Pilot Clinical Evaluation of the RHEA Vital Sign Vigilance System in Hospital Patients

April 12, 2019 updated by: Darma Inc.
This study compares both of the investigational device and reference device to the gold standard Patient Monitor of the accuracy of heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring. The primary variables for the analysis of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) are each of the overall mean roots mean square difference (RMSD). Results of the investigational device and reference device compared with the patient monitor is evaluated to see if there are equivalent. Motion and bed exit accuracy will be evaluated by comparing with the manual observation.

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.

Detailed Description

Tests (periods 1 and 2), one of the contact-free devices will be used to monitor the HR and RR, while being compared with the Patient Monitor. The RHEA investigational device and reference device will be used to monitor the same subject at different times, as the sensors of the two devices are placed at a similar location of the bed. HR and RR will be recorded for all three devices.

The primary hypotheses for HR, are as follows:

Adults HO: μ = 3.25 vs. HA: μ < 3.25

The primary hypotheses for RR, are as follows:

Adults HO: μ = 2.25 vs. HA: μ < 2.25 where μ represents the population mean HR or RR. If the upper bound of the confidence interval is less than the hypothesized value, the corresponding null hypothesis will be rejected. Comparison of the performance of the two contract-free devices will be performed on the recorded results via statistical analysis. The hypothesis here is that the two devices have equivalent performance. The third test will assess the ability of the RHEA device to accurately detect motion in or exit from the bed, as compared to the manual observation. Motion and no motion accuracy will each be calculated along with their respective two-sided 95% confidence intervals.

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.
