PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks and 16 weeks post final treatment

Population: All subjects treated with the Zeltiq System were included in the analysis population.

Safety will be assessed by determination of the number of Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADE) at the 8-week and 16-week post-treatment visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks post final treatment

Population: All subjects treated with the Zeltiq System were included in the analysis population.

Change in the fat layer thickness will be calculated by comparison of pre-treatment and 16 week post-treatment ultrasound measurements taken in the area treated with the device, and in the contralateral untreated control area. The Sponsor's standardized techniques for obtaining ultrasound imaging will be used. Overall fat layer thickness changes were normalized for each subject by subtracting the change in the untreated control from the change in treated area to remove the influence of weight variations. Results indicate the mm of fat layer reduction in the treated area.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks post final treatment

Population: All eligible subjects treated with the Zeltiq System and who maintained weight within protocol requirements were included in the analysis population. Paired photos of each subject were reviewed by 3 independent reviewers to properly identify pre-treatment images.

Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images of the treated areas. Reviewers will be practicing dermatologists or plastic surgeons. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form. Results reflect the proportion of correctly identified images.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Enrollment though 16 weeks post final treatment

Population: All subjects treated with the Zeltiq System were included in the analysis population.

The number of device or procedure-related adverse events will be evaluated. The investigator determines if the Zeltiq CoolSculpting System (device) or the treatment (procedure) are related to all reported adverse events.

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, regardless of whether the event is related to the device. Averse Device Effect is defined as any sign, symptom, or disease in a study subject that occurs during the course of a clinical trial that is determined by the investigator to have a causal relationship or possible causal relationship with the device under investigation.
