Intervention
Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Primary effectiveness endpoint is the reduction in menstrual blood loss as measured by an alkaline hematin score of < 80 mL at 3 months;
2. Procedural safety: Defined by the absence of device or procedure related serious adverse events within 14 days of the ablation procedure.
Secondary outcome
Patient's subjectively reported improvement based on 6 month post-procedure Multi-Attribute Utility Assessment (Menorrhagia Questionnaire) as compared to Baseline.
Background summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility (safety and effectiveness) of the AEGEA GEA System to reduce menstrual blood loss in women with a history of menorrhagia due to benign causes. Subjects will undergo alkaline hematin screening testing to identify 30 who are appropriate for treatment with the goal to have 20 subjects who complete the three-month follow-up. Participants will undergo a follow-up assessment 2 weeks following the procedure and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.

Study design
1. Screening;
2. Ablation Procedure;
3. 2 and 6 week follow-up;
4. 3, 6, 12 and 24 month follow-up.
Intervention
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive treatment of menorrhagia that eliminates the the endometrial layer of the uterine cavity while preserving the uterus.
