−Removed: Medical Robotic and Skin Rejuvenation Markets
−Removed: The United States is expected to see a shortage
−Removed: of nearly 122,000 physicians by 2032 as demand for physicians continues to grow faster than supply, according to new data published by
−Removed: the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges).
−Removed: This trend is unfortunately being seen in the rest of the world as well.
−Removed: Health Organization (“ WHO ”) estimates that there is a global shortage of 4.3 million physicians, nurses, and other
−Removed: health professionals.
−Removed: The shortage is often starkest in developing nations due to the limited numbers and capacity of medical schools
−Removed: in these countries.
−Removed: One solution that is expected to mitigate this
−Removed: shortage will be the growing use of robotic systems for both their ability to be used remotely by the doctor (i.e.
−Removed: a doctor could, from
−Removed: a central location, cover anywhere in the world given proper connectivity), but also for their ability to increase the efficiency of existing
−Removed: practitioners.
−Removed: The ever-growing high cost of healthcare is also a driver for the growth in the use of robotic systems.
−Removed: Advantages of using medical robotics include:
−Removed: cost per treatment
−Removed: treatment accuracy
−Removed: treatment outcomes
−Removed: patient throughput
−Removed: multi-platform integration
−Removed: shortfall of physicians/surgeons
−Removed: The concept of using a robot in surgical procedures
−Removed: became a practical reality in 2000, when the FDA approved the da Vinci® robotic system, introduced to the market by Intuitive Surgical,
−Removed: For years, ISRG was essentially the sole company manufacturing and marketing robotic devices for use
−Removed: in the rapidly emerging field of robotic assisted, minimally invasive surgery.
−Removed: Today, the U.S.
−Removed: is the leader in robot-assisted
−Removed: However, other countries are fast followers, having already recognized both the need and the promise of such technologies.
−Removed: development of surgical robotics is motivated by the desire to enhance the effectiveness of a procedure by coupling information to action
−Removed: in the operating room or interventional suite and transcend human physical limitations in performing surgery and other interventional
−Removed: procedures, while still affording human control over the procedure.
−Removed: Two decades after the first reported robot assisted surgical procedure,
−Removed: surgical robots are now being widely used in the operating room.
−Removed: According to Kenneth Research, the worldwide medical robotics market
−Removed: is projected to reach $11.36 billion by 2023, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (“ CAGR ”) of 12.6% during 2018–2023.
−Removed: According to Kenneth Research, North America is
−Removed: currently the world’s largest market for medical robotics, holding an over 40% market share as of 2019, with significant growth
−Removed: expected in the coming years.
−Removed: Growth in North America is driven by a few factors
−Removed: including the high rate of adoption of these new technologies and the growing demand for more precise, less invasive, and safer surgical
−Removed: The overall growth of this industry is driven by the rising demand for these technologies, the growing and aging population,
−Removed: as well as increasing healthcare expenditures.
−Removed: Due to the growth in robotics for medical applications
−Removed: over the last several years, the medical robotics space has seen increasing mergers and acquisitions activity and we expect this to continue
−Removed: for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Some recent examples include:
−Removed: ● Medtronic’s
−Removed: acquisition of Mazor Robotics in September 2018 for $1.6 billion.
−Removed: & Johnson’s acquisition of Auris Health in February 2019 for $5.75 billion (Johnson & Johnson is now a shareholder of Avra
−Removed: through its ownership of Auris Health, which was one of the founding shareholders of Avra.
−Removed: acquisition of Orthoscape in March 2019 for $220 million.
−Removed: Surgical’s acquisition of Schölly Fiberoptic’s robotic endoscope business in July 2019 for an undisclosed sum.
−Removed: Medical Solutions’ acquisition of Corindus Vascular Robotics in August 2019 for $1.1 billion.
−Removed: Similar to growth in the use of medical robots
−Removed: in various procedures, the demand for skin rejuvenation procedures is also rapidly growing, which is a primary reason why we chose the
−Removed: skin rejuvenation market as our initial point of entry into the medical robotics field.
−Removed: According to a research letter published by Jama
−Removed: Network, in 2016, the total number of dermatology providers was 13,365 (10,845 dermatologists and 2,520 dermatology physician assistants).
−Removed: The global medical aesthetic market is expected to reach $16.7 billion by 2022, with North America remaining the largest single market.
−Removed: According to the National Laser Institute, between
−Removed: 2000 and 2018, the total number of non-surgical cosmetic treatments performed increased by 228% with 15.9 million non-surgical cosmetic
−Removed: treatments performed in 2018.
−Removed: The National Laser Institute also estimated that over $16.5 billion was spent in the U.S.
