Entarik Feeding Tube System for Airway Data Collection in Healthy Subjects
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on active anticoagulation therapy (blood thinners), you may be deemed unsuitable for the study.
What data supports the effectiveness of the Entarik Feeding Tube System treatment?
Is the Entarik Feeding Tube System safe for use in humans?
The Entarik Feeding Tube System is described as inherently safe in one study, which mentions that it only removes excess fluids momentarily to prevent local distention (swelling). Another study highlights the importance of proper placement and management to avoid complications, suggesting that safety can be enhanced with team-based protocols and technology.16789
How does the Entarik Feeding Tube System treatment differ from other treatments for airway data collection?
The Entarik Feeding Tube System is unique because it is designed specifically for noninvasive airway data collection during feeding, focusing on the coordination between swallowing and respiration. Unlike other methods, it aims to provide accurate respiratory information during feeding assessments, which is crucial for understanding swallowing safety and efficiency.1011121314
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the airway detection performance of the Entarik Feeding Tube System, and to collect data when the Entarik Feeding Tube is in the Airway for device development.
