Brief Summary

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

Multi-center, prospective, open label, single arm post-market study to assess the real-world safety and efficacy of BD NRFit™ Spinal Needles, BD NRFit™ Spinal Introducer Needles, and BD NRFit™ Syringes used in an on-market fashion.

Detailed Description

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

This is a multi-center, prospective, open label, single arm post-market study that will enroll approximately 180 participants in order to have a minimum of 150 treated participants who will receive a spinal anesthesia procedure as part of their routine medical care. Participants will be followed from the time of enrollment for up to 10 days (± 3 days) post spinal anesthesia procedure for evidence of adverse events including Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH). This can be done via phone if the participant is discharged from the hospital. The site staff must take advantage of the time window of ± 3 days only when the 10-day post-procedure occurs during the weekends or holidays. Any adverse event or complication must be diagnosed and confirmed by a study physician.

A minimum of 50 participants for each of the two needle tip types (Quincke and Whitacre tip) will be enrolled in the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Any patient, regardless of age or gender, for which the investigator has decided that a neuraxial procedure must be performed utilizing BD NRFit™ Spinal Needles, NRFit™ Spinal Introducer Needles, and NRFit™ Syringes as part of their routine medical care.
2. Expected to be available for observation through the study period (10 days, ± 3 days, post procedure\*).
