Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Visual Saline Infusion

Visual Saline Infusion is intended to perform direct visual evaluation of the intrauterine space using a 2.7mm, steerable tip catheter with a camera.

active comparator: Hydrosonography

Hydrosonography is the standard of care for intrauterine evaluation. It is performed by inserting a slim 2 mm catheter into the uterine cavity and infusing saline solution to expand the uterus, and using abdominal ultrasound to detect intrauterine pathology.

Interventions

Visual Saline Infusion

Visual Saline Infusion (VSI) is a new intrauterine imaging procedure to identify uterine pathology. The VSI device is a 2.7mm, steerable tip catheter with a camera and illumination at the distal end. The device is intended to evaluate the intrauterine space in an office based, outpatient setting using minimal volume of fluid (3-5cc's).

Hydrosonography

Hydrosonography is an ultrasound based intrauterine imaging technique with sensitivity and specificity ranging from 90% to 100% for identifying uterine pathology. It is performed by inserting a slim 2 mm catheter into the uterine cavity and infusing saline solution to expand the uterus and using abdominal ultrasound to visualize the uterus.

Primary outcome measure

  • Intrauterine pathology detection rate with Hydrosonography [ Time Frame: Procedure of 2-5 minute duration ]
  • Intrauterine pathology detection rate with Visual Saline Infusion [ Time Frame: Procedure of approximately 2-5 minute duration ]
