Evaluation of SenseGuard™- a Noninvasive Respiratory Rate Measuring Device

Condition Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of SenseGuard™ - a Noninvasive Respiratory Rate Measuring Device for Adult Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The SenseGuard™ is a new respiratory rate measuring and logging non-invasive device, and measures the respiratory rate by responding to changes in air moisture content in exhaled air. A prospective single-center, single arm study, designed to assess the bias, accuracy , precision and safety of the SenseGuard™ device in measuring of respiratory rate in adult patients. The study shall include a single invitational visit with a respiratory rate measurement duration of 30 minutes for each of 25 adult subjects hospitalized in internal wards.Subjects will be invited to participate should they meet all of the eligibility criteria. Following informed consent, subjects will be measured with both Microstream capnograph and SenseGuard™ measuring simultaneously so their results can be compared.

Clinical Trial Description

Study description:

Respiratory rate (RR) is a vital sign used to monitor clinical condition of a patient. It is defined as the number of breaths per minute. Various devices using different techniques are available to measure RR. Currently this is measured at the bedside in clinical practice by counting the breaths, however the gold standard for measuring this vital sign is the capnograph. For the patient, this involves limiting the movement and talking so that the measurements can be taken.

A new respiratory rate measuring and logging device, SenseGuard™, is non-invasive and measures the respiratory rate by responding to changes in air moisture content (small amounts of water condensation) in exhaled air.

The study is planned as a prospective single-center, single arm study, designed to assess the bias, accuracy , precision and safety of the SenseGuard™ non-invasive device in measuring of respiratory rate in adult patients.

Subjects will be invited to participate should they meet all of the eligibility criteria. Following informed consent, subjects will be measured with both Microstream capnograph and SenseGuard™ measuring simultaneously so their results can be compared.

Study population:

25 hospitalized patients from Internal/General wards aged 18 and older.

Objective:
