About this study

This study is designed to calibrate and determine the accuracy for SpO2, pulse rate and respiratory rate of the newly in-house build Test Device wrist 1 (TDw1, or EVA) at Philips.

SpO2, pulse rate and respiratory rate during hypoxia will be calculated by using data of well-known reference devices, including:

  • A reference SpO2 sensor of Nellcor placed at a fingertip, that reflects also continuously the pulse rate Will be used to compare with the test device.
  • A reference respiratory rate device that calculates the respiratory rate based on detection of end-tidal CO2 peaks by capnography.
  • Oxygen saturation in arterial blood samples (SaO2), determined by a co-oximeter will be used to calculate the accuracy of the test device.

During the study the following devices will be additionally used by the volunteers:

  • AppleWatch 7
  • TDw2, watch build by philips, using the PPG and software technology developed by Philips
  • A smartphone that detects reflected PPG signals from the reflected screen at the handpalm, by the build in frontfacing camera (TDc) of the smartphone

Volunteers will undergo progressive hypoxia (9 min/% O2) from 21 to 10% O2 in an altitude room, resulting in a volunteer's SpO2 of 73%. During this deliberated hypoxia, the volunteers wear the test and reference devices.

This study consists of 4 sub-studies (NI = non-invasive; IN = invasive with an arterial line):

  • NI (Fast-Sitting): volunteers are seated in the hypoxia room in which the ambient oxygen concentration decreases at a speed of 9 min/% O2. If the volunteer reached a SpO2 ≤73% for more than 1 minute, he/she leaves the hypoxia room. And will breath air with 21% oxygen. Volunteers wear TDw1 and TDw2 and the reference devices.
  • NI(Fast-Lying): identical to NI(Fast-Sitting) but volunteers lay on a mattress. Volunteers wear TDw1 and AppleWatch 7 and the reference devices.
  • NI (Slow-Sitting): identical to NI (Fast-Sitting), but after one of the volunteers reaches a SpO2 ≤73% for more than one minute, oxygen in the room increases at a speed of 9 min/% O2 until normal ambient air oxygen concentration of 21%. Volunteers wear TDw1 and AppleWatch 7 and the reference devices.
  • IN(Fast-Sitting): identical to NI(Fast-Sitting) but the volunteer's oxygen saturation in blood samples withdrawn via an arterial line is measured in the laboratory.

The NI studies include 18 healthy participants in each sub-study. After the first volunteers have completed the study, small adaptations in the software of the study devices is still possible, e.g. to increase the quality of the PPG-signals. After the three sub-studies are completed, the algorithm for conversion of raw PPG signals to SpO2, pulse rate and respiratory rate will be defined and fixed for the test devices.

During the IN-study, which can only be started after completion of all NI studies, an arterial catheter will be inserted in the radial artery of the 12 participating volunteers, in order to take several blood samples to measure oxygen saturation in the blood (25 samples at well-defined moments during the study per volunteer). Using these results of arterial oxygen saturation, the accuracy of the test devices can be calculated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Arterial blood drawProcedure or surgery

    For the IN(Fast-Sitting) arm arterial blood will be collected to derive "Gold-standard" SaO2 reference values.

  • Oxygen reductionOther

    Volunteers undergo an ambient oxygen decrease from 21% to 10%

Study groups in NCT05790616
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NI(Fast-Sitting)ExperimentalSubgroup Non-Invasive (Fast-Sitting): sitting volunteers undergo an ambient oxygen decrease from 21% to 10% (SpO2 <73% for 1 minute) followed by a fast increase of ambient oxygen concentration. Fast: if the study is completed for a volunteer reaching SpO2 ≤73%, the subject leaves the room and breaths 21% oxygen. The hypoxia inducing device is stopped after all subjects left the hypoxia room and the door of the hypoxia room is opened, allowing air with 21% O2 to enter the room. Airco fan stays running.
Receives: Other: Oxygen reduction
NI(Slow-Sitting)ExperimentalVolunteers of subgroup Non-Invasive (Slow-Sitting) follow the NI (Rapid-Sitting) protocol, but after hypoxia at FiO2=0,10 oxygen normalization is programmed to increase at the same speed as the hypoxia creation. Slow: after target hypoxia has been reached, air with 21% of oxygen is allowed to enter the room in such a way that the speed of increase of O2 to 21% is approximately equal to the decrease of the room's oxygen to 10%
Receives: Other: Oxygen reduction
NI(Fast-Lying)ExperimentalVolunteers included in the Non-Invasive (Fast-Lying) group follow the NI (Rapid-sitting) protocol although in lying position.
Receives: Other: Oxygen reduction
IN(Fast-Sitting)ExperimentalAfter full completion of the Non-Invasive (NI) studies, and a defined algorithm to compute SpO2 by TDw1 is achieved, the study is repeated as described for the NI (Rapid-Sitting) protocol, but arterial blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) will be determined during 5 stable ambient oxygen plateaus (the Invasive (Fast-Sitting) study). These results are used as benchmark to define the final accuracy of TDw1 for SpO2 reproduction. In this part of the study, according to the minimal requirements of the regulatory agencies, 12 volunteers that successfully completed the study will be included.
Receives: Procedure: Arterial blood draw; Other: Oxygen reduction

What is being measured

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

  1. Algorithm validation

    1. the calculation and validation of the algorithm for
    2. conversion of the modulation ratio R of theraw PPG signals to SpO2 for all wrist Test Devices.
    3. conversion of PPG signals to PR and RR.
    4. determining the accuracy of TDw1 and TDc with cooximetry as golden benchmark in the IN study.
    5. Looking for the feasibility of TDw2 for further development

    The accuracy is represented by A(rms), and specifically for the NI study, the SpO2 range is continuous (SpO2 100- 73%, about 16 000 samples per volunteer). During the IN study the accuracy is represented by A(rms) and calculated for SpO2 versus Sa O2 (about 20 to 25 samples per volunteer).
