Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Normal Tissue Red Notification Rate
Time Frame: 24 Hours
The ivWatch Model 400 issues red notifications to communicate the need for a clinician to check an IV site. A red notification suggests an increased likelihood that an IV infiltration may be occurring, with a greater likelihood relative to a yellow notification. This measure describes the average number of red notifications issued by the ivWatch device in a given day when monitoring normal, non-infiltrated tissues. The 95% confidence interval for the red notification rate was calculated using a negative binomial regression model.
Secondary Outcomes
- Normal Tissue Yellow Notification Rate(24 Hours)
- Significant Skin Irritation or Disruption to Skin Integrity(24 Hours)
