About this study

Official title: Evaluation of ExSpiron™ Non-Invasive Respiratory Volume Monitor Measurements Derived Without Patient Specific Calibration

Previous studies have shown that the ExSpiron™ can provide non-invasive, real-time, accurate measurements of minute ventilation (MV), tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR) after calibration with a spirometer. The purpose of this study is to compare the MV, TV and RR values measured by the ExSpiron™ without prior spirometer calibration to values obtained with a spirometer calibration. In this study, the MV and TV values will be compared between the ExSpiron™ with and without prior patient-specific calibration of the ExSpiron™ to a spirometer

Read the detailed description

In order to evaluate the performance of the device under the range of conditions encountered in the clinical environment, the respiratory volume monitor (RVM) was tested throughout a range of respiratory rates and also during erratic breathing patterns. At 4 and 36 breaths per minute (the extremes of the rates anticipated to be encountered in the clinical setting), and during erratic breathing, RVM and spirometry measurements were found to be highly-correlated (r=0.98 ±0.01 (mean ±95%CI) at 4 breaths/min, 0.97 ±0.01 at 36, and 0.93 ±0.04 during erratic breathing). These studies also included calibration of the ExSpiron to the spirometer.

The primary objective of the study is to compare the minute ventilation (MV), tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR) measurements collected and reported by the ExSpiron, without prior ExSpiron calibration, against acquired MV, TV, and RR measurements from an ExSpiron with prior individual specific calibration to a spirometer using either a Wright Spirometer or a Morgan Flow Volume Loop (FVL) Pneumotachograph Spirometer. A secondary objective will be to confirm the PadSet functionality after 24 hours of wear in accordance with current labeling.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome measure of the study is the minute ventilation (MV), in liters per minute (L/min), collected and reported by the ExSpiron, with and without prior ExSpiron calibration

    Calibrated ExSpiron measurements compared against uncalibrated ExSpiron measurements

    Measured: 3 months

  2. The primary outcome measure of the study is the tidal volume (TV), in liters (L), collected and reported by the ExSpiron, with and without prior ExSpiron calibration

    Calibrated ExSpiron measurements compared against uncalibrated ExSpiron measurements

    Measured: 3 months

  3. The primary outcome measure of the study is the respiratory rate (RR), in breaths per minute (bpm), collected and reported by the ExSpiron, with and without prior ExSpiron calibration

    Calibrated ExSpiron measurements compared against uncalibrated ExSpiron measurements

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Invasive Respiratory Volume Monitoring, run by Respiratory Motion, Inc..

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 28 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary outcome measure of the study is the minute ventilation (MV), in liters per minute (L/min), collected and reported by the ExSpiron, with and without prior ExSpiron calibration (time frame: 3 months). 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 28 Aug 2018.
