Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment of the Precision of the Sherlock 3CG Tip Positioning System (NCT NCT01275430)

NCT ID: NCT01275430

Last Updated: 2016-11-16

Results Overview

Mean distance (mm) from the PICC tip to the upper cavoatrial junction (CAJ) upon observation of maximum p-wave amplitude when using Sherlock 3CG. All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Randomization was to have occurred in Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to termination of the study.

Measure
Sherlock 3CG
Subjects undergoing PICC placement had their PICCs placed in conjunction with the Sherlock 3CG Tip Confirmation System. All participants were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Zero subjects started Phase II because of early termination of the study, so zero subjects were randomized. All adverse event reporting is also for Phase I (3CG) participants.

Measure
Sherlock 3CG
n=18 Participants
Sherlock 3CG is indicated for central venous catheter guidance and positioning during catheter placement. The Sherlock 3CG provides real time catheter tip location information through the use of passive magnet and cardiac electrical signal detection. Randomization did not occur due to early termination. All participants were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in phase I. Randomization would have occurred at the start of Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to early termination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Time of PICC placement (Day 0)

Mean distance (mm) from the PICC tip to the upper cavoatrial junction (CAJ) upon observation of maximum p-wave amplitude when using Sherlock 3CG. All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Randomization was to have occurred in Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to termination of the study.

Distance (mm), if any, that is required to move the PICC tip upon observation of the maximum p-wave amplitude in order to have the PICC tip at the upper cavoatrial junction. Direct measurement of distance from the catheter tips to the parts of the CAJ All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Proportion of acceptable visualization of the PICC tip location when maximum p-wave amplitude is observed. Note - this endpoint is to assess the diagnostic capability of Angiographic Computed Tomography (ACT). It is not designed to reflect on PICC tip location. All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Randomization was to have occurred in Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to termination of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Measurements (mm) of the location of the cavoatrial junction on Angiographic CT to evaluate shift greater than 5mm in mediastinal structures between ACT acquisitions obtained with the arms above the head vs arms at side of body (90°). All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Randomization was to have occurred in Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to termination of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Mean distance (mm) of PICC tip movement when the subject's arm is adducted from a 90° position to the subject's side, by directly measuring the distance from the catheter tips to the parts of the CAJ (upper, middle, and lower) with the subject's arm at 90°and compared to the PICC tip with the subject's arm at the side . All subjects were assigned to Sherlock 3CG in Phase I. Randomization was to have occurred in Phase II, but Phase II was not initiated due to termination of the study.
