This study is an observational study that is not intended to test specific hypotheses.

Read the detailed description

Adiana Post-Approval Clinical Study is a prospective, single armed, multi-center, observational study that is designed to provide additional efficacy and safety data regarding the FDA-approved Adiana Permanent Contraception System. This study will be conducted at 8-10 clinical sites and enroll 1000 subjects. Enrolled subjects will have baseline data collected at the time of their Adiana procedure and will then be followed for a period of 2 years with visits occurring at 3 months following the Adiana procedure, 6 months following Adiana procedure (as applicable), 12 and 24 months post relying date.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pregnancy Rate - for Women Informed They May Rely on the Adiana System for Contraception.

    The primary efficacy endpoints are the one and two year pregnancy rates among women who have hysterosalpingogram (HSG)-proven bilateral occlusion and are informed that they may rely on the Adiana System for contraception.

    Time frame: At one and two years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety Endpoints

    The Adiana System will be evaluated for safety on the basis of the occurrence of adverse events which are related to the study device, unanticipated or serious.

    Time frame: At one and two years
