What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ivWatch Model 400Device

    The ivWatch Model 400 is placed next to the subject's PIV site. All subjects will receive standard care for their IV sites including the normal routine assessments of the IV site by the bedside registered nurses.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PilotExperimentalA non-alarming ivWatch device will monitor the IV sites of these subjects. The goal of this small pilot study is to give clinicians an opportunity to perform the protocol and operate the ivWatch device and to give researchers the ability to make adjustments prior to starting the subsequent non-alarming group.
Receives: Device: ivWatch Model 400
Non-alarmingExperimental150 patients will be enrolled in the non-alarming group. The ivWatch device will monitor the IV sites but will not issue infiltration notifications.

AlarmingExperimental150 patients will be enrolled in the alarming group. The IV sites will be monitored with the ivWatch Model 400 infiltration notifications enabled.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time Infiltration Detected by Nurse

    The difference in time to detection between the clinician and the ivWatch device is measured from the non-alarming group. This measurement reveals how much earlier the infiltration could have been detected by the ivWatch device compared to the clinician assessments. This metric is measured using the patients in the non-alarming group since an infiltration notification by the ivWatch device could bias the clinician's diagnosis.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of intravenous therapy, an expected duration of up to 1 week

  2. Infiltration Sensitivity

    The infiltration sensitivity is defined as the percentage of the clinician-confirmed infiltrations that are detected by the ivWatch device before the clinician's diagnosis. This metric is measured and reported separately for non-alarming and alarming groups, since an infiltration notification by the ivWatch device could bias the clinician's diagnosis.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of intravenous therapy, an expected duration of up to 1 week

  3. Notification Rate of ivWatch Device

    The notification rate is defined as the number of ivWatch device infiltration notifications issued in a certain amount of time, typically reported in units of notifications per day. The notification rate is the number of notifications per day, excluding cases with clinician confirmed infiltrations. This metric is measured using the subjects in the alarming group since the number of notifications could potentially depend on how quickly nurses reset the device.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of intravenous therapy, an expected duration of up to 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ivWatch Model 400 in people with Infiltration of Peripheral IV Therapy, run by ivWatch, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time Infiltration Detected by Nurse (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of intravenous therapy, an expected duration of up to 1 week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Apr 2017.
