Clinical Trial 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).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Verify correct tube placement detection by the system To verify that the system is able to automatically detect correct tube placement during on-going use. By using an X-ray. 56 -168 hours
Primary Verify correct tube movement detection by the system To verify that the system is able to automatically detect tube movement/displacement during on-going use. By comparing the data collected by the system sensors and the marking on the tube. 56 -168 hours
Secondary Impedance levels To record and analyze impedance levels in order to recognize reflux episodes, measured in ohm. 56 -168 hours
Secondary Stop feeding To verify that the system stops feeding when the tube is misplaced or reflux is detected by comparing the machine state to the nurses' logs. 56 -168 hours
Secondary Clinical staff feedback by using a scale from 1 to 5 Obtain feedback from clinical staff regarding device usability during use by using a questionnaire filled by the staff members.
A Likert scale is used to asses usability of the device based on subjective user experience, where 1 represents negative response and 5 represents a positive response.
56 -168 hours
Secondary Reflux episodes in relation to patient position To Collect data regarding the occurrence of reflux episodes in relation to patient positioning. 56 -168 hours
Secondary Discarded nutritional supplement To quantify the amount of discarded nutritional supplement. 56 -168 hours
Secondary No damage to esophagus tissue To evaluate the esophagus tissue for any damage caused by the smART system by means of performing an endoscopic examination after removing the device. 56 -168 hours
Secondary Aspiration of gastric contents by monitoring the contents of the endotracheal tube suction To evaluate the effectiveness of the System to reduce aspiration of gastric contents. By monitoring the contents of the endotracheal tube suction. 56 -168 hours
