PRIMO Post-Market Clinical Follow Up Study (PRIMO)

December 30, 2025 updated by: MMI (Medical Microinstruments, Inc.)

Post-Market, Non-Randomized, Multicentre PMCF Study to Monitor the Safety and Performance of Symani System in Microsurgical Reconstructive Procedures in a Real Life Setting

Post Market Clinical Follow up Study aimed to collect clinical data on safety and efficacy of Robotically Assisted System called Symani to perform microsurgery techniques such as anastomosis, suturing and ligation for open surgery procedures on small anatomical structures such as blood vessels, lymphatic ducts and nerves.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PMCF study aimed to monitor the safety, usability, performance and long-term efficacy of Symani. Furthermore, it will permit to detect potential emerging risks related to safety on the basis of clinical evidence through the observation of patients who have undergone microsurgical reconstructions using the Symani Surgical System in the usual setting of standard surgical practice.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
427

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 100 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female patients aged >18
  • Patients who need a reconstructive procedure and a microsurgical reconstruction is deemed the best option by the plastic, orthopedic or other surgeon in response to a post-oncological, post-traumatic or congenital tissue defect or to treat lymphedema.
  • Patients who have been selected by the PI at the Clinical Center as appropriate candidates for treatment with Symani System in accordance with the IFU.
  • Subjects who fit the criteria to perform surgery requiring reconstructions using free flaps, replantation, lymphatic reconstructions.
  • Subjects who agree to have the surgery and the anaesthesia.
  • Subjects who voluntarily decide to participate in this study with the surgery performed with the aid of the Symani System and sign the Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have bleeding or coagulation disorders in the past or present.
  • Any criteria that preclude prolonged anesthesia.
  • History of anaphylaxis or severe complicated allergy symptoms.
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, endocrine, or central nervous system disorders or previous mental disorders that may significantly affect the data collection or the ability to comply with the protocol.
  • Evidence or history of autoimmune disease or compromised immune system.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to participation in the study.
  • Subjects belonging to vulnerable populations or ineligible to participate for other reasons by the PI at a Clinical Center.
  • Subjects with pacemaker
