Inclusion criteria

Pediatric participants * Non-emergent procedure (general) where at least one vessel is planned to be transected by the HARMONIC 700 Shears per the IFU * Less than 18 years of age at the time of procedure * Participant's parent/legal guardian must give permission to participate in the study and provide written informed consent for the participant Adult participants * Elective procedure (general, gynecological, urological, or thoracic) where at least one vessel is planned to be transected by the HARMONIC 700 Shears per the IFU * Elective procedure (general, gynecological, urological, or thoracic) where at least one vessel is planned to be transected by the HARMONIC 700 Shears per the IFU

Exclusion criteria

Preoperative * Physical or psychological condition which would impair study participation * Participants of childbearing potential who are pregnant * Enrollment in a concurrent interventional clinical study that could impact the study endpoints Intraoperative * HARMONIC 700 Shears were not attempted to be used for at least one single vessel transection during the surgical procedure

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Vessel Transections With an Achievement of Grade 3 or Lower HemostasisIntraoperativeNumber 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.
Number of Participants with Device-Related Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 1 year and 7 monthsAn 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
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)IntraoperativeNumber 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.
