Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Establish the effectiveness of the Bay Labs, Inc. EchoGPS software in enabling RNs to acquire echocardiograms. In this study an echocardiogram protocol using the EchoGPS interface with the Terason uSmart 3200t, an FDA 510(k)-cleared, commercially available ultrasound device will be performed. Participants will have two scans, one by a registered nurse (RN) using the Terason uSmart 3200t with EchoGPS (Study Exam) and one by a sonographer using the Reference Device without EchoGPS guidance (Control Exam), under the same protocol. Study is non-significant risk (NSR).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To validate clinical use of Bay Labs, Inc. EchoGPS guidance software by registered nurses (RNs) with no prior scanning experience to acquire limited two-dimensional echocardiograms. In this study an echocardiogram protocol using the EchoGPS interface with the Terason uSmart 3200t, an FDA 510(k)-cleared, commercially available ultrasound device will be performed. Participants will have two scans, one by a registered nurse (RN) using the Terason uSmart 3200t with EchoGPS (Study Exam) and one by a sonographer using the Reference Device without EchoGPS guidance (Control Exam), under the same protocol. Study is non-significant risk (NSR).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients scheduled for an echocardiogram

Patients ≥18 years scheduled for an echocardiographic examination. This is a non-randomized, un-blinded, study in patients with an indication for an echocardiographic examination. Enrolled patients will be stratified into two groups based on known cardiac abnormalities to ensure a sufficient number of patients with cardiac abnormalities and into 3 strata of BMI: normal, overweight and obese.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diagnostic Test: Limited Echocardiogram

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

STUDY SOFTWARE non-significant risk (NSR) Bay Labs EchoGPS software interfaced with the Terason uSmart 3200t FDA 510(k)-cleared, commercially available ultrasound EchoGPS software communicates with the ultrasound image formation engine of the 510(k)-cleared Terason uSmart 3200t through an application programming interface (API). EchoGPS will be used to provide visual guidance feedback to users during image acquisition. For this study, RNs will use EchoGPS to perform limited echocardiogram examinations.
