  • Morbid obesity.

• Any underlying condition that may pose unreasonable risks to the subject, such as:

  • Coagulation abnormalities.
  • Abnormal kidney function.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Has an implantable electrical device [e.g., implantable pacemaker, automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD)] that could potentially be affected by the use of radiofrequency.
• Taking any new medication (< 3 months) that affects urination, or change in the dosage of any medication that affects urination within the past 3 months.
• Medical history of keloid formation, genital fistula, thin recto-vaginal septum (defined as a distance of < 2 cm between the vaginal opening and the anal opening, as measured by a flexible tape measure); or history of fourth-degree laceration, hypertrophic scar formation, or mediolateral episiotomy.
• Active malignancy or undergoing treatment (using chemotherapeutic agents, radiation therapy, and/or cytostatic medications) that may interfere with adequate wound healing response.
• Previous vaginal, energy-based device treatment for vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, or sexual function (e.g., radiofrequency treatment, cosmetic, laser, surgical, and/or genital enhancement procedure).
• Chronic use of anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen, aspirin, and steroids.
• Subject has been in another clinical study within 6 months of screening, or is not willing to abstain from participating in other clinical studies for duration of trial.
