4 10330010 |Rev.A
3. CONTRAINDICATIONS
The use of the SkinPen Precision System should not be used on patients who:
• Have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s)
• Have open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s)
• Have an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics
• Have a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction
• Are pregnant or nursing
• Are currently taking drugs with theingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane)
Note: This product is not intended for transdermal (under the skin) delivery of
topical products such as cosmetics, drugs, or biologics.
4. WARNINGS
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be
avoided because itcould result in improper operation. Use ofaccessories other
than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could
result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunityofthisequipmentandresultinimproper operation.
Do not use any equipment not designed specifically for SkinPen
®
Precision as
to avoid interference with the device’sintended performance.
5. PRECAUTIONS
Safety and Effectiveness for setting greater than 1.5 mm has not
been evaluated.
The SkinPen Precision System has not be evaluated in the following patient
populations(i.e.patients withthefollowing conditionsortaking thefollowing
medications): Actinic (solar) keratosis; active acne; collagen vascular diseases or
cardiac abnormalities; diabetes; eczema, psoriasis and other chronic conditions
in the treatment area or on other areas of the body; immunosuppressive
therapy; history of contact dermatitis; raised moles in the treatment area;
rosacea; active bacterial, fungal, orviral (i.e. herpes, warts); keloid scars (a
scar that grows outside of the boundaries of an original scar); patients on
anticoagulants; scars and stretch marks less than one year old; scleroderma;
and wound-healing deficiencies.
PLEASE NOTE: The SkinPen Precision device allows for incremental increase
in settings of up to 2.5 mm to allow for the variabilityin thickness of healthy skin
and acne scar tissue. However,the device has not been clinically evaluated at
cartridge settings of greater than 1.5 mm. As there are fine structures (i.e., nerve
branches andaccompanying blood vessels) that run under the skin and are
essential to proper tissue function, it is not recommended to treat at needle
depths greater than 1.5mm. It is essential that the thickness of the patient’s
skin in each anatomical area to be treated is assessed by a qualified clinician to
address any potential risk of injuring these structures. Such structures include
(but are not limited to)the supra orbitalnerve (the terminal branch of the frontal

10330010|Rev.A 5
nerve that provides the sensory innervations for the skin of the forehead,
mucosa of frontalsinus, and the skin of the upper eyelid) and the temporal,
buccal and marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve (motornerve that
controls facial muscle movement). No adverse events were observed relating
to such structures in the SkinPen Precision clinical study when treating at
needle depth of up to 1.5 mm. Please refer to Bellus provided training module
onsuperficial nerve and vesselfacialanatomy foradditional information.

7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Only use this device for the recommended applications. This device should
only be used under medical supervision.
• Before administering any treatment, you should become acquainted with
the operating procedures for the treatment, as well as the indications,
contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Consult other resources (ie. IFU)
for additional information regarding the application of microneedling therapy.
How to apply BioSheath:
• While wearing non-latex gloves, obtain a single use
BioSheath and ensure the SkinPen
®
Precision is clean/
disinfected.
• While SkinPen
®
Precision is powered off, insert the SkinPen
®
Precision between the white tab and paper backing.
• Push SkinPen
®
Precision through the BioSheath until the
device is snug inside the BioSheath.
• Peel back the protective BioSheath cover by pulling on the
Blue tab and white paper backing.
• Remove adhesive backing and seal end. SkinPen
®
Precision is
now protected and ready to use.

10330010|Rev.A 7
Howto remove the BioSheath and clean the SkinPen PrecisionDevice:
• Hold the SkinPen Precision perpendicular to the floor, or with
the cartridge attachment tip pointing downwards. Use one
hand to remove the cartridge and dispose of the cartridge in
asharpscontainer.
• Continue to hold the SkinPen Precision device perpendicular
to the floor, with the cartridge tip pointed downwards, and
pull apart the adhesive strip of the BioSheath.
• Remove the BioSheath by carefully rolling it down the
SkinPen Precision to prevent soiling the handpiece.
• Dispose of the BioSheath in a biohazard container.
BioSheaths are not intended to be reused.
• Disinfection of the SkinPen Precision should be completed
with the use of Sani-Cloth HB Wipes, See section 9-
Cleaning of SkinPen Precision and Charger Base.
• After removal of the BioSheath and disinfection with Sani-
Cloth HB wipes isperformed, users’ gloves should be
removed, hands cleaned, and a new pair of clean gloves worn
before proceeding to the next patient.
Note: Soiled gloves should always be disposed of in a biohazard container. Do
notreuse disposable gloves.
Note: The purpose of a sheath is to provide a covering that helps prevent the
transmission of pathogens from one patient to another. SkinPen Precision is
intended to be used only with provided BioSheath.
