What is being measured

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

  1. The number of procedures where all critical tasks related to the Eximis CS are performed without serious use error.

    Primary Endpoint

    Measured: Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of procedures successfully completed with use of the Eximis CS device.

    Secondary Endpoint

    Measured: Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months

  2. Number of Capture Bags with breach of containment.

    Secondary Endpoint

    Measured: Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months

  3. The number and severity of user adverse events caused by use error.

    Secondary Endpoint

    Measured: Day of surgery

  4. The number and severity of subject adverse events caused by use error.

    Secondary Endpoint

    Measured: Minimum 30 days (Standard of care follow-up 4-6 weeks)

  5. All other adverse events.

    Secondary Endpoint

    Measured: Minimum 30 days (Standard of care follow-up 4-6 weeks)
