OTHERParagard® T380A Intrauterine Copper Contraceptive with new inserter Non parous and parous female subjects of child bearing potential
Interventions
Paragard® IUS with Investigational Inserter combines the current insertion tube and white rod to form a new pre-assembled inserter device that supports a single hand operation. The device is used to pass the IUS through the cervical canal and into the uterine cavity and facilitates insertion of the T shaped Paragard® IUS implant into the uterus.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject is a postmenarcheal and premenopausal woman of child bearing potential.
- Subjects are at least 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Subject is overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy or at risk for luteal phase pregnancy
- History of previous IUD complications
- Abnormalities of the uterus resulting in distortion of the uterine cavity that may complicate IUD insertion
- Known anatomical abnormalities of the cervix
- Presence of acute pelvic inflammatory disease at the time of screening.
- Postpartum endometritis.
- Known or suspected uterine or cervical malignancy.
- Uterine bleeding of unknown etiology.
- Untreated acute cervicitis or vaginitis or other lower genital tract infection.
