What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study checks how well a non-invasive blood pressure cuff matches the readings from an arterial line, the current gold standard. Adults aged 18 and older who already have an arterial line as part of their care may join. The goal is to see if the cuff-based device can provide accurate blood pressure measurements without needing a needle in the artery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
NIBP Measurement device (cuff-based blood pressure monitor with SuperSTAT algorithm)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help make non-invasive blood pressure measurements more reliable, reducing the need for invasive arterial lines in some patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage accuracy study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patient groups or settings.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age requirement: 18 and over. 2. Have an upper limb (right OR left side) that fits the cuff size of the device (circumference ranging 17 cm to 40 cm) OR have a thigh (right OR left side) that fits a cuff size of the device (circumference ranging 38 to 50 cm). 3. Have an arterial line as a standard of care, which measures blood pressure at the aortic root. 4. Able to provide written informed consent. 5. Expected to remain in the unit for the duration of the study procedure. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have previously participated in this study (no subject may participate more than once). 2. Pregnant and lactating women per site standard of care. 3. Subjects with peripheral arterial diseases (causing left/right arm difference) 4. Hemodynamically unstable subjects at the discretion of the investigator. 5. Exhibited injuries, deformities, intravenous lines, or other abnormalities that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may prevent proper cuff application or functioning. 6. Are suffering from infection(s) or immunocompromised patients that require isolation. 7. PI or designee decision due to subject health conditions
