Brief Summary

Total participants in the "Functionality and Accuracy of the smART System in Real-Life ICU Settings" are 10 participants - in the current Sheba study site there were 2 participants and in the Jefferson study site (identifier NCT03198988) there were 8 participants. This study is conducted in order to validate the functionality and accuracy of the smART™ System in a real-life ICU setting. The smART™ Feeding Tube System is a novel system with nasogastric tube developed by ART Medical (Healthcare) Ltd, based on sensor-lined tubes that transmit real-time information to an external console. The smART™ feeding tube is equipped with reflux sensors which alert when gastric contents regurgitating into the esophagus. In addition, the smART™ feeding tube is equipped with sensors designed to provide information about the location of the tube thus assisting in reducing the incident of misplacement during first positioning. The smART™ feeding tube is also automatically and in real-time stops feeding if the feeding tube moves out of position during ongoing use or detect gastric content in esophagus. Furthermore, smART™ Feeding Tube System can guide operator to correctly re-position the tube. Lastly the smART™ Feeding Tube System is equipped with an anti-reflux mechanism and automatic Gastric Residual Volume (GRV).
