A Study Evaluating the Clinical Performance of the ViaValve™ Safety IV Catheter (ViaValve-001)

April 18, 2014 updated by: Smiths Medical, ASD, Inc.

A Post-market, Randomized Study Evaluating the Clinical Performance of the ViaValve™ Safety IV Catheter

The objective of this post-market, prospective study is to evaluate the clinical acceptability, blood leakage, risk for blood exposure, need for digital compression, insertion success, and clinical utility of the ViaValve™ Safety IV Catheter compared to standard hospital PIVCs currently being used.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
150

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A peripheral intravenous catheter will need to be inserted in order to gain access to a vein or artery to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenous infusion as part of treatment.
  • Willing and able to sign an Informed Consent (patient or legally authorized representative).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Body morphology (e.g., size) precludes the use of a peripheral intravenous catheter.
  • Fluid to be infused is not appropriate for peripheral intravenous catheters.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical acceptability of PIVC insertion
Time Frame: Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion
Demonstrate non-inferiority of the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter compared to the control PIVC for ratings of clinical acceptability. Clinicians will agree or disagree that the device was clinically acceptable for the insertion.
Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion
Frequency of blood leakage
Time Frame: Clinicians will report if blood leakage occurred immediately after the catheter insertion
Demonstrate superiority of the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter compared to the control in preventing blood leakage from the catheter hub during insertion.
Clinicians will report if blood leakage occurred immediately after the catheter insertion
Eliminating risk of blood exposure
Time Frame: Clinicians will report on the ability of the PIVC to eliminate blood exposure immediately after catheter insertion
Demonstrate superiority of the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter compared to the control PIVC in eliminating the clinician's risk of blood exposure during the insertion process.
Clinicians will report on the ability of the PIVC to eliminate blood exposure immediately after catheter insertion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Insertion success
Time Frame: Clinicians will report if the insertion was successful immediately after performing insertion
Demonstrate the insertion success rate of the ViaValve™ I.V. Catheter is non-inferior to the control PIVC. Insertion success defined as a catheter confirmed successfully placed within the selected vessel in 3 or fewer venipuncture attempts.
Clinicians will report if the insertion was successful immediately after performing insertion
Elimination of digital compression
Time Frame: Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion
Demonstrate that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter is non-inferior to the control PIVC in eliminating the clinician's need to use digital compression during the insertion process. Clinicians will agree or disagree the device eliminates the need for digital compression after each PIVC insertion.
Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion
Ease of Use
Time Frame: Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion
Demonstrate that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter is non-inferior to the control PIVC in seven measures of ease of use. Clinicians will agree or disagree with seven statements regarding ease of use/clinical utility.
Clinicians will provide the rating immediately after performing the insertion

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
