Study to Compare CAUTI Rates Following ERASE CAUTI Tray Silver vs Silver Coated Foley Catheters

Terminated
Conditions
Surgery
Interventions
Device: Comparator Silver Coated Catheter
Device: ERASE Silver Coated Foley Catheter
Registration Number
NCT02915692
Lead Sponsor
Medline Industries
Brief Summary

The Foley catheter is one component in a catheter insertion procedure that could contribute to a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Improvements in the catheter insertion procedure using the ERASE CAUTI Tray system may help to lower these infection rates.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Urinary tract infection rates2 days on average or until hospital discharge

Infection rate/1000 catheter days based on days of use. As the number of days a catheter is used varies, the minimum expected time frame on average is 2 days. However, infections will be monitored during catheter use.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Catheter Associated Urinary Track Infection CostsPost Infection costs incurred from insertion of catheter to hospital discharge (<30 days)

Costs associated with urinary track Infections during the use of a catheter in the study will calculated from the time infection was identified until hospital discharge.

Catheter use2 days on average or until hospital discharge

The average number of days a catheter is used is typically 2 days. However during the hospital stay, the time a catheter remains varies on medical need. The total daily use of each catheter will be tabulated after removal..
