperhidrosis of the hands, feet, and armpits.
The differences as highlighted in the table are of an engineering approach nature. Their discussion in terms of equivalence are as follows:
Differences in the method of controlling the treatment current and treatment current levels: ●
While in the predicate the treatment current is indirectly control of the user set voltage level across the electrodes, in the proposed device the applied current treatment is directly controlled with the system adjusting the voltage across the electrodes to provide the desired current level. As to the treatment current levels, in the predicate, equally for any of the treatment locations, the maximum voltage level that the user can adjust is 60 V, and the current is limited to 35 mA (at any voltage level). In the Dermadry, the directly controlled target current levels have limits depending on treatment location as noted in the table (15, 25, and 8 mA for the hands, feet, and armpits respectively), and the self-adjusting voltages are limited also per the treatment location (48, 55, and 30 V for the hands, feet, and armpits respectively). Therefore, the proposed device treatment current and voltages are in all cases less than the maximums in the predicate with corresponding lower current sensitivity and risk effects. As to effectiveness, although the maximum permissible treatment levels are reduced, the current levels in the Dermadry are of the same order as those typically used in Iontophoresis device for hyperhidrosis (around 10 - 25 mA). Therefore, these differences do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
7
Dermadry
Differences in the treatment durations: ●
In addition, whereas in the predicate the duration is adjusted and set by the user and is not limited by the controller with only a labelled recommended duration of approximately 15 min for all three treatment areas, in the Dermadry the controller limits the duration of the current administration per the selected treatment area (20, 20, and 15 min for the hands, feet, and armpits respectively). These longer durations in the Dermadry for the hand and feet case are implemented corresponding with its lower possible current levels as compared to the predicate. Similarly as per the above point, this controller's limited duration should help further minimize possible sensitivity and risks effects given the fixed set limits. Furthermore, the treatment duration limits in the Dermadry are still comparatively safe relative to the lower recommended durations in the hands and feet cases of the predicate given the lower permissible current and voltage levels and the corresponding total possible total energy that the Dermadry can output to the patient. Considering the maximum current and voltages in the worst treatment cases, the maximum energy that can be output to the patient is 1890 Joules over 15 minutes in the predicate as compared to 1650 Joules over 20 minutes for the Dermadry (see table below).
| | Max Current
(A) | Max Tension
(V) | Duration
(min) | Max Energy
(J) |
|------------------|--------------------|--------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| Predicate Hidrex | 0.035 | 60 | 15 | 1890 |
| Dermadry | 0.025 | 55 | 20 | 1650 |
● Differences in the maximum current densities:
Stemming mainly from the lower current levels in the Dermadry, the current density levels are respectively 64%, 39%, and 75% less in the proposed Dermadry for the hands, feet, and underarms electrodes as compared to the predicate levels. These should therefore not present any new risk concerns similarly as noted in the above points while still providing adequately effective current levels.
-
Differences in the DC signal pulse width specifications: ●
Whereas in the predicate the pulse width is user selectable (50% to 100% in increments of 10%), in the Dermadry device it is fixed at 90%. Given that the Dermadry setting is within that of available settings in the predicate and that this characteristic is more related to patient comfort, it does not present any new risk concerns. -
Differences in the polarity reversal specifications:
Whereas in the predicate the polarity is to be reversed manually by the user (approximately when results are initially felt), in the predicate it's automatically reversed every 5, 5, and 2.5 min for the hands, feet, and armpits respectively. This further ensures that the polarity will be reversed to help minimize pH changes and related effects. Therefore, this does not present any new risk concerns. -
Differences in the hardware output current/voltage limits: ●
The predicate outer hardware cut-off safety limits is 60 V / 35 mA. This is slightly lower in the Dermadry at 60 V and 30 mA (current limiter circuit). Given the slightly improved safety level, this does not present any new risk concerns.
● Differences in the output jacks:
The jacks in the Dermadry are is of slightly smaller size as compared to the predicate. They are however insulated as in the predicate, and they equally meet the minimum requirements of safety per IEC 60601-1 as in the predicate.

The shapes are colored in shades of blue, with the upper shape being a darker teal and the lower shape a lighter turquoise. Below the shapes, the word "Dermadry" is written in a lowercase sans-serif font, also in the lighter turquoise color.
● Differences in the dimensions:
While there are differences in component dimensions, aside from the effect on current density from the electrodes as discussed above, the differences are only dimensional without raising any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
- Differences in the conductive areas:
While there are differences in the conductive areas (lower in the Dermadry underarm electrode and sponge pocket and higher in the feet/hands electrode and towel as compared to the predicate), the lower areas are offset by the lower current levels in the Dermadry with the current densities still be significantly lower than in the predicate without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness as was discussed above under the current density point.
. Differences in the power supply:
While the AC Adapter in the Dermadry has a lower voltage and higher amperage output to the controller than in the predicate, the power output is the same (6 VA) and in both cases the power supply Adapters meet the safety requirements of IEC 60601-1.
Considering the above, the Dermadry proposes the same technology and methods as the predicate to address the same indications. The noted differences in their detail specifications do not present any new questions of safety or effectiveness whereby the two devices are substantially equivalent.
10. Performance Data
- -Treatment voltage and amperage accuracy performance testing was performed under simulated conditions.
- Electrical safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility per standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1--2.
- -Biocompatibility Evaluation per ISO 10993-1 and the related FDA Guidance: Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.
