Study summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of LithoVue ureteroscope system in Chinese population.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, pre-market study.The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LithoVue ureteroscope system in Chinese population, to support the regulatory approval by CFDA. The study will enroll 60 patients in 3 investigational sites in China. The primary endpoint is procedure success rate of LithoVue ureteroscope system, the procedure success is defined as:Scope condition is suitable to complete the procedure and not requiring immediate scope substitution; it is also considered as a procedure success if the clinical effect is the same as that from the LithoVue scope per investigator's judgement in the case of a scope change (non-LithoVue).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    LithoVue ureteroscope system

    The LithoVue System is intended to be used to visualize organs, cavities and canals in the urinary tract (urethra, bladder, ureter, calyces and renal papillae) via transurethral or percutaneous access routes. It can also be used in conjunction with endoscopic accessories to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the urinary tract.

    Device: LithoVue Ureteroscope System
