Feasibility of the UriCap-F for Urine Collection in Hospitalized Women

September 17, 2015 updated by: G.R. Dome Medical Ltd.
The study will evaluate safety and effectiveness of the UriCap-F, a non-invasive urine collection device for women, in hospitalized patients who would otherwise be treated with an indwelling catheter, pads or diapers.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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.

Detailed Description

Following various disease conditions such as trauma, orthopaedic surgery, and infections etc., patients may be bedridden and unable to void in a bedpan or to make their way to the toilet. For lack of a better solution for urinary management, indwelling catheter and diaper use is common in hospitalized patients. There is no externally applied urine collection device on the market today for women. In such situations an indwelling catheter is often placed to relieve patients while they are incapacitated, despite lack of urinary retention. Indwelling catheters, although effective, are associated with discomfort, pain, and urinary tract infections. In other cases diapers or absorbent pads may be used. These may be associated with skin irritation and infection.

The study will evaluate the UriCap-F, non-invasive urine collection devices for women, in hospitalized patients who are able to void or who are incontinent of urine

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 (Anticipated)

Enrollment

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

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female ≥ 18 years old
  • Empties the bladder completely on voiding
  • A clinical indication for an indwelling catheter, use of pads or diapers
  • Patient has signed an informed consent form, is cooperative and willing to complete all study procedures
  • Absence of localized disease at the site of device application - vaginal discharge, itching, inflammation or skin condition
  • Agrees to genital hair removal.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Menstruation at time of enrolment
  • Known allergy to silicon

  • Urinary retention - Post-void residual urine more than 300cc
  • Hematuria or pyuria (turbidity) on visual inspection, according to investigator judgement.
  • Diagnosed with acute renal failure according, to investigator judgement.
  • Serious or unstable psychological condition (e.g., eating disorders, clinical depression, anxiety, emotionally labile) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the patient's well-being or successful participation in the study
  • Participating in another clinical study.
  • Financial interest in the Sponsor Company or a competitor company by patient or a family member

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: UriCap-F

The UriCap-F is an FDA cleared Class I device intended for urinary management in women.

The device is comprised of a multiple use unit and a single use unit. The multiple use unit is intended to be reused by the same patient for up to 30 days. It is removed every 24 hours, rinsed under running water, dried and re-applied.

The UriCap is held in position by means of a single-use medically approved adhesive tape.
Device: UriCap-F

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
Number of Adverse Device Events
Time Frame: 1-30 days
1-30 days
Use Safety as demonstrated by System Usability Score assessed by healthcare providers
Time Frame: 1 week
1 week
Effectiveness of the device to collect urine
Time Frame: 1-30 days

Multiple variables will be assessed and their measurements aggregated to arrive at a number of events reported:

  • Leakage
  • Pooling of urine in the tubing
  • Tubing disconnections
  • Adhesive tape disconnections
  • Need for repositioning of device
  • Device malfunctions
1-30 days
Patient satisfaction in device use
Time Frame: 1-30 days
Overall treatment satisfaction will be assessed by means of a "Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire" administered at termination of device use.
1-30 days
Healthcare provider (HCP) satisfaction
Time Frame: up to 60 days
Treatment satisfaction will be assessed by means of a "Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire" administered after termination of all study patients
up to 60 days
Patient Comfort
Time Frame: 1-30 days
Comfort will be assessed by means of the "Universal Pain Assessment Scale" of 1-10, At every device application, every removal, and when patient complains of discomfort or pain.
1-30 days

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
Effectiveness of defined device cleaning procedure for reuse
Time Frame: 1-30 days
The reusable part will be visually inspected after cleaning for suitability for reuse. Devices which exhibit any of the following properties will be discarded: color change, residual soiling, loss of mechanical integrity, torn or rough edges. Effectiveness of the cleaning procedure will be measured as the average number of days the device can be reused.
1-30 days
Leakage as a result of device movement
Time Frame: 1-30 days
To evaluate the correlation between leakage and device repositioning data
1-30 days
