Comparative Study of Skin Prick Allergy Test Measurements Between Current Manual Procedure and Nexkin DSPT Device
Concordance Between the Electromedical Device Nexkin DSPT and the Manual Procedure in the Measurement of Papules in Allergy Skin Testing

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the concordance of measurements obtained by the Nexkin DSPT device versus the measurements obtained manually.
A prospective clinical trial study was conducted at Clínica Universidad de Navarra. SPT will be tested in the same way as during a routine visit, with the only difference being that the images of the arm required for the device to operate will be captured. Nexkin DSPT device is a non-invasive device, which does not perform the procedure of puncture and appearance of papules. The device is only used to read the test results. There is no risk to the patient or the healthcare professionals involved in capturing images with the device. Device does not provide a diagnosis and it is not a substitute for sound medical judgment.
The study will prospectively include patients attending the allergy consultation (sample size calculated in 93 patients) with positive (histamine) and negative (saline solution) controls. Fifteen minutes later, two consecutive readings with the device and two manual readings were performed by two different nurses. The area of the histamine wheals was measured automatically by Nexkin DSPT and after the manual procedure measured manually by planimetry.

- Patient over 12 years of age.
- Patient, or his/her representative, who has given consent to participate in the study.

Other: Results of reading
All patients who were prick tested and accepted to participate in the study, were prospectively included in the study in only one arm.
All of their tests were read by the device and the manual procedure.
|
A double reading of the forearm will be performed with the Nexkin DSPT device. Also, two healthcare professionals will perform, consecutively, the manual reading according to their usual practice. Nexkin DSPT device provides a semi-automatic wheal detection, presenting the user an initial set of potential wheals and information about them (as their measure). Healthcare professional can then discard, add and/or confirm wheals by visual validation, and add/edit wheal information. The device automates the test reading process, digitises the results, and quantifies. |
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Agreement in wheal size measures in allergy skin testing between the electro-medical device Nexkin DSPT and the manual measurement procedure
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
Fifteen minutes after the punctures have been performed, a double reading of the forearm shall be taken with the device. The first reading will be stored for later analysis, and the second reading will be used afterwards. The healthcare professional will then perform the manual reading and generate the manual result sheet as is standard practice. The health professional visually examines the forearm and compares his observation with the identification presented by the device. The result of the identifications made by the device as well as the interactions of the healthcare professional on the screen shall be recorded on the device. Diameter measurements are measured in millimetres (mm) and area measurements are measured in square millimetres (mm2). |

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Test-retest reliability of device reading.
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
15 minutes after the punctures have been performed, a double reading of the forearm shall be taken with the device. The first reading will be stored for later analysis, and the second reading will be used afterwards. The healthcare professional will then perform the manual reading and generate the manual result sheet as is standard practice. The health professional visually examines the forearm and compares his observation with the identification presented by the device. The result of the identifications made by the device as well as the interactions of the healthcare professional on the screen shall be recorded on the device. Diameter measurements are measured in millimetres (mm) and area measurements are measured in square millimetres (mm2). |
5 minutes
|
Variability in measurements of histamine wheals made by different health professionals.
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
15 minutes after the punctures have been performed, a reading of the forearm will be performed by the device. Then, a first healthcare professional will perform the manual reading and generate the manual result sheet as in standard practice. Immediately afterwards, the first professional will erase the contours of the wheals on the forearm of the patient. A second healthcare professional will perform the manual reading without knowing the reading performed by the first one, and will generate the manual result sheet as is done in routine practice. The reading order of each test between the two healthcare professionals is randomised. Diameter measurements are measured in millimetres (mm) and area measurements are measured in square millimetres (mm2). |
