About this study

Official title: Comparison, Calibration, and Validation of the Non-invasive Cloud DX Pulsewave Health MonitorTM With Direct Invasive Radial and Central Arterial Measurements During Cardiac Catheterization

The objective of the Cloud DX Pulsewave Health Monitor study is to prospectively calibrate and validate a novel, non-invasive wrist cuff blood pressure device against the gold standard for hemodynamic monitoring (intra-arterial pressure) in voluntarily consented patient participants who are scheduled for an elective cardiac catheterization procedure for clinically valid reasons.

Read the detailed description

The Cloud DX Pulsewave Health Monitor is a non-invasive wrist cuff blood pressure device that is licensed by Health Canada with Food and Drug Administration approval. Systolic and diastolic pressures are measured via the arterial pulse waveform of the left radial artery. Initially, the blood pressure algorithm was created and calibrated using the auscultatory method. The purpose of this study is to calibrate the device to the clinical gold standard of peripheral and central intra-arterial pressures.

The device acquires a pulse signal in real-time, stores signal and measurement data, and displays stored signal and measurement data for interpretation via internet servers where it is accessible by end-users (physicians and/or patients). The system provides secure accounts for both in-patient and out-patient monitoring. Cloud DX's Pulsewave Health Monitor servers are housed in a secure data center. Privacy measures are to SSAE16 SOC-1 Type-II compliance: 1) restricted secure access, 2) dedicated firewall, 3) HTTPS channel communication via website, 4) self-encrypting hard-drives rendered useless if removed from the server.

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic Pressure

    Central aortic pressure (mmHg)

    Measured: Simultaneous non-invasive blood pressure device and intra-arterial fluid-filled pressure catheter measurements on day of cardiac catheterization procedure.

  2. Diastolic Pressure

    Central aortic pressure (mm Hg)

    Measured: Simultaneous non-invasive blood pressure device and intra-arterial fluid-filled pressure catheter measurements on day of cardiac catheterization procedure.

  3. Systolic Pressure

    Peripheral arterial pressure (mm Hg)

    Measured: Non-invasive blood pressure device measurements on day of cardiac catheterization procedure.

  4. Diastolic Pressure

    Peripheral arterial pressure (mm Hg)

    Measured: Non-invasive blood pressure device measurements on day of cardiac catheterization procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Cardiovascular Research New Brunswick at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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 30 Aug 2021. 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 Canada. 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 30 Aug 2021). 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?

Systolic Pressure (time frame: Simultaneous non-invasive blood pressure device and intra-arterial fluid-filled pressure catheter measurements on day of cardiac catheterization procedure.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03015363, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Aug 2021.
