About this study

Official title: The Purpose of This Study is to Verify the Performance of the Neutral Electrode (NE) Adhesives in Accordance With the Testing Specified in IEC 60601-2-2:2017, Section 201.15.101.7, Pull Test.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the neutral electrode 21pad adhesion to the skin in accordance with international standard IEC 60601-2-2 section 201.15.101.7. A neutral electrode is placed on the body of patients undergoing surgery that involves the use of electric current, to protect them from the harmful effects of the electricity.

Read the detailed description

Two neutral electrodes will be applied to the front of your thighs. The study staff will set up and attach a pulley system to the neutral electrodes. The purpose of the pulley system is to apply a force pulling the neutral electrode away from your body. The force will be applied for 10 minutes on each neutral electrode in one direction, and then for another 10 minutes in a second direction. Site staff will mark any areas of separation and the neutral electrodes will be removed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Tests With No More Than 5% Separation - Neutral Electrode (NE) Adhesive Separation

    To determine the percentage of adhesion separation by only measuring test results that had no more than 5% of the NE adhesive area separated.

    At Point A where the NE connects to the pad, connect a cord to pull on the cable. Pull for 10 to 10.25 minutes, in a plane parallel to the NE pad and in a direction away from the center of the pad, with 10 to 11N (1.02 to 1.12kg) of force in the direction along the minor dimension of the pad. Set the height of the pulley so that the direction of pull shall be approximately co-planer with the plane of the connection point of the NE. The pull shall be performed by a cord connected to the NE at the cable connection point. See Figure 2 for the pull set up. The weights provide the required pull force. Start timer. At 10 mins, change direction of pull to y direction by rotating the pulley system 90 degrees as shown in Figure 2 - apply 10 to 11 N force at Point A in direction of y ray which is in a plane parallel to the pad.

    Start timer. At 10 mins

    Measured: Up to 20 minutes - (10 minutes w. Pull for 10 to 10.25 minutes, in a plane parallel to the NE pad & At 10 mins, change direction of pull to y direction)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adhesion of the Neutral Electrode 21pad, run by Medline Industries 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 17 Oct 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Tests With No More Than 5% Separation - Neutral Electrode (NE) Adhesive Separation (time frame: Up to 20 minutes - (10 minutes w. Pull for 10 to 10.25 minutes, in a plane parallel to the NE pad & At 10 mins, change direction of pull to y direction)). 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 17 Oct 2024.
