Not Based on a Head-to-Head Study. Data from “Intent-to-Treat” populations at 1 year follow-up from Clinical Trials results in the Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data on file at www.FDA.gov for Minerva®, Her Option®, HTA® System, and NovaSure®.

  • Patient success was defined as a reduction in PBLAC menstrual diary score from ≥150 pre-treatment to ≤ 75 at 12 months post-procedure. Amenorrhea was defined as a score of 0.
  • Secondary study endpoints included the amenorrhea rate, length of procedure (Handpiece insertion to removal), and responses from a patient satisfaction questionnaire.

How Does the Minerva System Work?

The Minerva System works by treating the endometrium (tissue lining of the uterus) with heat. This tissue is the source of heavy bleeding in women who have not reached menopause. Minerva is only for women who do not want to have children in the future.