−Removed: on cosmetic procedures
−Removed: According to a research study by Persistence Market
−Removed: Research, the global market for skin rejuvenation is projected to reach a CAGR of 8.7%.
−Removed: By region, the North American and Asian Pacific
−Removed: excluding Japan (“ APEJ ”) regions reflect high potential in the years to come.
−Removed: The North American region is expected
−Removed: to dominate the global market as it is estimated to be the largest and highly attractive for skin rejuvenation.
−Removed: The North American skin
−Removed: rejuvenation market is estimated to reach a CAGR of 9.4% at its peak.
−Removed: Most products designed to improve the appearance
−Removed: of the skin do not repair the skin itself;
−Removed: rather, they cover and hide scarring and blemishes temporarily.
−Removed: Wrinkles also are challenging
−Removed: as the skin ages and are hard to cover over.
−Removed: Some current treatments aim to slow or forestall the development of wrinkles, but with questionable
−Removed: effectiveness.
−Removed: Micro-needling and laser treatments are two common ablative procedures currently in use today for skin resurfacing, specifically
−Removed: focused on tone, texture and skin tightening.
−Removed: Other platforms include radiofrequency, ultrasound, cryolipolysis, and a multitude of laser
−Removed: frequencies that are available to practitioners.
−Removed: Micro-needling is used to treat and improve conditions
−Removed: like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues.
−Removed: also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy (“ CIT ”), and percutaneous collagen induction (“ PCI ”).
−Removed: Most anyone can have the procedure performed, as long as they do not have any active infections, lesions, or any known wound healing problems.
−Removed: Micro-needling is typically performed in
−Removed: a series of four to six sessions, spaced about a month apart.
−Removed: During the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied, and then stainless-steel
−Removed: micro-needles are inserted into the skin to cause microinjuries or punctures.
−Removed: The damage caused by the needles encourages the body to
−Removed: send healing agents (elastin and collagen) to the punctures to repair them.
−Removed: According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four micro-needling
−Removed: sessions spaced one month apart produced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment.
−Removed: Laser resurfacing also can shrink wrinkles,
−Removed: even eliminating small wrinkles, by removing the outer layer of skin, allowing new skin to form.
−Removed: While simple, this procedure can be painful.
−Removed: Laser resurfacing works by burning off skin;
−Removed: skin can reach 1500°F (800°C) in the process of being removed, and adjacent areas
−Removed: of skin can approach 400°F.
−Removed: Unsurprisingly, general anesthesia is often required.
−Removed: Open wounds are created and healing may take up
−Removed: to three weeks.
−Removed: Skin redness may persist for three months, during which the skin is particularly sensitive to UV light.
−Removed: Other risks of
−Removed: laser resurfacing include scarring, changes in skin pigmentation and bacterial infection.
−Removed: Most, if not all, of the more severe adverse
−Removed: effects of laser resurfacing treatments are due to errors in the application of the treatment.
−Removed: Applying the laser too close to the skin,
−Removed: for too long on one area of the skin, and at the wrong settings, are just some examples of human errors for this procedure.
−Removed: this procedure could reduce, if not eliminate, these human errors.
−Removed: A recent study by Yongsoo Lee, M.D., co-CEO and
−Removed: co-founder, Oh and Lee Medical Robot, Inc., in South Korea, presented at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery meeting held
−Removed: in April 2017, comparing the improvements in the evenness of laser irradiation using a robot versus manual irradiation found the robot-guided
−Removed: treatment to be much more accurate than the human hand, achieving superior outcomes.
−Removed: Results of the study showed that robotic irradiation
−Removed: demonstrated consistency in distances between beams and distribution in fractions at both 30 and 10 Hz frequencies and was significantly
−Removed: superior to manual irradiation in the ratio of area covered by beams to regions of interest, distances between beams, and distribution
−Removed: in fractions at each frequency.
−Removed: The investigators concluded the robot-guided treatment to be superior to the manually guided treatment.
−Removed: “As an aesthetic dermatologist myself, I
−Removed: can appreciate that virtually all doctors would welcome the robot-guided treatments, as valuable time can be saved in the busy practice.
−Removed: That saved time can then be invested in other patients and procedures, allowing physicians to see more patients per day.
−Removed: Moreover, due
−Removed: to the heightened precision of robotic-guided treatments, cosmetic treatments are much safer with a significantly reduced chance of adverse
−Removed: events occurring such as burns and spotty hypopigmentation,” Dr.
−Removed: Technology Overview
−Removed: Current robots used in surgery are under the direct
−Removed: control of a surgeon — the so-called “ Master-slave system ”, often in a teleoperation scenario in which a human
−Removed: operator manipulates a master input device and the patient-side robot follows the input.
