Hologic made business decision to no longer sell or manufacture Adiana device.

The Adiana Post-Approval Clinical Study (APACS) has been designed to compile information on the efficacy and safety of the Adiana Permanent Contraception System in the post market setting. Specifically, data will be collected that is relevant to the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the Adiana System for women who desire permanent birth control by occlusion of the fallopian tubes. This study is an observational study that is not intended to test specific hypotheses.

Adiana Post-Approval Clinical Study is a prospective, single armed, multi-center, observational study that is designed to provide additional efficacy and safety data regarding the FDA-approved Adiana Permanent Contraception System. This study will be conducted at 8-10 clinical sites and enroll 1000 subjects. Enrolled subjects will have baseline data collected at the time of their Adiana procedure and will then be followed for a period of 2 years with visits occurring at 3 months following the Adiana procedure, 6 months following Adiana procedure (as applicable), 12 and 24 months post relying date.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who are seeking permanent sterilization
• Women 18-45 years old
• Subjects who are at risk of becoming pregnant
• Subjects willing to use alternative contraception for at least three (3) months following device placement and bilateral tubal occlusion is confirmed by HSG
• Subjects who are able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who are uncertain about their desire to end fertility
• Clinical evidence of an active pelvic infection or history of a recent pelvic infection
• Has intra-uterine pathology which would prevent access to either tubal ostium or the intramural portion of either fallopian tube (i.e., large submucous fibroids, uterine adhesions, apparent uni or bilateral proximal tubal occlusion, suspected unicornuate uterus, etc.)

• Is currently less than three (3) months since her last pregnancy
