About this study

Official title: To Confirm the Safety and Performance of the Signia™ Stapling System Using Signia™ Intelligent Loading Units With Tri-Staple™ 2.0 Intelligent Reloads in Abdominal and Thoracic Procedures.

The objectives of this prospective, two-arm, multicenter post-market study is to confirm safety and performance through the incidence of subjects reporting serious adverse device effects (ADEs) up to and including 30 days following use of Signia™ Stapling System with Endo GIA™ with Tri-Staple™ Technology and Tri-Staple™ 2.0 Intelligent Reloads in subjects undergoing indicated abdominal or thoracic procedures for resection, transection and creation of anastomosis per the IFU.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the use of Signia™ Stapling System using Signia™ Intelligent Loading Units with Tri-Staple™ 2.0 Intelligent Reloads in indicated abdominal or thoracic procedures (e.g., resection, transection of tissue, and creation of anastomoses). Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be considered for study participation at a minimum of 10 sites and will be followed up to and including 30 days post-operative. Overall the study is estimated to progress for up to 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary Endpoint is the Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs), Including Intra- and Post-operative Leaks.

    The primary endpoint is the number of subjects reporting serious adverse device effects (SADEs) up to and including 30 days, including intra- and post-operative leaks. A Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) is an adverse event related to the use of an investigational medical device, that is deemed serious in nature. To be deemed serious, and adverse event must meet one or more of the following criteria:

    Led to a death, b. Led to a serious deterioration in the health of the subject, that either resulted in:

    1. Resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, or
    2. Resulted in a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or
    3. In-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or
    4. Medical or surgical intervention to prevent life threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function, or c. Led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 days intra- and post-operative.

  2. The Primary Endpoint is the Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs), Including Intra- and Post-operative Leaks.

    The primary endpoint is the number of subjects reporting serious adverse device effects (SADEs), including intra- and post-operative leaks up to and including 30 (+14) days post-procedure. A Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) is an adverse event related to the use of an investigational medical device, that is deemed serious in nature. To be deemed serious, and adverse event must meet one or more of the following criteria:

    Led to a death, b. Led to a serious deterioration in the health of the subject, that either resulted in:

    1. Resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, or
    2. Resulted in a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or
    3. In-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or
    4. Medical or surgical intervention to prevent life threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function, or c. Led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-procedure.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The Secondary Endpoint is Device Deficiencies/Malfunctions Affecting the Intended Performance of the Device.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiencies/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device. All recorded device deficiencies/malfunctions were captured and assessed by the Investigator. A Device Deficiency is defined as inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety or performance.

    Note: Device deficiencies include malfunctions, use errors, and inadequate labeling.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  2. The Secondary Endpoint is the Intra-operative Staple Line Assessment Assessing: Staple Line Integrity (B Formation).

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. B formation is defined as consistent formation of the staple-line fired by the Signia Stapling System handle.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  3. The Secondary Endpoint is the Intra-operative Staple Line Assessment Assessing: Number of Staple-line Bleeding (Measured as > 50 cc) Occurrences.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Number of staple-line bleeding (measured as > 50 cc) refers to occurrences of bleeding at the staple-line only, and not in the study procedure as a whole.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  4. The Secondary Endpoint is the Intra-operative Staple Line Assessment Assessing: Additional Interventions to Treat Staple-line Failure.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Examples of additional interventions to treat staple-line failure include: glue, manual over sew, Medtronic buttress as additional reinforcement, or intraoperative revision/recreation of the anastomosis.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  5. The Secondary Endpoint is the Intra-operative Staple Line Assessment Assessing: Number of Intra-operative Leakage.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Number of intra-operative leakage as measured by air leak test performed by the surgeon, or standard of care, as applicable.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  6. The Secondary Endpoint is the Post-operative Surgical Site Assessment Assessing: Number of Post-operative Leakage.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Number of post-operative leakage as evidenced confirmed by imaging, subject presentation or decline in status, or need for re-operation/re-intervention.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  7. The Secondary Endpoint is the Post-operative Surgical Site Assessment Assessing: Duration of Air Leakage >7 Days.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Prolonged air leaks are considered >7 days in duration.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  8. The Secondary Endpoint is the Post-operative Surgical Site Assessment Assessing: Number of Post-operative Infection.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Number of post-operative infection was assessed by the Investigator according to the standard of care and site policy, ex. Positive wound culture.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  9. The Secondary Endpoint is the Post-operative Surgical Site Assessment Assessing: Additional Interventions to Treat Staple-line Failure.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. Examples of additional interventions to treat staple-line failure include: glue, manual over sew, Medtronic buttress as additional reinforcement, or intraoperative revision/recreation of the anastomosis.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.

  10. The Secondary Endpoint is the Post-operative Surgical Site Assessment Assessing: Number of Repeat Hospital Admissions for Primary Procedure-related Complications.

    The secondary endpoint is device deficiency/malfunctions affecting the intended performance of the device including: intra- and post-operative staple line assessments. The number of repeat hospital admissions for primary procedure-related complications was assessed.

    Measured: Up to and including 30 (+14) days post-operative.
