The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of the Aurora Ablation System in reducing menstrual blood loss at 12 months post-treatment. The occurrence of adverse events will be assessed along with an assessment of the reduction of uterine bleeding as measured by a pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBLAC) or menstrual diary.

23 subjects enrolled: 2 subjects excluded based on pre-procedure hysteroscopy findings and did not receive treatment, in 1 subject treatment was attempted but procedure was aborted due to the width of the uterus, the remaining 20 subjects completed study treatment. The protocol ITT population included all subjects in whom treatment was attempted.
Subjects were enrolled in the clinical trial at 3 investigational sites in Hungary from May 2011 until October 2011.

| PBLAC Score (assessment of menstrual blood loss) | Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBLAC) is a tool used to assess menstrual blood loss. The PBLAC score takes into account the number of menstrual pads and tampons used as well as amount of saturation. A score of 0 represents no bleeding. Although the PBLAC score does not yield an exact measure of blood loss, it has been found to correlate well with menstrual blood volume. A score greater than 100 is correlated with a blood loss of at least 80 mL. | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale |
