Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Non-invasive Respiratory Monitoring System (RMS) to Capnography for Respiratory Rate (RR) (NCT NCT06521385)

NCT ID: NCT06521385

Last Updated: 2026-03-16

Results Overview

Mean absolute error (MAE) was calculated for concurrent respiratory rate measurements obtained from the Makani Science system (experimental device) and capnography (reference device). MAE was defined as the average of the absolute differences between the experimental and reference measurements. The lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval were also calculated for each MAE. Device performance was considered acceptable if the MAE was within 3 breaths per minute (BPM) of the reference device.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hour

Population: Patient in Supine Position Breathing Normally.

Mean absolute error (MAE) was calculated for concurrent respiratory rate measurements obtained from the Makani Science system (experimental device) and capnography (reference device). MAE was defined as the average of the absolute differences between the experimental and reference measurements. The lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval were also calculated for each MAE. Device performance was considered acceptable if the MAE was within 3 breaths per minute (BPM) of the reference device.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hour

Population: Respiratory rate bias in supine patients breathing normally

Bias was calculated for concurrent respiratory rate measurements obtained from the Makani Science system (experimental device) and capnography (reference device). Bias was defined as the average of the differences between the experimental and reference measurements. A negative bias indicates the experimental device underreports the measurement. The lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval were also calculated for each biase.

Timeframe: 15 minutes

Population: Mean absolute error measured in supine patients after simulated breathing artifacts were performed.

Mean absolute error (MAE) and Bias was calculated for concurrent respiratory rate measurements obtained from the Makani Science system (experimental device) and capnography (reference device) after subject performed simulated breathing artifacts. The lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval were also calculated for each MAE and Bias.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 15 minutes

Population: Analysis was done on subjects with data collected while laying on right side.

Mean absolute error (MAE) and biase was calculated for concurrent respiratory rate measurements obtained from the Makani Science system (experimental device) and capnography (reference device) after the subject shifted to their right side. The lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval were also calculated for each MAE and biase.

1/29 • From experimental device placement to when experimental device was removed, an average of 2 hours
All subjects had their respiratory rate measured by the gold standard method (capnography) and Non-Invasive Respiratory Monitoring System (RMS) simultaneously while performing quite breathing, simulated artifacts, and position change. The time frame for the adverse event monitoring starts with the placement of both devices and ends with the removal of both devices. Since both devices will be operating simulatneously during the monitoring, they are reported as a single arm/group.
