Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Thoraguard Surgical Drainage System in a
real-world clinical environment. It is believed that this system will offer functional and
clinical benefits over the current standard of care system for the removal of surgical fluids
following cardiac surgery. Observations, experiences, and outcomes in a single hospital
setting will be collected for the Thoraguard Surgical Drainage System.
Detailed Description
The Thoraguard System is intended for use for drainage of blood, fluids, and gases following
cardiac and thoracic surgery. The system consists of an electronic control module, drainage
kit (fluid collection canister and drainage line), and chest tube kit with novel chest tube.
The system continuously monitors chest tube and drainage line patency, automatically clears
the chest tube and drainage line from build-up, and provides digital readings of fluid output
trends. Additionally, the system has patient safety alarms to notify clinical staff of an
unexpected event associated with post-operative drainage. These functions offer significant
improvements over current standard of care. Reliable post-operative drainage, reduced
workload, and decreased variability in chest tube maintenance procedures have the potential
to increase patient safety, reduce complications, and improve patient experience.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
