Heartbeat Sensitivity Calibration Using the ECG Accessory

This is an observational, un-blinded, non-significant risk, non-interventional study designed to collect ECG data on at least one subject out of a pool of up to three (3) healthy male subjects at one clinical site (Clinical Trials of Texas). Cyberonics will be collecting ECG recordings collected by an investigational device for comparison with conventional ECG recordings. This data will be used to validate a new device under development.

About this study

This is an observational, un-blinded, non-significant risk, non-interventional study designed to collect ECG data on at least one subject out of a pool of up to three (3) healthy male subjects at one clinical site (Clinical Trials of Texas). If acceptable data is acquired from one (1) subject the remaining subjects will not be entered into the study. Three (3) to six (6) researchers will record data, but all direct contact with the subject will be done by the study coordinator or principal investigator (PI).

The purpose of this study is to validate a Heartbeat Sensitivity calibration process utilizing the Cyberonics ECG Accessory. The non-invasive, passive collection of ECG signals from a resting healthy subject will be used to validate the use of the ECG Accessory with the Model 201 Programming Wand, Model 250 VNS Programming Software Version 9.0, Model 106 Generator, and ECG monitor (DRE True ECG-12), as well as the associated Instructions for Use. The data generated from this exercise will be used in future clinical trials utilizing this device.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1. Patients must be 18 years or older, male, and of any race.
  • 2. Patient must be in good general health, fully ambulatory, and able to complete the physical aspects of testing requirements.
  • 3. Patient must be willing and able to complete informed consent and HIPAA authorization.

Exclusion criteria

  • 1. Subjects with skin abnormalities or conditions that would interfere with ECG electrode patch placement or cause subject discomfort with patch placement.
  • 2. Subjects report history of allergies or sensitivity to adhesive tapes or patches.
  • 3. Subjects with major health condition that in the investigator's judgment would prevent the subject's successful completion of the study.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of ECG measurements

    Time frame: 8 hours

    No specific effectiveness outcomes or calculations are planned for this non-interventional study. The sponsor will use the ECG data collected during this study as a comparison of the subject's actual ECG waveforms obtained through standard ECG connections to the ECG Accessory transmitted heart beat detection signals from the Model 106 Generator to the ECG monitor.
