New blood pressure cuff aims to replace needles
NCT ID NCT07628296
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study is testing a new non-invasive blood pressure device that uses a cuff and special algorithm to measure blood pressure. Researchers will compare its readings to those from an arterial line, which is the most accurate method but requires a needle in an artery. The study involves 15 adults who already have an arterial line as part of their care. The goal is to see if the cuff device can match the accuracy of the invasive method.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NIBP Standard Parameter Module with SuperSTAT algorithm (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more accurate non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, reducing the need for invasive arterial lines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-stage study (15 participants) focused on data collection, not treatment. The device may not prove accurate enough for widespread use.

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
