Comparison of AccuCath IV Catheter and Conventional IV Catheter in Interventional Radiology

Vascular Access Complications Clinical Trial

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Comparison of First Attempt Success Between the AccuCath Intravenous System With Retractable Coiled Tip Guide Wire and Conventional Peripheral Intravenous Catheters With Interventional Radiology Nurses

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will test a hypothesis that the AccuCath™ System will have a higher rate of successful first attempt peripheral IV placement and higher clinician and patient satisfaction compared to Conventional IV Catheters.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is designed to evaluate user/physician preference as it relates to use of a 510(k) cleared vascular access peripheral IV catheter device compared with peripheral IV conventional needle/catheter devices, in terms of first stick success rates, adverse events and overall user and patient satisfaction. As noted above, the study is designed to formally test the hypothesis that the AccuCath™ System will exhibit superiority in terms of the rate of successful first attempt peripheral IV placement and higher user and patient satisfaction compared to Conventional IV Catheters. ;
