Capillary Blood Volume and Pain Perception Obtained in a Process of Puncturing With Different Safety Lancets
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Registration Number
- NCT03752229
- Lead Sponsor
- HTL-Strefa S.A.
- Brief Summary
The study was a randomized, single blind, uni-center pivotal study in male and female healthy volunteers, to determine capillary blood volume and pain perception obtained in a process of puncturing with different safety lancets.
A group of three hundred (300) Caucasian male and female Subjects was randomized (aged \> 18 to \< 65 years old) who were in good physical and mental condition. The Subjects had 4 (four) fingers (two fingers from each hand) lanced each with a different type of safety lancet. Overall, 4 (four) different safety lancets were investigated per each Subject.
Overall, 48 (forty eight) different safety lancets (4 different safety lancets per one Subject) were investigated, the capillary blood volume and pain were measured.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Volume (microliters) of blood in the capillary tube The blood volume was noted until the end of bleeding or up to 2 minutes time The amount of capillary blood volume collected after a single lancing of the fingertip.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain perception after 30 minutes ± 5 min after lancing The intensity of pain perceived by the patient was assessed with the use of the numeric Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The Subject marked on the scale the number from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst imaginable pain") that represented their perception of pain. A higher score indicated greater pain intensity.
