Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A simulated clinical use testing on the HTL-Strefa's safety lancets

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Needle Stick	Device: Haemolance Plus safety lancet; Device: Prolance safety lancet; Device: MediSafe Solo safety lancet	N/A

Detailed Description

This study aims to evaluate the safety of the use of the safety lancets: Haemolance Plus, Prolance and MediSafe Solo in the prevention of NSI and to evaluate the user's opinion with regards to the handling characteristics of the medical devices.

The simulated use clinical study will involve healthcare professionals (HCPs) who routinely use safety lancets to collect blood samples.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: simulation of skin pricking type 420 The evaluator simulated the capillary blood sampling with the safety lancet type 420	Device: Haemolance Plus safety lancet; Haemolance Plus safety lancet type 420 is a sterile, single use medical device designed for the sampling of capillary blood from the fingertip of patients
Experimental: simulation of skin pricking type 430 The evaluator simulated the capillary blood sampling with the safety lancet type 430	Device: Prolance safety lancet; Prolance safety lancet type 430 is a sterile, single use medical device designed for the sampling of capillary blood from the fingertip of patients.
Experimental: simulation of skin pricking type 520 The evaluator simulated the capillary blood sampling with the safety lancet type 520	Device: MediSafe Solo safety lancet; MediSafe Solo safety lancet type 520 is a sterile, single use medical device designed for the sampling of capillary blood from the fingertip of patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. The true failure rate of the tested devices [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

2. Effectiveness of the safety lancet's sharps injury prevention features [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

   Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Subjective assessments regarding evaluators' interactions with the tested safety lancets [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

   Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.

2. Safety of the devices based on the evaluators' assessments (five-point response scale) [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

   Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure any and all observed needlestick injuries and device malfunctions. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.

3. Various aspects of the ease of use. [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

   Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.

4. Any handling, usability questions / issues associated with the device [At time of testing, up to 90 minutes]

   Evaluator questionnaire using five-point response Likert scale (coded from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree") to measure respondents' attitudes to a particular question or statement. Numbers assigned to Likert scale express a "greater than" relationship.
