What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Completion rate

    Completion rate is the percentage of users who successfully complete the task without critical errors. A critical error is defined as an error that results in an incorrect or incomplete outcome (Grade 1 and 2). In other words, the completion rate represents the percentage of participants who, when they are finished with the specified task, have an "output" that is correct (Grade 3 - 5). Note: If a participant requires assistance in order to achieve a correct output then the task will be scored as a critical error and the overall completion rate for the task will be affected. A completion rate of 90% is the goal for each task in this usability test.

    Measured: 1 - 4hr (Initial insertion to final withdrawal of the laparoscope)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Performance

    The secondary outcome from the study will be an assessment of the performance of the FloShield 10mm Cannula and Oburator/FloShield System in its ability to defog and clean the laparoscopic lens.

    Measured: 1 - 4hr (Initial insertion to final withdrawal of the laparoscope)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cholecystectomy and Benign Hysterectomy, run by Minimally Invasive Devices, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not meeting primary objective of the study). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Completion rate (time frame: 1 - 4hr (Initial insertion to final withdrawal of the laparoscope)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
