Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Initial Specimen Diversion Device When Collected Through Peripheral Intravenous Catheters

August 9, 2017 updated by: Magnolia Medical Technologies, Inc.

A Randomized, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the MMT Initial Specimen Diversion Device in Reducing Blood Culture Contamination Compared to Laboratory Standard Procedures When Collected Through Peripheral Intravenous Catheters (PIVC)

This is a randomized, open label study to evaluate the Initial Specimen Diversion Device (ISDD) in reducing the contamination rate in blood culture analysis. Blood culture data will be derived from inpatient and/or outpatient settings in a variety of hospital departments (e.g. ER, surgical, medical, etc.). Only samples that are collected via PIVC's may be included in this study. The ISDD will be compared to current laboratory practices for the collection of blood for culture purposes. Laboratory Standard Procedures (LSP) is defined as collection of venipuncture blood for culture without an initial diversion method to divert and sequester potential blood contaminants.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Initial Specimen Diversion Device (ISDD)
The ISDD will be used to collect the blood culture.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Lab standard practice (LSP)
The ISDD will not be used to collect the blood culture. Standard blood culture specimen collection kits will be utilized.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Evaluate the rate of blood culture contamination using the Initial Specimen Diversion Device (ISDD) compared to Laboratory Standard Procedures (LSP) when collected through PIVC
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate the occurrence of any adverse device effects
Time Frame: Baseline
As the device under study enhances the blood diversion procedure during blood culture collection, and is part of standard blood collection standards, adverse device effects are not expected as a result of use of this device. Any issues with the function of the device will be reported by the phlebotomist on a device incident form. The sponsor will maintain these reports in a database. As this is a commercially available device, medical device reporting shall be performed in accordance with 21 CFR 803, as applicable.

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Evaluate the contamination rates, taking into account the confounding effects of blood draw setting and departure from direct-to-media (DTM) technique
