Brief description of study

What is the purpose of this study?

The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate acceptable performance and assess safety of the HARMONIC 700 Shears device in a post-market setting when used per the instructions for use in pediatric and adult surgical procedures.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Subjects will be recruited from the investigators’ existing patient population who plan to have a procedure from the proposed procedure groups - pediatric surgical procedures (general) and adult surgical procedures (general, gynecological, urological, and thoracic).
Participants recruited for the study will include pediatric participants aged less than (<) 18 years of age and adult participants of at least 18 years of age in whom at least one vessel is planned to be transected by the HARMONIC 700 Shears as per the instructions for use (IFU). Subjects will be consented and screened anytime during a period of 8 weeks prior to the date of surgery.

Detailed description of study

What will happen during the study?

  • This prospective, single-arm, multi-center study will collect clinical data in a post-market setting for the pediatric population (general surgical procedures) and adult population (general, gynecological, urological, and thoracic surgical procedures).
  • Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the HARMONIC™ 700 Shears IFU.
  • All enrolled subjects will be followed post-operatively through discharge and again at 28 days (± 14 days) post-surgery; therefore, from the surgery date to study exit, the duration will be approximately 6 weeks.
  • End of study is defined as date of last patient last visit.
