About this study

Official title: A Two-Arm Prospective, Multi-Centered Study to Assess Electrocardiogram Waveforms Produced Through the Utilization of the Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System

This study was to gather real-time ECG data through the use of the SHERLOCK 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS), an electrocardiogram (ECG)-based peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) tip confirmation technology. The study was to promote the development of a software package (MODUS) that can accurately define the maximum P-wave on an ECG waveform. All study participants received PICCs as their standard of care.

Read the detailed description

The SHERLOCK 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) is a fully integrated magnetic tracking and ECG-based PICC tip confirmation technology. It was cleared by the FDA on March 19, 2012 and is indicated for use as an alternative to chest x-ray and fluoroscopy for PICC tip placement confirmation in adult patients.

In order to further develop the SHERLOCK 3CG™ platform and simplify the PICC placement for the clinician, Bard Access Systems, Inc. developed a software package, MODUS, which can accurately define the maximum p-wave on an ECG waveform. This software provides visual and/or audio queues to notify the PICC placer of the location of the tip of the PICC relative to the cavoatrial junction of the patient.

Subjects who required bedside PICC placement as standard of care and met eligibility criteria were enrolled. The software package was not used in the guidance or placement of the PICC tip. PICCs were placed per standard of care procedure using anthropometric measurements with the SHERLOCK 3CG™ TCS System. Data from the placements was sent back to Bard for analysis.

    The SHERLOCK 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) is a fully-integrated magnetic tracking and ECG-based PICC tip confirmation technology. It was cleared by the FDA on March 19, 2012 and is indicated for use as an alternative to chest x-ray and fluoroscopy for PICC tip placement confirmation in adult patients. In order to further develop the SHERLOCK 3CG™ platform and simplify the PICC placement for the clinician, Bard Access Systems, Inc. is developing MODUS, a software package.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent agreement between maximum P-wave assessments of PICC nurse clinicians and the MODUS software during PICC insertion

    The measurement used will be percent agreement between clinician and MODUS software. Agreement of 95% between the nurse clinician and software assessments will be used to validate the study hypothesis.

    Measured: The PICC insertion procedure is 60-90 mins in duration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Indication for Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization, run by C. R. Bard at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 23 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Percent agreement between maximum P-wave assessments of PICC nurse clinicians and the MODUS software during PICC insertion (time frame: The PICC insertion procedure is 60-90 mins in duration). 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 23 Jan 2017.
