New pulse oximeter put to the test in extreme Low-Oxygen conditions

NCT ID NCT05297500

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study checks how accurately a new pulse oximeter (a device that measures blood oxygen through the skin) works when oxygen levels are dangerously low. Twelve healthy volunteers will have their oxygen temporarily lowered in a controlled setting while the device's readings are compared to standard blood tests. The goal is to see if the device stays accurate even in extreme conditions, which could help doctors monitor patients better in emergencies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the device reliably measures oxygen levels even during severe hypoxia, potentially improving patient safety in hospitals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage device validation study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Real-world performance may differ, and the device may not be approved or widely adopted.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Healthy adult volunteers. At least 10 subjects will be recruited to complete the study. Of these 2 will be dark pigmented. If the number of samples is less than the required 200 or if less than 2 of dark pigment subjects successfully complete the study, subjects will be added to include 2 of dark pigmented subjects and at least 200 data points.

Ages

18 to 50 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
