9 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine whether commercial ultrasound imaging systems can discern normal from infiltrated tissue near a peripheral intravenous site.
This study evaluates a Non-invasive Thermal Infusion Site Monitor (NTISM) device when used during routine outpatient infusion treatments.
The purpose of this study to to monitor the peripheral intravenous (PIV) site on subjects receiving continuous IV fluids for infiltration and extravasation events. Infiltration is an indication that the PIV is leaking fluids outside of the vascular system. The study hypothesis is to demonstrate that changes in the optical signals of the non-invasive monitoring medical device will detect infiltration and extravasation events.
A single arm study of 40 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of the ivWatch SmartTouch and fiber optic sensors when observing non-infiltrated (normal) tissues at common peripheral IV therapy sites.
A single arm trial consisting of 98 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of ivWatch sensors when observing infiltrated tissues at common sites for peripheral IV therapy.
This study will examine the use of the ivWatch Model 400 to monitor PIV sites in pediatric patients. Half the participants will be monitored by the device without infiltration notifications and the other half will be monitored by the device with infiltration notifications enabled.
A single arm trial consisting of 70 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of the ivWatch Model 400 when observing infiltrated tissues at common sites for peripheral IV therapy.
A single arm study of 40 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of the ivWatch Model 400 when observing non-infiltrated (normal) tissues at common peripheral IV therapy sites.
This comparative treatment study aims to challenge a current clinical practice. Specifically, whether the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post insertion failure rates with longer utility time compared to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) inserted in the standard manner during the emergency department (ED), observation and in-patient stay. There are two secondary aims to the study: a) determining if ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post removal complication rates compared to PIVCs inserted in the standard manner; and b) determining if catheter-to-vein ratio can predict post insertion success of PIVCs and what catheter-to-vein ratio is most successful. In this study, catheter-to-vein ratio is defined as the diameter of the lumen of the vein divided by the outside diameter of the catheter.
