This device provides small electrical pulses to stimulate production of your own natural tears. The electrical pulses are delivered by a disposable tip attached to the TrueTear device that you will place in your nose for short periods of time. Your provider has determined that the TrueTear device may work for you. Please read this entire guide and discuss your questions with your provider. You can then consider the expected benefits versus the risks and make an informed decision. Facts About Dry Eye Symptoms Dry eye symptoms may include, but are not necessarily limited to, sensitivity to light, grittiness, pain or soreness, blurred vision, and poor vision. Dry eye symptoms may be caused by advanced age, contact lens wear, certain medications, eye diseases, other medical conditions, or environmental factors. In some people, dry eye symptoms may be improved by increasing the amount of tears produced. Indications for Use The TrueTear Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator provides a temporary increase in tear production during neurostimulation to improve dry eye symptoms in adult patients with severe dry eye symptoms. Potential Benefits of the TrueTear Device Use of the TrueTear device will temporarily increase your tear production and improve your dry eye symptoms, though not all patients may respond to this device to the same degree. Potential Complications With Using the TrueTear Device Potential complications include the following:
Nasal pain, discomfort, or burning sensation Short-term electrical discomfort Nosebleeds Trace blood in nostril Nose stuffiness (nasal congestion) Excessive sneezing Irritation or numbness of the nose 4 Infection, scrape (abrasion), sore formation (ulceration) or inflammation inside the nose Irritation or sensitivity inside the nose Lightheadedness Headaches Sinus pain Sore eye Facial pain or pain around the eye Increased saliva production Sensation of teeth vibrating Excessive runny nose Temporary increase in symptoms associated with nasal allergies Allergic reaction to contact materials Potential permanent scarring of the inside of nose with prolonged use Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions CONTRAINDICATIONS Contraindications are situations where it is advisable not to use the TrueTear device.

Close the case. If the case is not closed, the base may not charge properly. 2 3 4 Connect the provided cable and adapter to the case and plug the adapter into an active (120-240V) outlet. The case bottom will glow orange when the device is charging and glow blue when the device is fully charged. Orange glow indicates device is charging Blue glow indicates device is fully charged Charge the base before first use. A fully charged device should last several days. Figure 2. Charging the TrueTear device. 11 STIMULATION INSTRUCTIONS 1 Remove a new disposable tip from the pouch. Figure 3. 12 3 Connect the tip to the base by aligning the post on the underside of the tip with notch on base, then rotate forward until the tip snaps into place, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Align the tab to the notch for setup. The tip only fits one way. 13 There are 5 stimulation intensity levels. The base vibrates briefly when the + or - button is pressed to indicate an increase or decrease in stimulation level. The blue lights will be lit to indicate the stimulation level selected. Your provider will confirm that you understand these instructions, including having you demonstrate the stimulation technique and the tearing response, prior to prescribing the TrueTear device and, if necessary, at subsequent visits:
1 With the TrueTear device fully assembled, hold the + button for 2 seconds to turn on the device. A steady white light will apear on the base indicating that the device is on. as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Turning on the TrueTear device and placing it into the nose. 2. 3. 4. Press the + button to select a desired stimulation intensity level. Blue lights show the level selected. Always start on level 1. Place thumb near buttons of base and gently insert the tip into the nose with the back of the base facing out, as shown in Figure 5. For effective stimulation, insert the tip toward the top and front of the nose, as shown in Figure 6. 14 Always start on level 1. Rest thumb on the + or button. Press + or to change levels if desired. Insert tip into your nose, as far as is comfortable. Figure 6. Target zone for correct insertion of disposable tip. 5. The + button is for increasing the intensity and the button is for decreasing the intensity. You may gradually increase and adjust intensity (using the + and buttons) until you feel a gentle tingling in your nose; this feeling lets you know that you are stimulating the correct tissue location and tears will form. Figure 7. Adjust stimulation by pressing the + or buttons. 15 6 You may reposition the tip inside the nose for desired stimulation. The feeling should be mild at its maximum intensity. 7 Remove the tip from your nose at any time if you feel uncomfortable during stimulation. 8 9 The device turns off automatically after three (3) minutes. You can also turn it off manually by pressing the - button for 2 seconds. The device will vibrate and the lights will turn off to indicate the device is off. Note: You can turn the device off as soon as tears start forming. When finished, clean the TrueTear device with an alcohol wipe, if needed
(see CARING FOR YOUR DEVICE), and store the device in the case provided. Figure 8. Cover attached to base unit to protect disposable tip. 16 RECOMMENDED STIMULATION SCHEDULE Use the TrueTear device at least twice a day, as needed. Stimulation longer than 3 minutes is not recommended, and you should wait for at least 60 minutes before proceeding to the next application. The device has a built-in single-day usage limit of 30 minutes. If this daily limit has been reached, the TrueTear device will turn on and then off immediately. The device will not deliver stimulation. Replace the tip every 28 days with a new tip. When a tip has 7 days of usage left before expiration, the device will vibrate 3 times when the device is turned on or off. If the device is turned on without a tip or with an expired tip, the device will vibrate 3 times but will not deliver stimulation.

