Brief summary

The primary objective of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility of recruiting eligible patients for the purposes of assessing the temporal aspects and rates of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), based on the agreed-upon case definition so that the numbers needed for a pivotal study can be better estimated.

Detailed description

This pilot study will be a prospective, single site, randomized clinical investigation comparing the safety and effectiveness of the ICET TIC antimicrobial Foley catheter, against the infection control standard-of-care, the BARD ® LUBRI-SIL® I.C. Foley catheter. Approximately 160 patients will be screened. The study has been designed to enroll approximately 120 eligible subjects to obtain about 60 evaluable subjects (30 in each arm). Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled into the study and randomly assigned to the experimental or standard-of-care group in a 1:1 ratio.

Interventions

DEVICEICET™ TIC Foley Catheter

The device to be evaluated in this investigation is a silver-based antimicrobial coated Foley catheter connected to an antimicrobial anti-reflux accessory (ICET Inc, Norwood, MA). The closed system is referred to as the TIC system and is designed with the objective of reducing the incidence of CAUTI. The accessory is non-tissue contacting.

DEVICEBARD® LUBRI-SIL® IC Foley Catheter

The LUBRI-SIL® I.C. antimicrobial 100% silicone Foley catheter incorporates a formulation consisting of BACTI-GUARD®\* silver alloy coating and BARD® hydrogel.

DAYS TO CAUTI = (DATE OF EVENT - DATE OF CZD INSERTION) + 1. Date of event for subjects who had CAUTI is the date of urine sample collection where the CAUTI criteria are met. Date of event for subjects who did not have CAUTI is the last available urine culture collection date from samples collected during & post CZD. p-values of time of CAUTI were obtained from log-rank test. p-values of Incidence of CAUTI were obtained from the Logistic Regression Model.
