Study summary

The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate maternal-fetal tissue light scattering properties. The objectives of the study are: (i) integrate established mathematical principles of oxygen saturation to model with increasing accuracy the "body in a body" problem of fetus in mother; similar to existing pulse oximeters, the calculations will be integrated into software in the final commercial product; (ii) obtain human measurements against which both computational models and animal data can be compared.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, observational, non-significant risk study. The study involves using non-invasive devices that measure fetal depth and tissue light scattering on the maternal abdomen. Ultrasound assessment will be performed, and multiple images taken at various locations on the abdomen. All images will be captured with minimal probe pressure applied to allow accurate ascertainment of depth. Images will be anonymized, and all study data will be coded with a unique identifier. Key maternal descriptive statistics will be recorded from the medical record including BMI, height, weight (kg), parity, age and gestational age.

The ISS device is a customized commercial frequency domain oximeter (Imagent, ISS Inc.; http://www.iss.com/biomedical/instruments/imagent.html) with multiple laser sources and multiple detectors. This instrument is safe, uses non-ionizing radiation.

The Raydiant Lumerah device is a non-invasive fetal pulse oximeter that measures fetal arterial oxygen saturation using safe, non-invasive, transabdominal near-infrared spectroscopy. The Lumerah device will be positioned on the maternal abdomen of women volunteers in the late 3rd trimester.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Interventional/Observational

    The Gen 3 device will be positioned on the maternal abdomen to measure light scattering and absorption for a period of about 10-20 minutes. A second measurement may be obtained for a total of up to 40 minutes. Subject's end their participation in the study after that time period.

    Device: GEN 3 Monitoring of Fetus

Interventions

  • DeviceGEN 3 Monitoring of Fetus

    Measurement of tissue light scatter in the "body in body" during late term pregnancy and evaluation of signal integrity
