What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HARMONIC 700 ShearsDevice
There is no intervention, beyond necessary clinical care, in this study. HARMONIC 700 Shears for vessel transection were used according to instructions for use.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pediatric; Adult Surgical Procedures (HARMONIC 700 Shears) | This prospective study will involve collection of clinical data in a post-market setting from pediatric surgical procedures (general) and adult surgical procedures (general, gynecological, urological, and thoracic surgical procedures). Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the HARMONIC 700 Shears instruction for use (IFU). All subjects enrolled will be followed post-operatively through discharge and again at approximately 28 days post-surgery. Receives: Device: HARMONIC 700 Shears |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Vessel Transections With an Achievement of Grade 3 or Lower Hemostasis
Number of vessel transection with achievement of Grade 3 or lower hemostasis for each vessel transection will be reported as per the grading scale as follows- Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site; Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed; Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of compression, basic energy devices (monopolar and/or bipolar) and/or touch-ups with HARMONIC 700 Shears; Grade 4: significant bleeding (for example [e.g.], pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with use of additional hemostatic measures.
Measured: Intraoperative
Number of Participants with Device-Related Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, regardless of its relationship to the study device or the study procedure. An untoward medical occurrence includes any new, undesirable medical experience or worsening of a pre-existing condition, which occurs throughout the duration of the clinical study.
Measured: Up to approximately 1 year and 7 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Number of Vessel Transections With an Achievement of Grade 3 or Lower Hemostasis for Each Vessel Transection of Diameter Greater Than (>) 5 to 7 Millimeter (mm)
Number of vessel transections with achievement of Grade 3 or lower hemostasis for each vessel transection of diameter > 5 to 7 mm will be reported as per the grading scale as follows- Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site; Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed; Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of compression, basic energy devices (monopolar and/or bipolar) and/or touch-ups with HARMONIC 700 Shears; Grade 4: significant bleeding (e.g., pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with use of additional hemostatic measures.
Measured: Intraoperative

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?
