About this study

The GlucoMe device, in its original packaging, along with the user manual and QuickStart guide will be provided to the patient in a simulated home use environment. The patient labeling will be in the format intended for distribution.

Ten (10) subjects identified as potential end users of the GlucoMe device will receive the user manual. An additional ten (10) subjects also identified as potential end users of the GlucoMe device will NOT receive the user manual. All subjects will be provided with a pre-test and post-test questionnaire and a list of tasks to complete, including applying and operating the device.

The observer and user post-test questionnaire will collect information regarding device use. The device's use will be compared with identified risks to determine if the percentage of failures is within the study protocol success criteria. Additionally, measurable usability criteria for specific, critical steps will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Twenty (20) subjects identified as potential end users of the device will be recruited to the study and screened according to the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be asked to sign informed consent. The GlucoMe device, in its original packaging, along with the user manual and QuickStart guide will be provided to the patient in a simulated home-use environment. The patient labeling will be in the format intended for distribution.

Ten (10) subjects identified as potential end users of the GlucoMe device will receive the user manual and QuickStart guide. An additional ten (10) subjects also identified as potential end users of the GlucoMe device will not receive the user manual, but will receive the QuickStart guide. All subjects will be provided with a pre-test and post-test questionnaire and a list of tasks to complete, including applying and operating the device.

The observer examination and user post-test questionnaire will collect information regarding device use. The device's use will be compared with identified risks to determine if the percentage of failures is within the study protocol success criteria. Additionally, measurable usability criteria for specific, critical steps will be evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Operating the GlucoMe device: obtaining a glucose reading and recording the results

    Using the device, with or without the user manual, all 20 subjects tested were able to complete device related tasks, including starting the application, operating the GlucoMe device and obtaining a glucose reading and recording the results, in a timeframe of up to 1 hour and with minimal attempts to ask for assistance; and Using the device and the user manual. Considering that the GlucoMe is a low risk device, and the probability of an occurrence and the severity of a failure are low, a success rate of 100% potential end user subjects passing may be considered acceptable for the over the counter use of the device. Any failures to complete the device related tasks and/or self-exclude from use of the device must be explained.

    Measured: 1 Hour

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to completion of obtaining a glucose reading using the application and device

    The following measurable usability criteria for specific, critical steps, based on observer evaluation or user post-test questionnaire responses, will be assessed through analysis of the data following the study:

    Time-to-completion of task; Time to completion of obtaining a glucose reading using the application and device will be measured by the observer for both arms and will be analysed

    Measured: 1 Hour

  2. Frequency of attempts to ask for assistance during the use of the device and application

    Frequency of attempts to ask for assistance will be documented by the observer for both arms and will be analysed

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Participants' level of success in completing tasks related to the use of the device and application

    Numerical ratings describing the participants' level of success in completing tasks will be collected through user post-test questionnaire responses, for both arms and will be analysed

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. Documenting specific user errors and inefficiencies related to the use of the device and application

    Qualitative information regarding specific user errors and inefficiencies will be collected through observer evaluation and user post-test questionnaire responses, for both arms and will be analysed

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GlucoMe Glucose Monitoring Device in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by GlucoMe.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Operating the GlucoMe device: obtaining a glucose reading and recording the results (time frame: 1 Hour). 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 22 Sep 2020.
