Could a simple cuff replace needles for blood pressure monitoring?
NCT ID NCT07697950
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

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