Both studies evaluated the devices safety and effectiveness in dry eye patients. Both pivotal studies
(OCUN-009 and OCUN-010) demonstrated the devices capability temporarily to increase tear production during stimulation. OCUN-010 also demonstrated the TrueTear devices capability to improve dry eye symptoms as a result of stimulation. The next section summarizes both pivotal studies. CLINICAL STUDY OCUN-009SINGLE STUDY VISIT
(ONE-TIME USE) This clinical study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the TrueTear device during use at a single study visit. To qualify for enrollment in this study, potential participants were required to be 22 years of age or older and have dry eye symptoms based on the level of dryness in the eye(s) measured on a dry eye symptom scale. Potential participants were excluded from the study if the surface of the cornea had severe irregularities due to dry eye disease; if they had bleeding from the nose or previous sinus surgery or trauma; if they had coagulation problems (bleeding problems), a cardiac demand pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or another implanted electronic device. Potential study participants with disabling arthritis or limited motor coordination were also excluded from participating in the study since these conditions could interfere with use of the TrueTear device. This study was conducted at two sites in the United States, and 48 people were tested. The study population, on average, was 57 years old. The majority of people who participated in the study were female. Each patient in the study underwent three applications of stimulation. On the study day visit, each subject received 3 applications in random order, with the TrueTear device applied correctly, i.e., inside the nose, an inactive TrueTear device applied inside the nose, i.e., no stimulation, and the TrueTear device applied outside of the nose with stimulation. In this study, the TrueTear device used as intended resulted in a large increase in tear production. This is shown in the graph in Figure 13. The average Schirmer score (a standard measurement of Dry Eye that measures tear production) was approximately 25 mm during neurostimulation, compared with approximately 9 mm , i.e., less tear production, for the inactive control application and in people who used the TrueTear device on the outside of the nose, where it would not be effective. 22 40.0 35.0 30.0 25.0 20.0 15.0 10.0 5.0 0.0

