The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Patient Global Evaluation (PGE): From 12-month to 36-month, 90.2% (101/112) of the subjects were very satisfied or satisfied with the treatment received, and 90.2% (101/112) of the subjects would recommend the procedure to friends at 24-month; and 90.7% (97/107) of the subjects were very satisfied or satisfied with the treatment received, and 88.8% (95/107) of the subjects would recommend the procedure to friends at 36-month
Investigator Global Evaluation (IGE): From 12-month to 36-month, the investigators assessed the subjects menstrual status as normal (eumenorrhea) or less than normal (hypomenorrhea, spotting and amenorrhea) menstrual blood loss in 96.4% (108/112) of the subjects at 24-month; and the investigators assessed the subjects menstrual status as normal (eumenorrhea) or less than normal (hypomenorrhea, spotting and amenorrhea) menstrual blood loss in 95.3% (102/107) of the subjects at 36-month.
