About this study

The goal of this observational study is collect data to evaluate the efficacy of the RMS system in monitoring, recording, and presenting respiratory function data to the user in participants scheduled for pulmonary function testing (PFT).

Participants will complete:

  • 60 episodes of data collection with a decreased tidal volume
  • 30 episodes of data collection with an increased tidal volume
  • 80 episodes with normal tidal volume breathing

The TSS will continuously transmit sound data to an adjacent personal computer (PC) via Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE). TSS trachea sound data will be recorded on the PC and then transmitted via a secure wireless network to an RTM cloud account that is HIPPA compliant.

Reference breathing data will be simultaneously recorded using an FDA approved hospital ventilator (Hamilton Medical, HAMILTON-C1) with a calibrated pneumotach, capnometer, and a tight-fitting face mask. This system accurately measures and records a spontaneously breathing patient's RR, TV, MV, and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration.

Read the detailed description

Observational single-center data will be captured on up to 50 patients scheduled for pulmonary function testing (PFT) at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital's (TJUH) outpatient PFT facility. Plan is to record a complete data set from 30 patients. Breathing data for this study will be collected in the PFT facility by research personnel approximately 1 hour before or after the scheduled PFT test. Study personnel will adhere the TSS to the skin over the proximal trachea (midline above the sternal notch). The patient's neck will be examined prior to TSS attachment.

The TSS will continuously transmit sound data to an adjacent personal computer (PC) via Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE). TSS trachea sound data will be recorded on the PC and then transmitted via a secure TJUH wireless network to an RTM cloud account that is HIPPA compliant.

Reference breathing data will be simultaneously recorded using an FDA approved hospital ventilator (Hamilton Medical, HAMILTON-C1) with a calibrated pneumotach, capnometer, and a tight-fitting face mask. This FDA approved system accurately measures and records a spontaneously breathing patient's RR, TV, MV, and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration.

Study subjects will breathe through the HAMILTON ventilator's face mask, , capnometer, and pneumotach over a range of RR, TV, and MV with the data recorded on a computer. Each study subject will breathe with a normal RR, TV, and MV for approximately 5 minutes. Each subject will then breathe with a normal RR and a decreased tidal volume for approximately 60 to 80 seconds episode (shallow breathing), followed by a rest period (normal breathing). Each subject will then breathe with a normal RR and an increased tidal volume for approximately 60 to 80 seconds episode (deep breathing), followed by a rest period (normal breathing). This series of breathing will take approximately 7.5 minutes to record. Each subject will complete a second series of breathing using the identical methods. Study subjects will observe a computer screen that displays breath- by-breath tidal volume to help them maintain their tidal volume in the desired range during each recording.

Plan is to record and analyze approximately 280 breaths per study subject and 8,400 breaths from the 30 study subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of RMS of the RMS system in monitoring, recording, and presenting respiratory function data to the user

    The RMS measures respiratory rate, approximate/relative tidal volume, and approximate/relative minute ventilation when compared to measurements made with the HAMILTON ventilator pneumotach device

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Mean Measurement Accuracy Error for Respiratory Rate

    Mean measurement accuracy error for RR across all subjects shall be ≤ 5 % (±1 breath/minute) compared to the pneumotach

    Measured: 20 minutes

  3. Mean Measurement Accuracy Error for Tidal Volume

    Mean measurement accuracy error for TV across all subjects shall be ≤15% compared to the pneumotach

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Mean measurement accuracy error for Minute Ventilation

    Mean measurement accuracy error for MV across all subjects shall be ≤15% compared to the pneumotach

    Measured: 20 minutes

  5. Mean measurement bias for Respiratory Rate

    Mean measurement bias (RMS-pneumotach) for RR shall be < 2% (95% limits of agreement ±1.96 SD)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  6. Mean measurement bias for Tidal Volume

    Mean measurement bias (RMS-pneumotach) for TV shall be < 5% (95% limits of agreement ±1.96 SD)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  7. Mean measurement bias for Minute Ventilation

    Mean measurement bias (RMS-pneumotach) for MV shall be < 5% (95% limits of agreement ±1.96 SD)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  8. Tidal volume trend

    Tidal volume trend > 0.95 (r² correlation to pneumotach)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  9. Mean measurement accuracy error for number of seconds since last breath

    Mean measurement accuracy error for number of seconds since last breath across all subjects shall be ≤ 5 % (± 2 seconds) compared to the pneumotach

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Function Test and Tidal Volume, run by RTM Vital Signs, LLC at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jeffrey Joseph, DO (215-503-8032, jeffrey.joseph@rtmvitalsigns.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of RMS of the RMS system in monitoring, recording, and presenting respiratory function data to the user (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 9 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 13 Apr 2023.
