ESS505 Pre-hysterectomy Protocol

Summary

This study has been designed to evaluate an investigational model of the Essure System for Permanent Birth Control. The investigational device is designed to offer all the advantages of the currently approved device. In addition, the investigational device offers immediate, permanent contraception without a three-month waiting period or 90-day confirmation test. This study has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational device in causing tubal occlusion from insert placement through three months of wearing.

Conditions

• Contraception

Interventions

DEVICE

ESS505 (Essure, BAY1454033)

Unilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert inclusive of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505) followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement. At the conclusion of the hysterectomy, the uterine cornua and fallopian tubes were sent to a pathology lab for histological preparation, and subsequent evaluation.

DEVICE

ESS305 (Essure, BAY1454032)

Unilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert inclusive of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505) and contralateral placement of the current commercially approved Essure device, model ESS305 followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement. At the conclusion of the hysterectomy, the uterine cornua and fallopian tubes were sent to a pathology lab for histological preparation, and subsequent evaluation.

DEVICE

ESS505-A (Essure, BAY1454033)

Bilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert with minimal polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505-A) followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement.
