简要总结
This clinical study is designed to evaluate the initial safety and performance of an investigational intermittent urinary catheter in people who use intermittent catheterization. Participants will use the study catheter and provide feedback on their experience, including ease of insertion, advancement through the urethra, bladder drainage, withdrawal, comfort, confidence, satisfaction, and overall ease of use.
Safety will be evaluated through reported health changes and adverse events. Device performance and user experience will be assessed using participant questionnaires and comparisons with the participant's current intermittent catheter, including questions related to catheter handling, comfort during catheterization, perceived ability to empty the bladder, likelihood of future use, and product preference.
The study is intended to generate descriptive information on the initial clinical use of the investigational catheter and to help characterize its safety, usability, comfort, satisfaction, and performance relative to participants' current intermittent catheter products.
详细描述
This is a prospective, single-arm, fixed-sequence, within-participant clinical evaluation of an investigational intermittent catheter. Eligible adult male participants in the United States who currently use hydrophilic intermittent catheters will first use 30 of their usual catheters and then 30 study catheters. During both catheter-use periods, participants will complete daily questionnaires regarding catheter use and health changes and will complete evaluation forms assessing ease of use, catheter performance, comfort, confidence, satisfaction, and comparative preference. Safety will be evaluated through reported health changes and adverse events. The study is intended to provide descriptive information regarding the initial safety, usability, and performance of the investigational catheter relative to participants' current intermittent catheter products.