There were no adverse events that led to discontinuation from the study. Two adverse events were deemed related to or possibly related to the TrueTear device. These included transient lightheadedness and intermittent nose itching. No changes of nasal tissue were observed with examination of the nasal cavity. CLINICAL STUDY OCUN-0106-MONTH STUDY This study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TrueTear device to increase tear production at multiple time points during the study (Baseline and 7, 30, 90, and 180 days) for patients with dry eye symptoms. Eligibility for enrollment in this study required potential participants to be 22 years of age or older and have Dry Eye based on the level of dryness in the eye(s) measured on a dry eye symptom scale. Potential participants were excluded from the study if the surface of the cornea had severe irregularities due to dry eye disease; if they had bleeding from the nose or previous sinus surgery or trauma; if they had coagulation problems (bleeding problems), a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillators or another implanted electronic device. Potential study participants with disabling arthritis or limited motor coordination were also excluded from participating in the study since these conditions could interfere with use of the TrueTear device. 23 Eligible participants were enrolled in the study and provided with a TrueTear device for home use. Participants were instructed to use the TrueTear device at least two times a day and as often as 10 times per day, as needed, and no more than three minutes per use. Study participants were examined at Baseline and days 7, 30, 90, and 180. Ninety-seven (97) people with dry eye symptoms were enrolled at three sites in the U.S. The study population, on average, was 61 years old, and the majority of people who participated in the study were females. Tear production at Baseline and each follow-up visit including 180 days (6 months) is shown in Figure 11. At 180 days, the study participants used the TrueTear device with active stimulation and then without stimulation to evaluate whether there was a difference in tear production with and without active stimulation. In this study, tear production was much greater with active stimulation than without stimulation. In comparing the stimulated vs unstimulated tear production during the study, following the initial stimulation, there was a trend toward decreased effectiveness (tear production) with time with the use of the TrueTear device; this trend appeared to plateau toward the end of the study. The mechanism for this decrease has not been identified and was not analyzed as part of the study. The average difference in Schirmer score (stimulated vs unstimulated) was 18.0 mm at Baseline (the first day of use), 13.1 mm at day 7, 8.1 mm at day 30, 8.3 mm at day 90, and 9.4 mm at day 180. Figure 11. Acute tear production at day 180. Symptom improvement from the start of the study was assessed at study day 7 and day 30 using a commonly used questionnaire called the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Of the 97 subjects enrolled, 77 had severe dry eye symptoms at the start of the study and were seen following treatment. Of these subjects, between 18 (23%) and 33 (43%) 24 were shown to have meaningful improvement in their symptoms. There were more subjects with severe dry eye symptoms that had a meaningful improvement in symptoms from baseline as measured with the OSDI than the number with meaningful worsening of symptoms at day 7 and at day 30. Safety and effectiveness of intranasal electrical stimulation was evaluated over a 6-month period of time. The safety and effectiveness of the TrueTear device for longer periods of use has not been established. In this study, safety was acceptable with no serious adverse events that were largely nasal in nature. The types and percentages for each type of AEs are presented in Table 1. All device-related AEs (mostly mild discomfort or nosebleed) were evident to the patients and therefore self-limiting (with the exception of one case of chapped skin around the nostrils which resolved with over-the-counter medication) since patients could remove the device and discontinue stimulation at any time. The incidence of device-related AEs decreased over the course of the study, with the highest number occurring in the first month. Table 1. Proportion of Study Patients Experiencing Adverse Event Related or Possibly Related to TrueTear Device Adverse Event Description Number of Study Patients

*Some patients had more than one adverse event. The device was applied for an average of 1.7 times per day with an average daily application time of 130 seconds/day (2.16 minutes/day). Subjects applied the device a total of 27,338 times during the study, and the total device application time for the study was 34,726 minutes. Therefore, this small number of device-related mild AEs occurred in a large number of stimulation events.

a. Base b. Case c. USB cable d. AC adapter All images shown in this guide are for referencing only. a. b. c. d. 29 1. Get ready. Plug case into wall outlet. Place the TrueTear base in the case. Close the case to charge. Ensure the base is fully charged before first use. A full charge typically takes less than 4 hours. A steady orange light on the bottom of the case indicates that it is charging. The light will turn blue to indicate that charging is complete. 30 2. Get set. Remove a new disposable tip from the pouch. Align tab on disposable tip with notch on base, and connect. Replace the tip every 28 days with a new tip. Failure to do so will prevent the device from delivering stimulation. 31 3. Activate!
a. Hold the + button on the base for 2 seconds to turn on the device. b. Use the + and buttons to select the desired stimulation level. c. Place thumb near buttons of base, and gently insert the tip into the nose with the back of the base facing out. A steady white light will appear on the base indicating that the device is on. d. For effective stimulation, insert the tip towards the top and front of the nose. Ready 32 f. The device turns off automatically after three (3) minutes. You can also turn it off manually by pressing the - button for 2 seconds. e. Gradually adjust the intensity
(using the + and buttons) until you feel a gentle tingling sensation in your nose. This feeling indicates you are stimulating the correct tissue location and tears will form. Target location The tip may be repositioned in your nose to achieve desired stimulation. Stimulation level There are 5 stimulation levels. The base vibrates briefly and the blue lights indicate an increase or decrease in stimulation level. Consult your Patient Guide for additional information. 33 4. Keep it clean. Wipe base, disposable tip, and case with an alcohol pad after use. Place base in the case to protect the device until your next use. Do not submerge or immerse the base & AC adapter in water or any other liquid. Keep device in a clean, cool, and dry location. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity. 34 Please refer to your Instructions for Use for additional details or call Allergan at 1-866-502-TEAR(8327). 2019 Allergan. All rights reserved.