−Removed: There is no autonomy.
−Removed: Traditional minimally invasive
−Removed: surgical robots provide the surgeon with a higher degree of dexterity inside the body, eliminate operator tremor, scale down operator
−Removed: motions to a fraction of normal distances, and provide a very intuitive connection between the operator and the instrument tips.
−Removed: can cut, cauterize, suture and reconstruct tissue with accuracy equal to or better than that of invasive open surgery.
−Removed: A surgical system
−Removed: contains both robotic devices and real-time imaging devices to visualize the operative field during the course of surgery.
−Removed: The use of robotics in medicine inherently involves
−Removed: physical interaction between caregivers, patients, and robots — in all combinations.
−Removed: Developing user-friendly physical interfaces between
−Removed: humans and robots requires all the classic elements of a robotic system:
−Removed: sensing, perception, and action.
−Removed: A great variety of sensing and
−Removed: perception tasks are required, including recording the motions and forces of a surgeon to infer their intent, determining the mechanical
−Removed: parameters of human tissue, and estimating the forces between a robot and a moving patient.
−Removed: The reciprocal nature of interaction means
−Removed: that the robot will also need to provide useful feedback to the human operator, whether that person is a caregiver or a patient.
−Removed: to consider systems that involve many human senses, the most common of which are vision, haptics (force and tactile), and sound.
−Removed: reason why systems involving physical collaboration between humans and robots are so difficult to design well is that, from the perspective
−Removed: of a robot, humans are extremely uncertain and dynamic.
−Removed: Unlike in a passive, static environment, humans
−Removed: dynamically change their motion, force, and immediate purpose throughout a procedure.
−Removed: These changes can be caused by something as simple
−Removed: as physiologic movement (e.g., a patient breathing during surgery), or as complex as the motions of a surgeon suturing during surgery.
−Removed: During physical interaction with a robot, the human is an integral part of a closed-loop feedback system, simultaneously exchanging information
−Removed: and energy with the robotic system, and thus cannot simply be thought of as an external system input002E
−Removed: In addition, the loop is often closed with both
−Removed: human force and visual feedback, each with its own errors and delays that can potentially cause challenges in a human-robot system.
−Removed: these problems, how does one guarantee safe, collaborative and useful physical interaction between robots and humans?
−Removed: To date, no existing
−Removed: systems provide the user with an ideal experience of physically interacting with a robot.
−Removed: Device design and control are essential to the
−Removed: operation of all medical and health robots, since they interact physically with their environment.
−Removed: Accordingly, one of the most important technical
−Removed: challenges is in the area of mechanisms.
−Removed: Miniaturization is challenging in large part because current electromechanical actuators (the
−Removed: standard because of their desirable controllability and power to weight ratio) are relatively large.
−Removed: Biological analogs (e.g., human muscles)
−Removed: are far superior to engineered systems in terms of compactness, energy efficiency, low impedance, and high force output.
−Removed: Interestingly,
−Removed: these biological systems often combine “mechanisms” and “actuation” into an integrated, inseparable system.
−Removed: for systems that achieve high dexterity at any scale will naturally differ greatly depending on the medical application (e.g.
−Removed: rehabilitation, and prosthetics).
−Removed: We are focusing on truly innovative technology
−Removed: that is in line with current applications, but delivers an innovative approach.
−Removed: We are integrating image-guidance with navigation, AI,
−Removed: and organ-targeting to bring a system that is truly diverse and multi-dimensional.
−Removed: Having identified limitations in the predominantly
−Removed: non-autonomous robotic systems, we propose a disruptive model, which considers design and development through a seamless collaboration
−Removed: of the surgeon, the engineer and the scientist.
−Removed: The core of the design and engineering of our
−Removed: medical robotic system is the AI-driven robotic arm navigation and guidance software which permits the system to autonomously guide a
−Removed: medical, surgical grade robotic arm and end-effector for safer and more effective treatment of patients.
−Removed: Our initial medical robotic system
−Removed: is designed to perform minimally invasive, surgical facial corrections using a micro-needling device for skin resurfacing.
−Removed: quickly follow this up with a laser end-effector, a tool useable for various skin resurfacing procedures.
−Removed: This modular approach should
−Removed: allow us to quickly adopt future technologies and instruments with only minor adaptations to the end-effectors and surgical tools approved
−Removed: The key technology in our system is the Avra Intelligent
−Removed: Instrument Guidance Software (“ AIIGS ”), an image-guided robotic guidance system that receives real-time 3D images,
−Removed: live sensor inputs from various subsystems to calculate precise orientation of the arm and end-effector over the patient in real-time
−Removed: during a procedure, ultimately allowing precision delivery of treatment to any area of the human body that is beyond the capabilities
−Removed: of a human being, and which should allow for more optimal and consistent treatments.
