Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Hummingbird® for the placement of ear tubes in children undergoing tympanostomy tube placement in an otolaryngology clinic using local anesthetic.


Clinical Trial Description

The Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System (H-TTS) is intended to deliver a tympanostomy tube (also referred to as a ventilation tube) through the tympanic membrane of the patient and is indicated to be used in office settings for children. The H-TTS is intended to deliver a tympanostomy tube through the tympanic membrane (TM) of the patient. It combines the separate functions of creating a myringotomy, and positioning and placing a ventilation tube across the TM. The Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System (H-TTS) is a disposable surgical tool designed to deliver a tympanostomy tube ("ear tube") into the tympanic membrane of patients during a tympanostomy tube placement procedure. More than 1,000,000 ear tubes are inserted annually in the US, making it one of the most common surgical procedures performed in children. Preceptis Medical, Inc. has developed the H-TTS to reduce trauma, pain, and risk to the patient while reducing the overall surgical procedure time. The H-TTS integrates the multiple surgical instruments necessary for current surgical procedure into a single, one-pass device. The H-TTS creates an incision in the tympanic membrane ("ear drum") and inserts a tympanostomy tube with the push of a lever. Thus, the H-TTS allows placement of a tympanostomy tube with a single pass down the ear canal. The ear tube used with the H-TTS is a standard, commercially available tympanostomy tube. ;
