About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Uncontrolled, Open-label Healthy Volunteer Study to Assess the Performance of the PureWick™ Male and PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter Devices in Adolescents

A prospective, uncontrolled, open-label healthy volunteer study to assess the performance of the PureWick Male and PureWick Flex Female external catheter devices in adolescents

Read the detailed description

The objective of this healthy volunteer study is to understand if external catheters are an effective alternative in the adolescent population in both male and female adolescents. The main question it aims to answer is: Do the PureWick Male and PureWick Flex female external catheters effectively capture urine in the adolescent population after both healthcare professional placement and self-placement? Participants will void while wearing the external catheter two times and answer brief questionnaires assessing perceived wetness, IFU comprehension, comfort and ease of use. Total study participation time is 2-3 hours in a single day.

What participants receive

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

  • PureWick SystemDevice

    The PureWick System consists of the PureWick Urine Collection System used with either the PureWick Male External Catheter or the PureWick Flex Female External Catheter, which are intended for non-invasive urine output management.

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of the PureWick System in Adolescents After HCP Placement and Self-placement

    Capture rate following void (captured as % of urine captured by device and collected in canister, measured by weight).

    Prior to each void, the weight of the empty urine collection canister and the weight of a dry absorbent pad are collected. Participants void into the device while laying in a bed with the absorbent pad underneath them. After each void, the post-void weight of the urine collection canister and the post-void weight of the absorbent pad are collected.

    Capture rate is calculated as the weight of captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) / total urine volume (captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) + leaked urine (post-void pad weight - pre-void pad weight)) * 100.

    Measured: Approximately 2 hours after device placement

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Participant Comfort

    Overall comfort on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1- 5 with higher scores indicating a better outcome, where 1 = Very Uncomfortable, 2 = Uncomfortable, 3 = Neither Comfortable or Uncomfortable, 4 = Comfortable, and 5 = Very Comfortable.

    The last survey question related to likelihood to recommend the device ranged from 1-5 with higher scores indicating a better outcome, where 1 = Very Unlikely, 2 = Unlikely, 3 = Neither Likely Nor Unlikely, 4 - Likely, and 5 = Very Likely.

    Measured: Approximately 2 hours after device placement

  2. Participant Ease of Use

    Ease of use score on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1- 5 with higher scores indicating a better outcome, where 1 = Very Difficult, 2 = Somewhat Difficult, 3 = Average Difficulty, 4 = Somewhat Easy

    Measured: Approximately 2 hours after device placement

  3. IFU Comprehension

    Overall IFU comprehension on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1- 5 with higher scores indicating a better outcome, where 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, and 5 = Strongly Agree.

    Measured: Approximately 2 hours after device placement

  4. HCP Ease of Use

    Ease of use score on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1- 5 with higher scores indicating a better outcome, where 1 = Very Difficult, 2 = Somewhat Difficult, 3 = Average Difficulty, 4 = Somewhat Easy, and 5 = Very Easy.

    Measured: From date of first enrollment until the date of last patient completion, approximately 4 weeks
