Study summary

The objective of this study is to define the repeatability and reproducibility of quantifying flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery (BA) using the AngioDefender (AD) methodology.

Repeatability will be assessed by repeat AD testing of the same subject 1 hour apart, using the same AD device and operator.

Reproducibility will be assessed by comparing FMD scores obtained for the same subject, but using different AD devices and operators.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AngioDefender

    The AngioDefender device uses a novel, proprietary software algorithm to analyze pulse wave amplitude data collected before and after brachial artery occlusion by a standard upper arm pneumatic blood pressure cuff. The procedure is non-invasive and does not employ ultrasound.

    Device: AngioDefender

Interventions

  • DeviceAngioDefender

    Repeatability will be assessed by repeat AngioDefender (AD) testing of the same subject 1 hour apart, using the same AD device and operator. Reproducibility will be assessed by comparing FMD scores obtained for the same subject, but using different AD devices and operators.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline %flow-mediation dilation (%FMD) at 1 hour

    Repeat AD testing of the same subject 1 hour apart on 4 consecutive days (operators and/or AD devices change each day)

    Time frame: Daily x 4 consecutive days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reproducibility of multiple %FMD determinations by AngioDefender

    Repeat AD testing of the same subject over 4 consecutive days using different operators and/or AD devices each day

    Time frame: Daily x 4 consecutive days

  2. Incidence of emergent adverse device effects (ADEs) according to CTCAE v4.03

    Spontaneous ADEs reported by the subject and inquiry into emergence of expected/unexpected ADEs

    Time frame: 4 consecutive days (maximum 5 days)
