Brief summary

Feasibility trial of the InPress Device to treat postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).

Detailed description

10 subjects in first in woman trial with ethics committee oversight. Women who developed postpartum hemorrhage were treated with the InPress Device. The intent of treatment was to quickly reduce or stop blood flow by addressing the driving cause of hemorrhage: uterine atony. The primary objective is to verify the safety of the InPress Device in humans, including: 1. Absence of SAEs related to the use of the InPress Device intra- and post-procedure. 2. Evaluate any observable damage of the uterus, cervix, or vagina due to the use of the InPress Device. 3. Evaluate occurrence of uterine inversion or folding during the use of the InPress Device. The secondary objectives include evaluations of: 1. Ability to easily place the InPress Device transvaginally. 2. Ability to connect the InPress Device to vacuum and maintain desired negative pressure. 3. Ability of InPress Device to contract the uterus to a level that reduces or stops blood loss and avoids further surgical intervention. 4. Evaluate time from insertion and start negative pressure to visible reduction of blood loss.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject or her legally authorized representative is able to understand and provide consent to participate in the clinical investigation * Female adult subjects (\>18 years of age) * Subjects who present with an atonic uterus for at least 10 minutes after expulsion of placement with failure to obtain contraction and/or Subjects who have lost blood post-partum \>= 500 ml and according to the Investigator's judgment, require an intervention.

Exclusion criteria

* Subjects who do not provide informed consent to participate in the clinical investigation. * Subjects who deliver at a uterus size \< 34 weeks. * Subjects who have lost greater than 1000 ml of blood. * Subjects who have abnormal PT, PTT and INR * Subjects who present with retained placenta, uterine lacerations, or for any other conditions outside of atonic post-partum hemorrhage.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to Uterine ContractionDuring the procedureTime to uterine contraction to a level that reduces or stops blood flow. Duration is exactly between 1 and 2 minutes for 1 participant, while the available data only suggests that it was less than 2 minutes for the rest of the participants but the exact duration cannot be narrowed down to 1-2 minutes.
