Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare cardiac output results obtained using the thermodilution push technique with the Pulmonary Arterial Catheter (PAC) to the predicted cardiac output results obtained from the non-invasive FloWave™ 1000 device. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 95 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Any patient that has a Swan Ganz PAC catheter in place.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults Only: The FloWave device is intended for use on adult patients only. All subjects will be 18 years or older.
  • Existing placement of a Pulmonary Arterial Catheter placed for medical reasons other than our study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with aortic balloon pumps and cardiac mechanical assist devices will be excluded from study enrollment if the devices are present during the screening process. If patients have cardiac assist devices inserted after enrollment in the study, cardiac output data will be collected with both the PAC and FloWave device and will be evaluated as a subset analysis population at the conclusion of the study.
  • Patients with intracardiac shunts will be excluded from this study.
  • FloWave cardiac output determinations are dependent on detection of a pulse. If no peripheral pulse can be detected the device will not be able to perform a measurement and this will be indicated to the user.
  • Patients who are not in a steady hemodynamic state shall be excluded from the study.
  • Presence of arrhythmias: Patients with arrhythmias are excluded from the study when not in a steady hemodynamic state. If a patient has a history of arrhythmia or is currently experiencing an arrhythmia but is in a maintained hemodynamic state, they will not be excluded from enrollment into the study. Their clinical symptoms and cardiac rhythm will be evaluated and noted in the patient data record.
  • Inability or unwillingness of subject or the subject's legally authorized representative to give informed consent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by Woolsthorpe Technologies, LLC at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of FloWave 1000™ Device estimated cardiac output results with Pulmonary Catheter Themodilution Push derived cardiac output results. (time frame: Simultaneous data collection during procedure. No follow-up required.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jul 2008.
