Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Automated Measurement of Vital Signs
Interventions
Device: Vital Signs Patch (VSP) System 1-Lead (PAL) Configuration
Device: Vital Signs Patch (VSP) System 3-Lead (NEHB) Configuration
Registration Number
NCT02518100
Lead Sponsor
LifeWatch Services, Inc.
Brief Summary

This feasibility study evaluates the use of the Vital Signs Patch (VSP) System to take and monitor specified vital signs. It will be used in parallel with the normal equipment the study site uses to take and monitor vital signs.

Detailed Description

To assess the feasibility and usability of the total Vital Signs Patch (VSP) System in an actual hospital environment on in-patients by monitoring specified vital signs. The VSP System will be assessed for incorporation into the study site's Information Technology infrastructure. The VSP measurements will be compared with the predetermined expected results of the established vital signs equipment normally used by the facility based upon clinician protocols.

The VSP System can take and monitor patient vital signs in a more reliable and consistent manner by removing the human variability that occurs when clinicians manually take a patient's vital signs. The VSP has been designed to automatically take and monitor the following vital signs:

* Arterial blood oxygen Saturation (SpO2)

* ECG (up to 3 - Lead)

* Heart Rate (Part of ECG)

* Surface Temperature

* Respiration

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite Outcome Measure - Successful Vital Signs AcquisitionUp to Four Days

Successful acquisition of Temperature, Heart Rate, ECG, Respiration, SpO2 daily for the inpatient stay of the subject up to four days. Success is achieved if all vital signs are obtained on a study participant. It is a composite result.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AdhesionUp to Four Days

Successful performance of the adhesive of the vital signs patch during use on subjects. Adhesion will be measured as either positive or negative for each subject.
