Sencell Development PRODUCT & TECHNOLOGY A novel implantable sensor for long-term continuous glucose measurement CORPORATE
THE READ-OUT OPTIONS TECHNOLOGY 2
The Challenge Miniaturization Project Lifecare AS is developing an implantable glucose sensor named SENCELL for positioning under the skin into the interstitial space. Starting from a laboratory working cell (5 x 3 x 3 cm), the company has achieved significant miniaturization and has performed preclinical proof-of-concept with a small working sensor model (2 x 1 x 0.5 cm) ? Laboratory Cell Preclinical I Preclinical II Clinical 3 TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGICAL Osmotic pressure measurement offers several major advantages ADVANTAGES Detecting glucose by the principle of osmotic pressure holds promise of a glucose sensing technology that is suitable for both miniaturization and long term continuous monitoring in vivo without causing patient discomfort or reducing quality of life. Low cost operation No additional start-up time No reagent consumption Miniaturization No generation of poisonous by-products Unobtrusive High glucose specificity Implantation by injections/minimal surgery Long term stability Real time continuous operation Universal calibration Wireless communication No internal power supply TECHNOLOGY 4
MACROCELL IN-VITRO Factors influencing the performance time have been identified and characterized through a series of experiments with a novel The underlying principle test cell Sensing chamber height • Viscosity of sensing fluid • Temperature of sensor cell • Performance analysis is measured according to: Response time • Sensitivity • Reproducibility (stable response) • Precipitation • Interfering substances • Toxicology • TECHNOLOGY 5
SENCELL RESULTS IN- Key components selected and tested in macrocell (wired) in-vitro configuration VITRO • Very good active fluid composition with novel recipe • Stable measurements / signals → Measurements in -macro-cell with reproducible results for at least 3 months at RT → At least stable in -vitro at RT for over 3 months and at 37°C for 11 weeks → ConA stable for at least 3 months at 21°C → This new active fluid recipe stable responses can be obtained for 3 months at 21 °C → This is very promising for long -term implantation of ConA- based glucose sensors • Concentration measurements at 37°C show no loss of ConA over 3 months • Amplitudes acceptable. Similar at 37°C • Good understanding of kinetics, and response time → The use of fluidics inputs and outputs gives complex sensor responses on the order of 2 -3 minutes (in both directions) • The evaluation of six potentially interfering molecules revealed no problematic interferences at physiologically relevant concentrations. Potential Specificity of ConA/dextran chemistry sufficient for measurement of glucose in presence of physiologically relevant levels of α -D-mannose, maltose, xylose, transferrin, & fructose. For L-lactate interference detectable for levels reached by intense sportive activities (e.g. Marathon) TECHNOLOGY 6

The mechanical design has been completely re-engineered to allow for 2. Pre -clinical the dual chamber (sensing and reference) Sencell Development ➢ Active Fluid was prepared using an established recipe except for clarification concerning the protocol for adding Dextran ➢ Reference Fluid was equivalent to the Buffer for the Active Fluid without ConA and Dextran ➢ Fluids were de-gassed and added to the Signal and Reference chambers before closing the device and monitoring pressures as the clamping screws were gradually tightened TECHNOLOGY 9
2. Pre -clinical ➢ The pre-clinical pilot study part II was performed from 22/08/-01/09/2016 at the Mfd Facility, Wendelsheim, ➢ Germany Three juvenile German landrace pigs were used for Sencell implantation (two males and one female ) Dexcom 4 Dexcom 6 TECHNOLOGY 10
