Sparkle Respiratory Effort Validation

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Sleep Apnea, Obstructive
Sleep Apnea, Central
Interventions
Device: Sparkle
Registration Number
NCT04630639
Lead Sponsor
Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global
Brief Summary

This study has been developed in order to demonstrate the validity of the Sparkle respiratory effort signal.

Detailed Description

The rationale for undertaking this study is to demonstrate that the agreement between the Sparkle respiratory effort signal amplitude and esophageal manometry is non-inferior to the agreement between the thoracic belt respiratory effort signal amplitude and esophageal manometry. Data collection will be completed within a single visit, in which participants will undergo simultaneous measurement using the Sparkle device, respiratory belts, and esophageal manometry. Data collection will be completed during wakefulness, while participants undergo a series of breathing maneuvers.

  • At risk for excessive bleeding including use of anticoagulants;
  • An employee, or spouse of an employee, of a company that designs, sells, or manufactures sleep related products (including Philips);

Primary Outcome Measures

Breath amplitude correlationBaseline

The primary endpoint is the average correlation co-efficient of the breath amplitude sequences extracted from the Sparkle and esophageal manometry respiratory effort signals, with respect to the average correlation co-efficient of the breath amplitude sequences extracted from the thoracic belt and esophageal manometry respiratory effort signals.