−Removed: The various image capture and sensor subsystems are
−Removed: outlined below and include, 2D image capture, 3D image capture and tracking, distance sensors, and touch sensors.
−Removed: We expect the AIIGS
−Removed: capability should then be relatively easily employed to support other surgical procedures beyond skin resurfacing, such as skin and wound
−Removed: care, drug delivery, tattoo removal, cellulite reduction, biopsies and Mohs surgery, to name a few.
−Removed: In the case of facial micro-needling, through
−Removed: our proprietary intuitive graphic user interface, the doctor will be able to acquire a high-resolution depth map of the patient’s
−Removed: face and superimpose a trajectory map over Aesthetic Regions-of-Interest (“ AROIs ”).
−Removed: The doctor would then accept the
−Removed: suggested treatment protocol or assign specific micro-needling parameters to each AROI.
−Removed: AIIGS will autonomously control the arm and end-effector
−Removed: to follow a predetermined path based on the doctor’s specified parameters for each AROI, and continuously calculate the current
−Removed: and desired position over the sequential AROIs to ensure the precise treatment parameters are met.
−Removed: It will also reorient the end-effector
−Removed: so it is perpendicular to each AROI to ensure optimal application of micro-needling injection, and with the precise pressure needed, accounting
−Removed: for patient movement in real-time.
−Removed: Our medical robotic subsystems modules are outlined
−Removed: Areas of continuous development work include AI, DL, and medical robotic safety guidelines.
−Removed: While we plan to continue to develop our own custom
−Removed: robotic arm we are using an existing robotic arm that has been specifically developed under medical device standards and that meets all
−Removed: of our requirements for a robotic arm.
−Removed: The robot is classified as a lightweight robot and is a jointed-arm robot with seven axes.
−Removed: drive units and current-carrying cables are routed inside the robot.
−Removed: Every axis contains multiple sensors that provide signals for robot
−Removed: control (e.g.
−Removed: position control and impedance control) and that are also used as a protective function for the robot.
−Removed: Every axis is monitored
−Removed: axis range sensors ensure that the permissible axis range is adhered to, torque sensors ensure that the permissible axis loads
−Removed: are not exceeded, and temperature sensors monitor the thermal limit values of the electronics.
−Removed: Our medical robotic system requires high levels
−Removed: of accuracy and repeatability.
−Removed: Repeatability is a measure of the ability of the robot to consistently reach a specified point in 3D space
−Removed: Accuracy is a measure of the distance error between the commanded point and the achieved point.
−Removed: Accuracy can be improved with
−Removed: external sensing, for example proximity, vision system or infra-red.
−Removed: For skin resurfacing, technological improvements
−Removed: in motors, materials and in high resolution imaging allow for the use of robotic devices to assist the surgeon to autonomously treat damaged
−Removed: Presently, we are not aware of any commercially available robotic devices designed for this application.
−Removed: Application of Artificial Intelligence and
−Removed: Deep Learning
−Removed: Artificial intelligence, or AI, refers to software
−Removed: technologies that make a robot or computer act and think like a human.
−Removed: Some software engineers state that it is only artificial intelligence
−Removed: if it performs as well or better than a human.
−Removed: In this context, when we talk about performance, we mean human computational accuracy,
−Removed: speed, and capacity.
−Removed: Artificial intelligence includes the development
−Removed: of computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
−Removed: Speech recognition, decision-making, visual perception,
−Removed: for example, are features of human intelligence that artificial intelligence may possess.
−Removed: Translation between languages is another feature.
−Removed: Humans can “ learn as we go along .”
−Removed: In other words, learn from experience.
−Removed: Machines with AI can also do this, which we call machine learning.
−Removed: A neural network is an example
−Removed: of machine learning.
−Removed: A broad definition of a Deep Learning (“ DL ”)
−Removed: solution is the implementation of algorithms and techniques that endow machines with the ability to autonomously acquire the skills for
−Removed: executing complex tasks effectively letting robots acquire their own skills over time.
−Removed: The term “ learning ” can be
−Removed: equated to an optimization process.
−Removed: Optimizing an objective that reflects the actual fitness of the behavior at accomplishing a specific
−Removed: task, such as a robot learning optimal trajectory, where the objective is to traverse a predetermined trajectory in a timely, safe and
−Removed: efficient manner.
−Removed: Telling our AIIGS system to find the optimal trajectory is a very high-level objective.
−Removed: This cannot be implemented with
−Removed: simple, static equations that control the robotic arm and end-effector, but with a reinforcement-learning algorithm we can discover the
−Removed: behavioral skills that optimize the goal.
