What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The true failure rate of the tested devices
Measured: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes
Effectiveness of the safety lancet's sharps injury prevention features
Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.
Measured: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes
Secondary outcomes (4)
Subjective assessments regarding evaluators' interactions with the tested safety lancets
Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.
Measured: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes
Safety of the devices based on the evaluators' assessments (five-point response scale)
Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure any and all observed needlestick injuries and device malfunctions. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.
Measured: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes
Various aspects of the ease of use.
Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.
Measured: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes
Any handling, usability questions / issues associated with the device

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 8 inclusion and 5 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 22 Jan 2019. 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?
The true failure rate of the tested devices (time frame: At time of testing, up to 90 minutes). The study lists 2 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 22 Jan 2019.
