Item 7.01. Regulation FD.

On June 3, 2021, Motus GI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the publication of data from the Company’s REDUCE (“Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement”) study in an article titled, “A multicenter, prospective, inpatient feasibility study to evaluate the use of an intra-colonoscopy cleansing device to optimize colon preparation in hospitalized patients: the REDUCE study” in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Gastroenterology. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 3, 2021, the Company announced the publication of data from the Company’s REDUCE (“Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement”) study in an article (the “Article”) titled, “A multicenter, prospective, inpatient feasibility study to evaluate the use of an intra-colonoscopy cleansing device to optimize colon preparation in hospitalized patients: the REDUCE study” in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Gastroenterology.

The Company noted evaluations of the data from its REDUCE study continue to support the Company’s belief that the Pure-Vu System can improve bowel preparation quality in hospitalized subjects undergoing colonoscopy. The Company believes the Article will assist with educating the market on the potential for the Pure-Vu System to enhance patient care while also lowering costs for hospitals and payers.

The Article suggests clarity of last bowel movement may be a useful indicator in predicting poor bowel preparation. However, larger studies powered to evaluate clinical outcomes, hospital costs, and blinded BBPS assessments are required to evaluate the significance of these findings.

The Article covers clinical data from the REDUCE study. The REDUCE study was a multi-center inpatient prospective trial designed to evaluate Pure-Vu® System’s ability to consistently and reliably improve bowel preparation to facilitate a successful colonoscopy in a timely manner in patients who were indicated for a diagnostic colonoscopy. The study enrolled 95 hospitalized patients on schedule regardless of their level of pre-procedural bowel preparation. The primary endpoint for the study was improvement of bowel preparation from baseline to post procedure as assessed by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (“BBPS”), which assesses the cleanliness of each of the three segments of the colon on a 0 to 3 scale and requires a minimum score of 2 or better per segment to be considered adequately prepped.

Topline data from the REDUCE study evaluating the Pure-Vu® System was first announced in May 2019 at Digestive Disease Week® 2019 (“DDW”).
