A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Pivotal Study of the May Health System in Transvaginal Ablation of Ovarian Tissue under Ultrasound Guidance in Women with Infertility due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The objective of the study is to provide evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the May Health System in transvaginal ablation of ovarian tissue under transvaginal ultrasound guidance to restore ovulation in women with infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to first-line ovulation induction treatment or are contraindicated for or decline such treatment.

The intervention includes the short-term use of the May Health System, which is comprised of three elements: (1) the May Health Needle-Catheter Ablation Device (NCAD) (the Device) a 16 gauge echogenic needle including a bipolar temperature-controlled RF ablation catheter which is clipped and secured onto a vaginal ultrasound probe; (2) the May Health Adapter which is clipped onto the ultrasound probe; and (3) the May Health Generator: a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation platform utilizing the single use May Health NCAD for ovarian tissue ablation. Once the patient is under conscious sedation, the physician guides the May Health system transvaginally with the use of a transvaginal ultrasound. Once the May Health device is safely and securely positioned, the physician will deliver radio frequency energy inside the ovary in order to ablate the tissue.

Time frame: Baseline through 36 month visit
Pain level after procedure
Measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) \[ranked from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)\], immediately after procedure completion, prior to discharge, 1-, and 7-day follow-up as well as baseline pain level reported by the participant during menstruation as reference
Time frame: Device arm and Crossover - Baseline through 7 day visit
Performance of activities of daily living
Received score from activities of daily living (ADL)
Time frame: Device arm and Crossover: baseline, 24 hours post procedure, D7
Procedure times
Includes pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment
Time frame: Device arm and Crossover at Day 0
Time to discharge
Defined as time from end-of-procedure until participant meets all conditions to be discharged from Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Time frame: Device arm and Crossover at Day 0
Modified Post Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS)
The Modified Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) score is completed after the procedure. The score evaluates whether the participant is safe to go home after anesthesia. It scores 0-2 points in each category (vital signs, activity, nausea/vomiting, pain, bleeding, intake/output), for a maximum score of 10. Discharge can occur with a score of 9 or more and a vital signs score of 2.
Time frame: Device arm and Crossover at 1 hour, 2 hour post procedure
