SI-BONE Inc.
Product: iFuse Implant System®

Procedure: Minimally invasive (MIS) sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion (SIJF) for the treatment of lower back pain (LBP)

with a diagnosis of sacroiliac joint disruption or degenerative sacroiliitis. 

Dear Tony Recupero,

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us to help SI-BONE, Inc.access the Latin American market with

its pioneering sacropelvic surgical solutions (the "Products"). With bioaccess™, you will be able to know the

size of SI-BONE's market opportunity in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico; and you will be able to

explore the commercialization of SI-BONE's minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion surgery procedure using

its iFuse Implant System® in these countries.

We will determine the approximate size of SI-BONE's market opportunity in the above countries by a)

searching and analyzing import data of similar products to assess annual import volumes and the

manufacturer-importer transfer prices, and b) searching any available databases and/or conducting face-to-

face interviews to determine the behavior of the disease and surgical procedure of interest.

We look forward to getting started on this exciting new phase for SI-BONE, Inc. in Latin America.

Thank you!

bioaccess™ has been vetted

and selected by the U.S.

Department of Commerce to

be a preferred Healthcare &

Life Sciences Business Service

Provider to help U.S.

companies succeed in

Colombia and the rest of Latin

America.

Read more.

We didn't have much knowledge and expertise in the Latin American

medical device market. We were looking for market access consultancies

to help us enter the Colombian market with the resvent line of respiration

healthcare products. We quickly found that bioaccess' service capabilities

are not present in the traditional regulatory consultancies that operate in

Latin America. bioaccess helped us gather market intelligence, obtain

regulatory market clearance at INVIMA, search, conduct due diligence,

select, and quickly execute a distribution agreement with a reputable

distribution business partner in Colombia. The best thing about bioaccess

is its team of expert market access professionals who have in-depth

knowledge of the Latin American medical device regulatory and

commercial sector. The bioaccess team was professional, helpful, and

delivered the results we were expecting on time. I would easily

recommend bioaccess to foreign manufacturers of medical devices that

are looking for guidance on how to succeed in Latin America.

– Adrian Wong, President & CEO, Intuition Imports, Inc., master distributor for resvent in Latin America.

This decision to engage Interventional Concepts [now bioaccess™] was

made to increase our focus and visibility within South America. It is of the

utmost importance that we partner with distributors that have in uence

and a good track record within the Colombian market. We also need

speedy access to potential clinical trials to ensure we add value with our

product o ering as well as clinically proven outcome. These factors will

lead to faster market entry and closer ties with identi ed Key Opinion

Leaders (KOL's).

– Andre Mouton, Vice President International Sales, and Relations, SANUWAVE Health, Inc.

Goal and Objective

Goal : To know the size of SI-BONE's market

opportunity in Latin America.

Objective : To use primary and secondary sources

to research import prices of competing products

and the annual number of SI joint fusion surgeries

for the treatment of lower back pain (LBP), to know

the size of SI-BONE's market opportunity in Latin

8
America by mid-Q1 2021.

Scope of Work

This o er includes the following activities in relation

to achieving our goal and objective.

Most countries in Latin America don't have centralized claims databases for epidemiological and health

outcomes research (bene ciaries’ encounters with the health care system and receipt of therapeutic

interventions, including medications, procedures, and services). This forces us to rely on the results of an

epidemiological survey/questionnaire (administered at a face-to-face interview) to gather the disease behavior

data we need. The overriding need in an epidemiological survey is to examine a representative sample of

adequate size in a standardized and su ciently valid way. 

We'll focus our research on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico (individually, the "Country", and

collectively, the "Countries"). The following are the activities that we will carry out to reach our goal and

objective:

 Research and analysis of public customs databases to determine historical import data for Medtronic's

Rialto SI Joint Fusion System.

 Research and analysis of public and private databases to determine the epidemiology of the disease of

interest in the Countries (where available): lower back pain with a diagnosis of sacroiliac joint disruption or

degenerative sacroiliitis.

 De nition of the study hypothesis in relation to gathering data about the market for minimally invasive

(MIS) SI joint fusion for the treatment of lower back pain with a diagnosis of sacroiliac joint disruption or

degenerative sacroiliitis.

 Library search.

 Determination of the study sample size.

 De nition and identi cation of the type of individual subjects or groups in the Countries we will want to

interview and make decisions about inclusion and exclusion criteria.

 De nition of the type of interviewee reward and plan for the payment of such.

 Determination of primary and secondary outcomes.

 Development of interview questions.

 Planning and deployment of the invitations to candidate interviewees in the Countries.

 Conduction of face-to-face interviews with in-country experts.

 Data gathering and analysis.

 Final conclusions.

 Reporting of all study ndings.