−Removed: We will need to choose a “ representation ” for a behavioral skill.
−Removed: A representation could be a trajectory, a sequence
−Removed: of points, a motion.
−Removed: The robot could traverse to a specific point, but will do so from its current pose.
−Removed: What if you ask it to go to the
−Removed: same point from a different starting pose?
−Removed: The same sequence will not work.
−Removed: It needs to be more flexible to control a more complex movement.
−Removed: This could be in the form of a feedback controller where it looks at the state, applies a function and outputs the action.
−Removed: The more flexible
−Removed: the representation, the greater number of skills can be learned as it relates to a real-world environment.
−Removed: One choice for a general, flexible representation
−Removed: is a Large Neural Network (“ LNN ”) that can represent any function;
−Removed: therefore, they can represent any motor skill.
−Removed: needs more prior knowledge in order to learn.
−Removed: This is where sensor feedback is used and integrated.
−Removed: These can be cameras, tactile sensors,
−Removed: joint encoders that feed into the LNN, reducing the need to engineer specific perceptions and actions for any input modality.
−Removed: For non-embodied systems such as image processing
−Removed: and speech processing, machine learning has been used and is very successful.
−Removed: This is primarily due to having good supervision.
−Removed: is very successful when you know what the output should be for a given input.
−Removed: Deep Learning is a typical machine learning method
−Removed: which we intend to use extensively for the perception and intelligent control of our medical robotic system.
−Removed: We intend to apply a DL approach
−Removed: to detect and recognize facial features and use this information to optimally map, code and plan a trajectory over the individual AROIs
−Removed: virtually superimposed over a patient’s face.
−Removed: This is accomplished through “ feature ” learning.
−Removed: In machine learning
−Removed: and pattern recognition, a feature is an individual measurable property or characteristic of a phenomenon being observed.
−Removed: Choosing informative,
−Removed: discriminating and independent features is a crucial step for effective algorithms in pattern recognition, classification and regression.
−Removed: DL is typically classified into three categories:
−Removed: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
−Removed: learning, the most common form of machine learning, where the error is measured between the actual and desired output and assigned a
−Removed: cost function with the goal being to minimize the cost.
−Removed: Supervised learning can be directly applied to the trajectory the arm and end-effector
−Removed: follows to arrive at a specific AROI.
−Removed: Accumulated data will be analyzed and used in future path trajectories.
−Removed: ● Unsupervised
−Removed: learning does not assign a cost function, but instead aims to find the hidden patterns, structures or features embedded in the collected
−Removed: Unsupervised learning can be applied to the specific sequence of movements the arm and end-effector traverses to arrive at a specific
−Removed: AROI at the proper orientation and at the proper pressure.
−Removed: This varies with each patient’s skin type as well as the curvature and
−Removed: location on the face.
−Removed: For example, prior to firing the needles the micro-needling instrument must approach at a perpendicular angle to
−Removed: the specific AROI and make even and consistent contact with the patient’s skin.
−Removed: Our AIIGS will accumulate this information and
−Removed: apply it to future procedures.
−Removed: reinforcement learning, a software agent is defined to explore and exploit the space of possible strategies.
−Removed: Feedback in the form of
−Removed: reward or cost from the dynamic environment is referred as the outcome of the chosen action.
−Removed: With our medical robotic system, some examples
−Removed: of functionality where DL will be employed are:
−Removed: trajectory of the arm and end-effector based on the size and shape of the patient’s head and face;
−Removed: arm manipulation as it traverses the trajectory;
−Removed: and safe arm movements;
−Removed: approach attitude of the micro-needling instrument as it approaches various topographical sections of the patient’s face;
−Removed: treatment protocols such as depth, energy, time for micro-needling for specific skin types and for each AROI.
−Removed: Product Description
−Removed: There are five key elements to our medical robotic
−Removed: system, all of which can potentially generate revenues:
−Removed: Standardized robotic arms, precision guidance system, and software controls designed to the needs of doctors and physicians.
−Removed: This includes elements of AI, DL and related algorithms which may have applications to other fields of work beyond medical and may be
−Removed: licensed out in the future.
−Removed: Standardized tools that can be modified to cover a wide range of medical procedures.
−Removed: Avra plans to sell its robotic systems
−Removed: while obtaining recurring revenues and high gross margins from its tools, which will need to be replaced, just as they are in the handheld
−Removed: versions, for each individual procedure.
−Removed: ● Maintenance:
−Removed: Service contracts supporting ongoing operation and simplified so that much of the support can be performed remotely.
−Removed: and Training:
−Removed: Remote and on-site training programs for surgeons, aestheticians, hospitals and medical support staff.
−Removed: Updates to both the software and algorithms.
