What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Measurement of PPG waveformsDevice

    Also called ViSi Monitor

    The ViSi Vital Signs Monitor will measure PPG waveforms for 4 hours.

  • Measurement of Pulse Arrival Time (PAT)Device

    Also called ViSi Monitor

    The ViSi Vital Signs Monitor will measure PAT waveforms for 4 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of PPG waveforms and Measurement of Pulse Arrival Time (PAT) in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Sotera Wireless, Inc. at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Anoop Karippot, M.D. ((858) 412-7362, karippot@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of pulse arrival time in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. (time frame: 4 - 8 hours). 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 15 Apr 2013.
