About this study
Official title: A Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Clinical Safety of Nutriseal™ Enteral Feeding Tube Placement Using the Nutriseal™ Nutriplace™ System in Patients
This is a single center, non-randomized feasibility clinical evaluation that is designed to affirm the safety of the Nutriplace™ System guidance during the placement of the Nutriseal™ enteral feeding tubes.
Read the detailed description
Enteral nutrition is the preferred route for the provision of nutritional support in most critical ill patients with functional gastrointestinal tract. Achieving early enteral nutrition (EN) in critically ill patients is associated with fewer major complications, reduced mortality and length of hospital stay, and significant cost savings.
It is estimated that approximately 1.2 million feeding tubes are placed blindly each year in the United States alone. Despite the obvious advantages of the enteral tube feeding, inadvertent placement of enteral feeding tube (EFT) into the airway is relatively common and can result in significant pulmonary injury including pneumothorax and pneumonia. Airway misplacement occurs in 1.2-4 % of blind EFT insertions, with 0.2 to 1.2% of all the feeding tube placements cause pulmonary complications to patients.
The gold standard for detecting inadvertent placement of a feeding tube in the lungs is radiography. However, because of its cost, possible delay of feedings while waiting for radiography, and risk for radiation exposure, clinicians continue to seek for alternative methods to confirm correct placement.
All the above mentioned, emphasizes the fact that safe and effective delivery of nasoenteral tube feedings requires assurance that the feeding tube tip is in a proper position.
The Nutriplace™ System is an electromagnetic tracking system which tracks the path of the feeding tube during placement.
The benefit of the system when EFT is misdirected into the pulmonary system is a real-time visual tracing, which may prompt users to withdraw the tube and reinsert it.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nutriplace™ SystemDevice
The Nutriseal™ Nutriplace™ System is an electromagnetic tracking system for feeding tube placement designed to aid qualified operators in the placement of the Nutriseal™ Enteral Feeding Tube™ into the stomach or small intestine.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Nutriplace™ System | Experimental | Placement of the Nutriseal™ Enteral Feeding Tube in the stomach or small intestine of adult patients who require feedings via the oro/nasoenteric route, using the Nutriplace™ System. Receives: Device: Nutriplace™ System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Successfully Placed Enteral Feeding Tube
Enteral tube (EFT) can be placed in the correct anatomical position without occurrence of guidance-related adverse events.
Procedure success was evaluated by comparing tube tip location according to the NUTRIPLACE System and abdominal and/or thoracic X-Ray.
Guidance-related AEs were evaluated through the documentation of any guidance-related serious adverse events (SAE) or adverse events (AE) occurring during a subject's participation in the study.
Measured: During procedure visit
Secondary outcomes (2)
Number of Participants Requiring Replacement and/or Repositioning of the Feeding Tube
Number of placement attempts was evaluated by number of replacement and repositioning events, as defined below:
- Replacement: Complete removal of the tube from the patient or retraction above the level of the pharynx followed by reinsertion
- Repositioning: Changing position of tube without complete removal of the tube
Measured: During procedure visit
Number of Participants Reporting Retrograde Tube Migration in the Follow-up Visit
Tube Migration was defined as: Retrograde migration from desired placement position
Measured: During follow-up visit (20-48 hours post tube placement
