Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main endpoint of this pilot study is the feasibility and clinical performance of measurement at three different locations on the foot and lower let with the EPOS system and a standardized measurement protocol for EPOS measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The second study parameter is to determine baseline values of oxygen saturation, RBC tissue fraction, and speed resolved RBC perfusion, which are measured with the EPOS system, for the three groups of participants. Factors that may affect skin perfusion will be noted, including tobacco smoking (pack years and daily consumption), coffee consumption (both global and on measurement day), daily activity (both global and on measurement day), systemic blood pressure, local skin temperature, and arterial oxygen saturation, diabetes mellitus, COPD, and cardiovascular disease. Other secondary goals are the comparison of EPOS measurements with tcpo2 measurements and standard non-invasive methods as skin temperature, saturation and arterial blood pressure measurements.
