About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Med Systems' Electro Flo Percussor Model 5000, Airway Clearance System, for Pulmonary Clearance of Secretions.

Phase IV interventional study of adults (18 to 55) having a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (mild, moderate or severe). The study is completely voluntary and is designed to measure participants use and the effectiveness of the device within the 510K indication of: airway clearance therapy when external manipulation of the thorax. The trial period shall be 21 days and include use of a FDA cleared pulse oximetry monitor (K131111), manual spirometer as well as completion of semi-weekly participant survey.

Read the detailed description

Phase IV interventional study, of participants with cystic fibrosis with mild, moderate or severe conditions, for the efficacy of the Electro Flo Percussor, Model 5000 (K031876), Regulation Number: 21 CFR 868.5665, with current FDA indication of: provide airway clearance therapy when external manipulation of the thorax is the physician's choice of treatment. Indications for this form of therapy are described by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in the Clinical Practices Guidelines for Postural Drainage Therapy ( I ) (1991). According to AARC guidelines, specific indications for external manipulation of the thorax include evidence or a suggestion of retained secretions, evidence that the patient is having difficulty with the secretion clearance, or presence of atelectasis caused by mucus plugging. In addition, the Med Systems Electro Flo Percussor Model 5000 is also indicated for external manipulation of the thorax to promote airway clearance or improve bronchial drainage for purposes of collecting mucus for diagnostic evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage change of oxygen levels in the blood (pulse oximetry).

    SpO2 will be monitored using the standard pulse oximeter system (K131111).

    Measured: Change from baseline up to 3.5 hours.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage change of lung function

    Evaluate expiratory forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) will be monitored with standard spirometer.

    Measured: Change from baseline up to 3.5 hours

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?

Percentage change of oxygen levels in the blood (pulse oximetry). (time frame: Change from baseline up to 3.5 hours.). 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 NCT03437811, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
