Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the current clinical investigation is to evaluate a new filter.
Detailed description
The new filter has been developed in order to significantly reduce problems with ballooning and other problems related to filter performance in people with a stoma.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of Ballooning in the Morfeus and SenSura Test Period. | Daily or at every change of bag in a period of a maximum of 28 days | Data will not be recorded at specific time points due to individual changing patterns (1-3 bags per day). Study subjects will fill out the Case Report Form (CRF) by themselves when changing bag. The subject is asked in the CRF among others the reason for changing bag (e.g. ballooning). Subjects will change bag according to their normal routine or when deemed appropriate. They are advised to change bag if it is filled with air and the air cannot be released through the filter within a specified time period. |

Outcome results
Primary
Frequency of Ballooning in the Morfeus and SenSura Test Period.
Data will not be recorded at specific time points due to individual changing patterns (1-3 bags per day). Study subjects will fill out the Case Report Form (CRF) by themselves when changing bag. The subject is asked in the CRF among others the reason for changing bag (e.g. ballooning). Subjects will change bag according to their normal routine or when deemed appropriate. They are advised to change bag if it is filled with air and the air cannot be released through the filter within a specified time period.
Time frame: Daily or at every change of bag in a period of a maximum of 28 days
Population: ITT
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Morfeus (Test Filter) | Frequency of Ballooning in the Morfeus and SenSura Test Period. | 23 percentage of bags |
| SenSura (Reference Filter) | Frequency of Ballooning in the Morfeus and SenSura Test Period. | 11 percentage of bags |
