A Study Comparing Use of Manual and Power Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy Devices in Children

August 8, 2014 updated by: Chatchawin Assanasen, MD, Vidacare Corporation

A Trial of the Vidacare Powered Bone Marrow Aspiration and Core Biopsy System (OnControl by Vidacare) Compared to Traditional Manual Devices in Children

The purpose of this study is to compare use of a powered bone marrow aspiration and biopsy device (OnControl) to use of a standard manual bone marrow aspiration and biopsy device to obtain bone marrow biopsy specimens in children. The hypothesis is that use of the powered device will improve the quantity and quality of bone marrow biopsy specimens when compared to the manual device.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The purpose of this randomized, prospective trial is to compare use of the standard manual bone marrow aspiration and biopsy device to use of the powered bone marrow aspiration and biopsy device (OnControl) to obtain bone marrow biopsy specimens in pediatric patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of Hematopoietic Tissue Present in Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimens Obtained Using the Manual Device and Powered Device
Time Frame: within 24 hours of bone marrow sampling procedure
Bone marrow biopsy specimens will be evaluated by a blinded pathologist and measured for percent of hematopoietic tissue present. Higher percentage of hematopoietic tissue present in a biopsy specimen indicates a larger quantity of specimen for pathological evaluation.
within 24 hours of bone marrow sampling procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimen Size (Length) Obtained Using the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
bone marrow biopsy specimens will be evaluated by a blinded pathologist and measured for length.
within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimen Size (Width) Obtained Using the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
bone marrow biopsy specimens will be evaluated by a blinded pathologist and measured for width.
within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimen Size (Volume) Obtained Using the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
bone marrow biopsy specimens will be evaluated by a blinded pathologist and measured for volume
within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimen Capture Rate for the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
number of needle passes required to capture one bone marrow biopsy specimen using the manual device and the powered device
at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Amount of Time Lapsed From Needle to Skin Contact to Bone Marrow Aspiration Specimen Acquisition Using the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
measurement of the amount of time required to acquire a bone marrow aspiration specimen. timing starts when the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy needle first contacts the skin and ends when the aspiration specimen has been collected.
at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Patient Level of Post-procedural Pain Following Use of the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: within 4 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Within 4 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure, the patient will report their level of pain post-procedure using the Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale. The scale measures pain from 0-10, where higher numbers represent worse pain.
within 4 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Operator Satisfaction With Manual Device and Powered Device
Time Frame: Within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Device operators will report their level of satisfaction with use of the manual device and the powered device to perform the bone marrow sampling procedure. Level of satisfaction is reported using a 0 to 10 scale, where higher numbers represent a higher level of satisfaction.
Within 24 hours of the bone marrow sampling procedure
Amount of Time Lapsed From Needle to Skin Contact to Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimen Acquisition Using the Manual Device and the Powered Device
Time Frame: at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
measurement of the amount of time required to acquire one bone marrow biopsy specimen. timing starts when the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy needle first contacts the skin and ends when the biopsy specimen has been collected.
at time of the bone marrow sampling procedure