−Removed: Regulatory Strategy
−Removed: Our products and operations will be subject to
−Removed: extensive regulation in the U.S.
−Removed: by the FDA and by similar agencies in other countries or regions in which we may market our medical robotic
−Removed: In order to smooth our market entry a comprehensive regulatory strategy has been devised where we create robust preclinical and
−Removed: clinical data supporting our product’s claims and proving the Avra Medical Robotic Arm is safe and will perform as intended.
−Removed: plan to employ four tiers of tightly interrelated activities.
−Removed: The specific undertaking in each of the tiers will be coordinated in advance
−Removed: with each regulatory jurisdiction where we intend to offer the product line for sale (the U.S., Canada, the European Union, Brazil, Japan
−Removed: and Australia).
−Removed: The four tiers are:
−Removed: Preclinical testing of the system
−Removed: (the controller, the computer, the arm and the end-effector.) Preclinical testing encompasses testing without using the device on human
−Removed: Key facets of preclinical testing are electrical safety, EMC and EMI testing;
−Removed: integration testing of the system elements and
−Removed: the development of a clinical training program.
−Removed: Software involves all elements of
−Removed: the arm’s operations.
−Removed: The documentation required to demonstrate safety and effectiveness is comprehensive.
−Removed: Each task within a process
−Removed: is mapped and controlled.
−Removed: A risk matrix is established to guide the software development and also to play the pivotal role in verification,
−Removed: validation and testing.
−Removed: Proof of concept testing follows
−Removed: preclinical and software.
−Removed: In proof of concept we demonstrate the arm and its end-effector operation and that even someone with little
−Removed: robotic experience can successfully use the arm within the indications for use and for the purposes intended.
−Removed: A three-stage demonstration
−Removed: will be undertaken first on animals of various sizes and weights;
−Removed: then on human cadavers of various sizes and weights and finally on a
−Removed: small cohort of human subjects.
−Removed: Each stage must be successfully completed before the next stage is undertaken.
−Removed: The final stage (human
−Removed: proof of concept testing) will be under the supervision of an Institutional Review Board (“ IRB ”) or similar ethics
−Removed: The strength of our testing to date
−Removed: has two aims — address all aspects of risk and second to minimize the size and expense of a human clinical trial.
−Removed: It is our belief
−Removed: that any remaining element of risk or uncertainty will only require a small sample size (50 or less).
−Removed: Regardless of the sample size the
−Removed: human clinical trial shall have a performance endpoint and a safety endpoint that will serve as milestones to measure the outcome.
−Removed: To support our ongoing compliance the company
−Removed: plans to become registered to the requirements of EN ISO 13485, the U.S.FDA QSR, ANVISA from Brazil, TGA from Australia, Health Canada,
−Removed: Japanese MHLW and CE Marking under new Medical Device Regulations.
−Removed: To achieve this with minimal expense, we plan to use a Medical Device
−Removed: Single Audit Program (“ MDSAP ”) Auditing Organization that is also a European Notified Body.
−Removed: Unless an exemption applies, each medical device
−Removed: that we intend to market in the U.S.
−Removed: must first receive either “ 510(k) clearance ” or “ Premarket (PMA) approval ”
−Removed: from the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
−Removed: The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from four to
−Removed: 12 months, but it can last longer.
−Removed: The process of obtaining PMA approval can be more costly, lengthy and uncertain.
−Removed: It generally takes
−Removed: from one to three years or even longer.
−Removed: The FDA decides whether a device must undergo
−Removed: either the 510(k) clearance or PMA approval process based upon statutory criteria.
−Removed: These criteria include the level of risk that the agency
−Removed: perceives is associated with the device and a determination whether the product is similar to devices that are already legally marketed.
−Removed: Devices deemed to pose relatively less risk are placed in either class I or II, which requires the manufacturer to request 510(k) clearance,
−Removed: unless an exemption applies.
−Removed: The manufacturer must demonstrate that the proposed device is “ substantially equivalent ”
−Removed: in intended use, safety and effectiveness to a legally marketed “ predicate device ” that is either in class I, class
−Removed: II, or is a “ pre-amendment ” class III device, one that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, for which
−Removed: the FDA has not yet called for submission of a PMA application.
−Removed: After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification to the device
−Removed: that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, requires a new
−Removed: 510(k) clearance or could require a PMA approval.
−Removed: Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest
−Removed: risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device,
−Removed: are placed in class III.
−Removed: Such devices are required to undergo the PMA approval process in which the manufacturer must prove the safety
−Removed: and effectiveness of the device to the FDA’s satisfaction.
