Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is safety. This will be determined by the absence of adverse events associated with the AEGEA-VAPOR treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The performance of the VAPOR system will be measured by: 1. If satisfactory placement of the VAPOR-probe is achieved 2. If placement of the VAPOR probe is maintained throughout vapor delivery 3. If the target intra-uterine pressure can be achieved 4. Absence of clinically significant thermal injury in the cervical canal or vagina based on inspection, histopathology and adverse event reporting. 5. Generator panel displays vapor delivery elapsed time, VAPOR probe pressure and temperature 6. Intrauterine pressure does not exceed maximum vapor shut off limit (50 mm Hg) 7. Thermocouples (serosa and cervical) do not exceed 44 *C 8. Generator alarms operate as intended | — |
