About Motus GI and the Pure-Vu® System

Motus GI Holdings, Inc. is a medical technology company, with
subsidiaries in the U.S. and Israel, dedicated to improving clinical
outcomes and enhancing the cost-efficiency of colonoscopy. The Company’s
flagship product is the Pure-Vu® System, a U.S. FDA cleared medical
device indicated to help facilitate the cleaning of a poorly prepared
colon during the colonoscopy procedure. The device integrates with
standard and slim colonoscopes to enable safe and rapid cleansing during
the procedure while preserving established procedural workflow and
techniques. The first generation of the Pure-Vu® System has received CE
mark approval in Europe. The Pure-Vu® System is currently being
introduced on a pilot basis in the U.S. market, and the Company is
planning to initiate a commercial launch focused on the U.S. hospital
market in 2019. Challenges with bowel preparation for inpatient
colonoscopy represent a significant area of unmet need that directly
affects clinical outcomes and increases the cost of care in a market
segment that comprises approximately 1.5 million annual procedures in
the U.S. and approximately 4 million annual procedures worldwide. Motus
GI believes the Pure-Vu® System may improve outcomes and lower costs for
hospitals by reducing the time to successful colonoscopy, minimizing
delayed and incomplete procedures, and improving the quality of an exam.
In clinical studies to date, the Pure-Vu® System significantly increased
the number of patients with an adequate cleansing level, according to
the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale Score, a validated assessment
instrument.
