Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Sonata® System in the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this single-arm study, subjects who have symptomatic uterine fibroids will have transcervical RF ablation of uterine fibroids under intrauterine ultrasound guidance using the Gynesonics Sonata System.

Study Groups

Subjects Treated with Sonata

Intervention: Intrauterine Ultrasound-Guided Radiofreq. Ablation System or the Sonata, which is a sonography guided transcervical ablation device intended for treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Subjects with symptomatic uterine fibroids and heavy menstrual bleeding who met the study population selection criteria received treatment with Sonata.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intrauterine Ultrasound-Guided Radiofreq. Ablation System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Sonata System combines intrauterine ultrasound (IUUS) with radiofrequency (RF) ablation in a single handpiece. Sonata is suitable in an inpatient or outpatient setting, and is intended for diagnostic intrauterine imaging and transcervical treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids, including those associated with heavy menstrual bleeding(HMB).
