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.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Up to 120 newborns will be selected for this study. A variety of subjects will be targeted for inclusion representing differing stages of development and environments

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Parent or legal guardian is willing and able to provide informed consent prior to any study procedures being performed.
  • Subject is expected to be able to participate for the duration of the evaluation in the delivery room. In most instances, the length of the study will not exceed the anticipated duration of ECG monitoring.
  • Subject is ≥ 29 weeks gestational age.
  • Subject can accommodate multiple sensors.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects that have an existing health condition, in which the investigator determines that safe or accurate oximetry measures may not be obtained at the areas where the PO sensor could be placed. For example, major congenital anomalies, limb anomalies or anyone with abrasions or surface lesions on the contact areas would be excluded.
  • Any subject whose treatment or condition would be compromised if they were to participate in this study and any patient whose use of a pulse oximeter and sensor would present a potential for serious risk to health, safety, or welfare.
  • Currently participating in any other study expected to confound study results in the opinion of the investigator.

Newborn
A variety of subjects will be targeted for inclusion representing differing stages of development and environments
Device: OxySoftN™ Neonatal-Adult SpO2 Sensor with N600X Nellcor™ Patient Monitoring System
The Nellcor™ N-600x Pulse Oximetry System with N-600X Pulse Oximeter and Nellcor™ Sensors and Cables with OxiMax technology is indicated for prescription use only for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and PR. The N-600x Pulse Oximeter is intended for use with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are either well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments.
Device: LNCS® NEO SpO2 Sensor with RAD-97™ Pulse CO-Oximeter
The Masimo Rad-97™ and accessories are indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, PR, carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb), and/or acoustic respiratory rate (RRa). The Masimo Rad-97™ and accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused. In addition, the Masimo Rad-97™ and accessories are indicated to provide the continuous non-invasive monitoring data obtained from the Masimo Rad-97™ and accessories for functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and PR to multi-parameter devices for the display on those devices.
Device: 1041PTS (or similar) Kendall™ Neonatal Electrodes with IntelliVue MP5 Portable Patient Monitor

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
Time Frame
To compare time to stable signal of heart rate (HR) estimation between two pulse oximeters (PO).
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
To compare overall accuracy of heart rate (HR) estimation between two pulse oximeters (PO) as compared to gold standard electrocardiography (ECG).
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.

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
Time Frame
To evaluate instances of false bradycardia.
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
To evaluate instances of false bradycardia requiring emergency medical treatment.
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
To evaluate variability in PR between the two PO sensors
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
To compare the number of repositions and replacements required for the two PO sensors during monitoring.
Time Frame: Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Subject participation is expected to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
