Study Type

Observational

Conditions

Summary

Pulse oximeters are used in many areas of clinical medicine and a clear understanding of their performance is critical to appropriate and safe use. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a new pulse oximeter under a range of oxygen conditions compared with CO-ocimetry, which is the current reference method for this measurement.


Eligibility

Sex: Both males and femalesMin Age: 18 YearssMax Age: 80 Yearss

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing the accuracy of a new pulse oximeter — the device that clips onto your finger to measure the oxygen level in your blood. Researchers want to compare how well this new device measures blood oxygen under different conditions compared to the current gold standard laboratory method. This is an important safety study to make sure pulse oximeters give accurate readings. You may be eligible if: - You are an adult (18 years or older, up to 80 years old) - You are generally healthy You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a heart condition - You have a respiratory (lung) condition - You have a history of stroke (CVA) Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

Subjects are acutely exposed to a range of hypoxic gas mixtures to induce falls in arterial oxygen saturation in the range 95-70%. Oximeter readings (SpO2) are compared with simultaneously determined

Subjects are acutely exposed to a range of hypoxic gas mixtures to induce falls in arterial oxygen saturation in the range 95-70%. Oximeter readings (SpO2) are compared with simultaneously determined CO-oximetry measurements of SaO2 from arterial blood samples. These samples are drawn once a steady state has been achieved at each level of hypoxaemia, usually 3-5 minutes.
