Results Overview

The Quality of Aspirate Specimen Yield Total Score is a sum score using the 3 quality rating scales below. The Score range: 0 to 8; Higher scores mean greater quality. Direct Smears- Cellularity: 0= obviously dilute, no good particles or adequate megakaryocytes (MK) 1. probably slightly dilute, particles and MK present 2. cellular, good particles; MK present on edge, smears reflect clot section cellularity Particle Crush Smears: Evaluate presence of particles and quality of cellularity: 0= no particles 1. few particles; difficult to evaluate marrow cellularity and adequacy of MK 2. good particles; adequate material to evaluate MK 3. many particles, some large, with MK easily evaluated Clot Sections: Evaluate quantity and quality of particles 0= insufficient or no particles for interpretation 1. few small particles; difficult to determine cellularity 2. several particles, good marrow cellularity 3. numerous particles (some large); easy to assess cellularity and cell composition

Participant Flow

15 healthy adults were recruited to receive bilateral bone marrow aspiration procedures, one procedure using the Jamshidi Manual Standard Device and one procedure using the OnControl Powered Ported Device.

All subjects received both study arms by receiving bilateral bone marrow aspiration from the iliac crest (right side and left side) using the Jamshidi manual standard device and the OnControl power ported aspiration needle device. Subjects were randomized to determine which device procedure was performed first and were assigned to Group 1 or Group 2.

Measure
Group 1: First Procedure Jamshidi Manual Standard Device
For the first procedure, the Jamshidi manual standard device will be used to perform unilateral bone marrow aspiration from one iliac crest (left side or right side) of each subject. Whether the right or left iliac crest was used was determined by random assignment. The OnControl Powered Ported device procedure will be performed second using the other iliac crest.
Group 2: First Procedure OnControl Powered Ported Device
For the first procedure, the OnControl power ported device will be used to perform unilateral bone marrow aspiration from one iliac crest (left side or right side) of each subject. Whether the right or left iliac crest was used was determined by random assignment. The Jamshidi Manual Standard Device procedure will be performed second using the other iliac crest.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: analyzed and results received within 30 days of Day 1 procedures

Population: One subject in Group 1 did not complete the unilateral bone marrow aspiration procedure using the Jamshidi Manual Standard Device due to the inability to insert the device into the bone marrow to complete the procedure. Therefore only 14 are included in the analysis of this outcome measure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 at time of procedure

Population: Group 1: One subject in Group 1 did not complete the unilateral bone marrow aspiration procedure using the Jamshidi Manual Standard Device due to the inability to insert the device into the bone marrow to complete the procedure; for another subject in Group 1 the pain score was not captured. Group 2: For one subject in Group 2 the pain score was not captured. Therefore only 12 are included in the analysis of this outcome measure.

Subject reported level of pain with needle insertion (insertion of the bone marrow aspiration device, OnControl or Jamshidi, into the bone marrow space of the iliac crest) was reported by the patients for each procedure performed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale Where 0 = no hurt and 10 = hurts worst. Higher numbers indicate greater pain.