−Removed: PMA application must provide preclinical and clinical
−Removed: trial data as well as information about the device and its components regarding, among other things, device design, manufacturing and
−Removed: As part of the PMA review, the FDA will inspect the manufacturer’s facilities for compliance with cGMP and QSR requirements,
−Removed: which include elaborate testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures.
−Removed: During the FDA’s review, an FDA
−Removed: advisory committee, typically a panel of clinicians, likely will be convened to review the application and recommend to the FDA whether,
−Removed: or upon what conditions, the device should be approved.
−Removed: Although the FDA is not bound by the advisory panel decision, the panel’s
−Removed: recommendation is important to the FDA’s overall decision-making process.
−Removed: If the FDA’s evaluation of the PMA application is
−Removed: favorable, the FDA typically issues an “approvable letter” requiring the applicant’s agreement to comply with specific
−Removed: conditions or to supply specific additional data or information in order to secure final PMA approval.
−Removed: Once the approvable letter conditions are satisfied,
−Removed: the FDA will issue a PMA order for the approved indications, which can be more limited than those originally sought by the manufacturer.
−Removed: The PMA order can include post-approval conditions that the FDA believes necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device
−Removed: including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution.
−Removed: Failure to comply with the conditions of approval
−Removed: can result in an enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
−Removed: After approval of a PMA, a new PMA or PMA supplement may be
−Removed: required in the event of modifications to the device, its labeling or its manufacturing process.
−Removed: A clinical trial may be required to support a
−Removed: 510(k) submission and generally is required for a PMA application.
−Removed: Such trials generally require an Investigational Device Exemption,
−Removed: or IDE, application be approved in advance by the FDA for a specified number of patients and study sites, unless the product is deemed
−Removed: an insignificant risk device eligible for more abbreviated IDE requirements.
−Removed: The IDE must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal
−Removed: and laboratory testing results.
−Removed: Clinical trials may begin if the FDA and the appropriate institutional review boards at the clinical trial
−Removed: sites approve the IDE.
−Removed: Trials must be conducted in conformance with FDA regulations and institutional review board requirements.
−Removed: In order for us to market our products in other
−Removed: countries, we must obtain regulatory approvals and comply with safety and quality regulations in those countries.
−Removed: These regulations, including
−Removed: the requirements for approval or clearance and the time required for regulatory review, vary from country to country.
−Removed: To expedite securing approvals to market, we initially
−Removed: retained the services of HPG, a consulting firm experienced in securing U.S.
−Removed: and foreign approvals to market medical devices.
−Removed: and filed an application with the FDA for our initial medical robotic system and participated in the initial pre-collaboration meeting
−Removed: with the FDA in August 2019.
−Removed: This is the first of a series of meetings where the Avra system and its regulatory requirements will be discussed
−Removed: in ever-increasing specificity.
−Removed: We believe that this should allow us to closely focus on only the meaningful activities saving both resources
−Removed: The robotic arm we will utilize for our system has already been approved in the EU and received a CE mark.
−Removed: The Company has begun
−Removed: implementing a quality and regulatory system that will serve as the foundation for U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, Japanese, and
−Removed: Brazilian market access for our medical robotic system.
−Removed: The Medical Device Single Audit Program, which we are employing, is a single inspection
−Removed: that, when completed, is expected to support market access to these six most important medical device marketplaces.
−Removed: Our regulatory strategy has been designed so that
−Removed: once the first treatment is approved then following treatments, such as those using lasers, should enjoy a much quicker time to approval.
−Removed: Our expected timeline may change depending on available resources and FDA response times.
−Removed: We plan to be registered via the MDSAP in accordance
−Removed: with the requirements of the U.S.
−Removed: FDA, Health Canada, Australian TGA, MHLW Japan, ANVISA of Brazil and the EU Medical Device Regulation,
−Removed: and plan to have completed integration testing for the system (controller, computer, arm, cabling, end-effector and the software) for
−Removed: at least two medical systems within two years of receipt of required funding.
−Removed: Depending upon the terms of our agreement with
−Removed: the FDA on the need for and depth of proof of concept and clinical trial testing we believe that we should have completed the proof of
−Removed: concept and human clinical trial portion within one year of our agreement with them.
−Removed: We would then hold market clearances for our robotic
−Removed: system from the U.S.
−Removed: FDA, Health Canada, and CE Marking under the European Medical Directive.
−Removed: At around the same time, we believe that
−Removed: we will have made substantial progress toward market clearances in Australia, Japan and Brazil.
−Removed: Manufacturing and Sources of Supply
−Removed: We plan to initially assemble our systems in our
−Removed: own facilities and will only begin using contract manufacturers when the volume of systems being sold becomes sufficiently large to justify
−Removed: Most of the components used in our initial medical robotic system consist of existing hardware technologies relatively easily
−Removed: available from multiple sources.
