Receives: Device: Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System

What is being measured

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

  1. Device Success

    Successful deployment of the tube in each indicated ear using the TTDS. Evaluated for test cohort subjects only (not lead-in subjects).

    Measured: At procedure visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cross-Over to Manual Myringotomy and Tube Placement

    Conversion of the procedure from Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System to manual myringotomy and tube placement. Evaluated for test cohort subjects only (not lead-in subjects). Decision to convert to a manual myringotomy and tube placement procedure occurs at the conclusion of the Tube Delivery System procedure.

    Measured: at procedure visit

  2. Tube Retention

    Presence of the Tympanostomy Tube across the tympanic membrane at two weeks post-procedure. Evaluated for test cohort subjects only (not lead-in subjects).

    Measured: two weeks post-procedure
