Inclusion criteria

* Male or female subjects \>22 years of age and \< 65 years of age. * Subject has clearly visible fat on the abdomen, which in the investigator's opinion, may benefit from the treatment. * Subject is a candidate for a standard CoolSculpting treatment with a CoolMax applicator. * No weight change exceeding 5% of body weight in the preceding month. * Subject agrees to maintain his/her weight (i.e., within 5%) by not making any major changes in their diet or exercise routine during the course of the study. * Subject has read and signed the study written informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

* Subject has had a surgical procedure(s) in the area of intended treatment. * Subject has had an invasive fat reduction procedure (e.g., liposuction, mesotherapy) in the area of intended treatment. * Subject has had a non-invasive fat reduction and/or body contouring procedure in the area of intended treatment within the past 12 months. * Subject needs to administer, or has a known history of subcutaneous injections into the area of intended treatment (e.g., heparin, insulin) within the past month. * Subject has a known history of cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. * Subject has a known history of Raynaud's disease, or any known condition with a response to cold exposure that limits blood flow to the skin. * Subject has a history of bleeding disorder or is taking any medication that in the investigator's opinion may increase the subject's risk of bruising. * Subject is taking or has taken diet pills or supplements within the past month. * Subject has any dermatological conditions, such as moderate to excessive skin laxity, or scars in the location of the treatment sites that may interfere with the treatment or evaluation (stretch marks is not an exclusion). * Subject has an active implanted device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or drug delivery system or any other metal containing implant. * Subject is pregnant or intending to become pregnant during the study period (in the next 5 months). * Subject is lactating or has been lactating in the past 6 months. * Subject has a history of hernia in the areas to be treated. * Subject is unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements. * Subject is currently enrolled in a clinical study of any other unapproved investigational drug or device. * Subject is prone to severe claustrophobia (during MRI scans). * Any other condition or laboratory value that would, in the professional opinion of the investigator, potentially affect the subject's response or the integrity of the data or would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Accurately Identified Pre-treatment Photos12 weeks post treatmentChange 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. Success is defined as at least 70% correct identification of pre-treatment images by two out of three reviewers.
Participants With Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADE)Enrollment through 12 weeks post-treatmentThe number of unanticipated device effects will be tabulated to assess safety of the device and applicator accessory (Crown Cooling Insert). Adverse event data is collected from the time of enrollment through the 12 week follow-up visit.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire12 weeks post-final treatmentSubject satisfaction with the treatment experience data will also be collected via a written questionnaire at the 12-week follow up visits. This questionnaire will be composed of 5-point Likert scale questions, as well as free-text responses. Subjects will be asked to determine overall satisfaction with the treatment. The choices will be: 1) very satisfied; 2) somewhat satisfied; 3) neither satisfied nor unsatisfied; 4) somewhat unsatisfied; 5) very unsatisfied.

Outcome results

Primary

Participants With Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADE)

The number of unanticipated device effects will be tabulated to assess safety of the device and applicator accessory (Crown Cooling Insert). Adverse event data is collected from the time of enrollment through the 12 week follow-up visit.

Time frame: Enrollment through 12 weeks post-treatment

Population: Subjects who received CoolSculpting treatment for reduction of subcutaneous fat in the abdomen were included in the analysis population. Of the 20 subjects enrolled and treated, one subject withdrew prior to study completion.

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.

Success is defined as at least 70% correct identification of pre-treatment images by two out of three reviewers.

Time frame: 12 weeks post treatment

Population: The analysis population consisted of 19 subjects with evaluable images. Six images from each subject's abdomen were reviewed by the independent reviewers.
