Infiltration of Peripheral IV Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
A single arm trial consisting of 28 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of ivWatch sensors when observing infiltrated tissues at common sites for peripheral IV therapy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Red Notification Sensitivity to Infiltrated Tissues | After each participant has been infiltrated, an expected average of 1 hour. | The ratio of the number of infiltrated IV sites where the ivWatch Model 400 device issued a red notification to the total number of infiltrated IV sites in the study. All infiltrations were limited to 10 mL of isotonic saline solution. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow Notification Sensitivity to Infiltrated Tissues | After each participant has been infiltrated, an expected average of 1 hour. | The ratio of the number of infiltrated IV sites where the ivWatch Model 400 device issued a yellow notification to the total number of infiltrated IV sites in the study. All infiltrations were limited to 10 mL of isotonic saline solution. |
| Significant Skin Irritation or Disruption to Skin Integrity | After each participant has been infiltrated, an expected average of 1 hour. | The number of IV sites that indicated significant skin irritation or disruption to skin integrity assessed at the end of the study. |
