Brief Summary

Validate the SpO2 accuracy of the WatchPAT compared to arterial blood CO-Oximetry

Detailed Description

The goal of this comparative, single-center, non-randomized study is to validate the SpO2 accuracy performance of the WatchPAT SpO2 sensor over the range of 70-100% SaO2 during non-motion conditions assessed by CO-Oximetry in 24 healthy male and female participants of any race, ranging in pigmentation from light to dark, aged 18-50 years old. The participants will have an arterial catheter placed in the radial artery to allow for simultaneous blood samples during stable plateaus of induced hypoxic levels, while an investigational device will be placed on the fingers of both hands.

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: COHORT
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

WatchPAT SpO2

Simultaneous data collection will be set up for the reference(s) and the device under test. The participants will have an arterial catheter placed in the radial artery to allow for simultaneous blood samples during stable plateaus of induced hypoxic levels. The WatchPAT will be placed on the finger(s) of both hands following the instructions for use.

Each participant test is expected to take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Participant must have the ability to understand and provide written informed consent.
• Participant is adult 18-50 years of age.
• Participant must be willing and able to comply with study procedures and duration.
• Participant is a non-smoker or who has not smoked within 2 days prior to the study.

Exclusion Criteria

• Participant is considered as being morbidly obese (defined as BMI >39.5)
• Compromised circulation (i.e., Raynaud's Syndrome), injury, or physical malformation of fingers, toes, hands, ears or forehead/skull or other sensor sites which would limit the ability to test sites needed for the study. Tattoos in the optical path which would limit the ability to test sites needed for the study. (Note: Certain malformations may still allow participants to participate if the condition is noted and would not affect the sites utilized.)
• Females who are pregnant, who are trying to get pregnant, (confirmed by positive urine pregnancy test unless the participant is known to be not of child-bearing potential)

• Participants with known clotting disorders (self-reported)

• history of bleeding disorders or personal history of prolonged bleeding from injury
• history of blood clots
• hemophilia
• current use of blood thinner: prescription or daily use of aspirin
• Sickle Cell Trait or Disease
• Participants with severe contact allergies to standard adhesives, latex, silicone or other materials found in pulse oximetry sensors, ECG electrodes, respiration monitor electrodes or other medical sensors (self-reported)
• Participants with severe allergies to iodine (only applicable if iodine is used)
• Participants with severe allergies to lidocaine (or similar pharmacological agents, e.g. Novocaine),
• Failure of the Perfusion Index Ulnar/Ulnar+Radial Ratio test (Ratio <0.4)
• Unwillingness or inability to remove colored nail polish or non-clear artificial nails from test digits.
• Surgical hardware in pathway of Device Under Test
• Other known health conditions should be considered upon disclosure in health assessment form.
