Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Subjects With In-office Tube Placement Procedure Success

    Procedure Success is defined as the successful placement of any tympanostomy tube in all enrolled ears in a given subject. Procedure Success is determined on a per subject basis: the rate was calculated based on the number of subjects achieving Procedure Success out of the total number of enrolled subjects. Only subjects for whom tubes were placed under local anesthesia were evaluated for Procedure Success.

    Day 0

  • Percentage of Tubes Successfully Placed Using a TTDS Device

    Device (TTDS) success is defined as the successful delivery of a pre-loaded TT tube across the tympanic membrane using the TTDS. Device success will be evaluated per device attempted. Office/clinical subjects only. A Device (Type of Unit analyzed) is defined as a TDS attempt. This is not synonymous with "tube." Tube is the outcome of the device use.