−Removed: We will then make any required modifications to allow them to be assembled on site.
−Removed: Recent advances in
−Removed: such manufacturing techniques as 3D printing should allow us to do so relatively quickly.
−Removed: The software integration into our initial medical
−Removed: robotic system, calibration and testing is expected to be done on site as well.
−Removed: We have already identified potential manufacturers for
−Removed: the modified end-effectors, such as the microneedling tool, and other components we will integrate into the system.
−Removed: Intellectual Property
−Removed: Our proprietary software and algorithms are expected
−Removed: to be one of the greatest value drivers for the Company.
−Removed: The software and AI links all our robotic system’s various sensors, systems
−Removed: and tools and allows them to work seamlessly together to complete procedures autonomously given the treatment parameters provided by the
−Removed: To date, we have submitted six provisional patents
−Removed: which, upon further review internally with our IP counsel, were subsequently combined into one (1) international utility patent application.
−Removed: This consolidation brought together the various parts of our AIIGS.
−Removed: In addition, it included broad device claims involving the combination
−Removed: of a navigation system, sensors, a variety of end-effectors, and the robotic arm.
−Removed: The national stages of the international patent application
−Removed: were then submitted in the U.S.
−Removed: in July 2018 and in Brazil in December 2018.
−Removed: In April 2018, we also submitted a U.S.
−Removed: design patent application,
−Removed: specifically applied to the robotic arm segment housing.
−Removed: This design patent application was subsequently filed in Canada in October 2019.
−Removed: We intend to continue filing, as necessary, patent
−Removed: applications in the U.S., as well as in other jurisdictions where we intend to market our products and where the dates of our initial
−Removed: patent applications will give us a right of priority.
−Removed: We also expect to accumulate a tremendous amount
−Removed: of data as needed for its AI and DL systems.
−Removed: This should result in continuous improvements in patient outcomes.
−Removed: This proprietary data
−Removed: should not only be of value to Avra, but may also be of value to third parties in the aesthetics world.
−Removed: Research Partnership with UCF
−Removed: Effective as of May 2016, we entered into a Research
−Removed: Agreement with UCF (the “ Research Agreement ”) establishing a research partnership for the development of a prototype
−Removed: surgical robotic device supporting minimal invasive surgical facial corrections.
−Removed: Pursuant to the Research Agreement, UCF provided personnel
−Removed: for the development of prototype navigation and control software for the robotic medical device and the integration of all the necessary
−Removed: subcomponents.
−Removed: UCF engineering doctoral students under the direction of Professor of Electrical Engineering Zhihua Qu assisted Avra with
−Removed: its research and development efforts in autonomous medical robotics pursuant to the Research Agreement, which was extended several times
−Removed: and finally expired in April 2021.
−Removed: We provided funding of $163,307 for the project, which was supplemented by a $68,952 matching funds
−Removed: grant from the Florida High Tech Corridor Council.
−Removed: In addition, Avra paid UCF $43,548 for outright ownership of work developed by UCF
−Removed: in the collaboration.
−Removed: The development and commercialization of medical
−Removed: devices is highly competitive.
−Removed: We will compete with a variety of multinational companies and specialized medical device companies, as
−Removed: well as technology being developed at universities and other research institutions.
−Removed: As our technology would replace current handheld
−Removed: solutions, our natural competition would be existing manufacturers of those handheld devices such as Hologic’s Cynosure, Syneron
−Removed: Medical, and Lumenis.
−Removed: The current aesthetics device market is fragmented with no single company dominating the sector, particularly in
−Removed: the laser and micro-needling segments.
−Removed: Based on our research and communications with the FDA, we are not currently aware of any companies
−Removed: developing an autonomous robotic approach to aesthetics procedures.
−Removed: As our strategy includes building a robotic platform
−Removed: system that would work with any handheld device, we are not tied to any particular treatment or device and could potentially partner with
−Removed: manufacturers of any particular end-effector technology versus competing with them.
−Removed: This strategy also ensures that our aesthetics solutions
−Removed: never become outdated as we would only need to adapt emerging end-effector instrumentation and technology to our robotic system.
−Removed: As of the date of this report the Company has
−Removed: four full-time and six part-time employees, including certain executive officers.
−Removed: We also rely on independent third-party consultants
−Removed: to perform additional services as needed.
−Removed: As we implement our business plan and subject to the availability of capital, additional employees
−Removed: will be hired to meet the needs of our growth.
−Removed: We currently have agreements with several individuals, particularly in the software, artificial
−Removed: intelligence and engineering disciplines, who are currently working on a part-time basis, but will become full-time Avra employees upon
