Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) with the CVAC System
The CVAC Aspiration System is a sterile, single use, steerable ureteral catheter system with integrated vision, irrigation and aspiration for the treatment and removal of urinary stones (kidney stones, fragments, and dust).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Stone Clearance (% Reduction in Stone Volume)
Time Frame: 30 Days

The percent reduction ([Baseline stone volume- 30-Day stone volume] / Baseline stone volume) in stone volume following intervention, observed on non-contrast CT (NCCT) (2.0mm slice thickness).

A positive result indicates a decrease in stone volume removed during the procedure; a negative value indicates an increase in stone volume following the procedure.

30 Days
Residual Stone Volume (RSV)
Time Frame: 30 Days
A continuous quantitative measure of remaining stone volume following intervention, observed on non-contrast CT (NCCT) (2.0mm slice thickness).
30 Days
Stone Free Rate (SFR) - Zero Fragments
Time Frame: 30 Days
Where stone free status is defined as zero residual fragments at 30 days observed on non-contrast CT (NCCT) (2.0mm slice thickness). SFR is calculated by determining the number of kidneys in each treatment arm with a stone free status of zero fragments and dividing that by the total number of kidneys treated in the respective treatment arm.
