Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective, observational open label, single center study enrolling up to 15 subjects to evaluate human factors and usability of the Pivot Breath Sensor.

Description:

The objectives of this Human Factors/Usability study are to:

• Ensure that representative intended users are able to operate the Pivot Breath Sensor independently

• Validate appropriate mitigations of use related hazards identified in risk management documentation

• Uncover previously unforeseen use errors

This human factors and usability testing is conducted to demonstrate that the Pivot Breath Sensor can be used by the intended users without serious use errors or problems, for the intended uses and under the expected use conditions.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Human Factors - User Performance in Use Scenarios Assessment With Observer Ratings	User performance of participants in intended use scenarios will be assessed at a single visit. Participants will be observed if they can set up the device, use the device, and interpret results. Observer ratings include 'Successful' and 'Unsuccessful'. Specific attention will be given to assess if any harms can occur from observed use errors.; 'Successful' = user was able to complete the task safely and effectively. Unsuccessful' = user was unable unable to complete the task independently or did not complete the task safely and effectively.; For each participant, the single visit includes the consent process, entry into the study, the study session, and conclusion of the study. The study session is completed on a single day requiring up to 60 minutes.; Observations are made throughout the study session. Assessments for individual tasks will take approximately 1 minute and assessments will be made over the study session which can last up to 60 minutes.	Each study session was completed on a single day, for up to 60 minutes. Device set up was assessed at about 5 minutes in. Device use was assessed at about 10 minutes in. Interpretation of results was assessed at about 15 and 20 minutes in.
Primary	Human Factors - User Documentation Assessment With Observer Ratings	Participant understanding of user documentation will be assessed at single visit. User documentation includes packaging information, quick start guide and user manual. Observer ratings include 'Successful' and 'Unsuccessful'.; 'Successful' = user was able to complete the task safely and effectively. Unsuccessful' = user was unable unable to complete the task independently or did not complete the task safely and effectively.; For each participant, the single visit includes the consent process, entry into the study, the study session, and conclusion of the study. The study session is completed on a single day requiring up to 60 minutes.; Observations are made throughout the study session. Assessments for individual tasks will take approximately 1 minute each. The User documentation assessment portion of the study session will last up to 30 minutes.	Each study session was completed on a single day, for up to 60 minutes. The user documentation assessment occurred at approximately 30 minutes into the study session.
Primary	Human Factors - Subjective Feedback Questionnaire	Subjective feedback focusing on any concerns on using device will be assessed at single visit. Participants will answer with a Yes or No to the questions.; For each participant, the single visit includes the consent process, entry into the study, the study session, and conclusion of the study. The study session is completed on a single day requiring up to 60 minutes.; Subjective feedback focusing on any concerns prior to the conclusion of the study session. Subjective feedback questions will take approximately 1-3 minutes each. The Subjective feedback portion of the study session will last up to 5 to 15 minutes.	Each study session was completed on a single day, for up to 60 minutes. The subjective feedback questionnaire was administered at approximately 40 minutes into the study session.
Primary	Human Factors - Participant Feedback Using Rating Scale	Participant will be asked to provide ratings on the following: How would you rate the ease or difficulty using the device?; How clear or unclear was the Quick Start Guide?; How clear or unclear was the Packaging?; How clear or unclear was the User Manual?; How easy or difficult was it to understand and interpret the test results?; The participant will use the following rating scale (higher score = better outcome): 5 - Very Easy 4 - Easy 3 - Neither Easy nor Difficult 2 - Difficult; 1 - Very difficult; For each participant, the single visit includes the consent process, entry into the study, the study session, and conclusion of the study. The study session is completed on a single day requiring up to 60 minutes.; Participant will provide the ratings prior to the conclusion of the study session. Participant assessment with questionnaire rating scales will take approximately 1-2 minutes each.	Each study session was completed on a single day, for up to 60 minutes. Participant feedback using a rating scale was provided at approximately 50 minutes into the study session.
