Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform for PAD
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to study changes in tissue oxygen levels in individuals with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) using a new device called the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform. A small gel will be injected under participants' skin to track these oxygen changes, which are then sent to an app for monitoring. The research intends to evaluate the device's effectiveness compared to a standard oxygen measurement tool. Suitable candidates for this trial have stable PAD and have previously received treatment in their legs. Participants must commit to six visits over 12 months and agree to photos and videos of the study sites. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance PAD management.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform is safe for monitoring tissue oxygen levels?
Research has shown that the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform safely monitors oxygen levels in tissue. A small sensor, injected under the skin, measures these levels. This sensor effectively detects changes in tissue oxygen in individuals with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Detailed reports of major side effects are absent. However, the device holds a CE mark, indicating it meets European safety standards and is generally well-tolerated. For concerns about safety or side effects, discussing them with the study team or your doctor may be beneficial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform because it offers a new way to monitor tissue oxygen levels using a wireless system. Unlike traditional methods that rely on bulky and less convenient equipment like transcutaneous oxygen monitoring (TcPO2), the Lumee platform provides a more flexible and potentially more comfortable option for patients. This technology is expected to give more precise and real-time insights into how oxygen is delivered and utilized in the body, especially in areas like the arm and foot. By offering a non-invasive and continuous monitoring solution, it could significantly improve the management of conditions where tissue oxygenation is a concern.
What evidence suggests that the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform is effective for monitoring tissue oxygen levels in Peripheral Artery Disease?
Studies have shown that the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform, used by participants in this trial, effectively tracks changes in tissue oxygen levels. Research indicates that results from the Lumee platform closely match those from a TcPO2 device, another method for measuring tissue oxygen. Both methods reveal similar patterns when oxygen levels fluctuate. The Lumee system quickly detects these changes, proving reliable for monitoring oxygen in individuals with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). Initial findings suggest that the Lumee platform could enhance understanding of how oxygen levels change in the body.15678
