Safety and Performance of the Novalung Ultimate Kit and Xenios 2.0 During Stationary Use in Hospital and Ground-based Transport of Patients on Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS)

This prospective observational study will evaluate the safety and performance of the Novalung ultimate kit in combination with the Xenios 2.0 and the MultiSupport Ground during stationary use in hospital and ground-based transport of patients treated on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary objective is to assess whether the use of the medical devices improves and maintains the gas exchange (blood oxygenation) in these patients. Medical Devices will be used according to their intended purpose and local standards/ requirements.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients receiving an ECMO treatment with the Novalung ultimate kit in combination with the Xenios 2.0 (and the MultiSupport Ground during inter- and intra-hospital transport, if applicable) according to the intended use
  • Informed consent signed and dated by the attending physician; and
  • If patient is able to give consent: by the study patient
  • If patient is unable to give consent: by the legal representative or
  • If an emergency situation is determined: by a consultant physician

Exclusion criteria

  • Participation in any interventional clinical study that could impact the results of this prospective, observational PMCF study
  • Previous participation in the same study
  • ECMO cannulation outside the referring or trial site hospital

Treatment and study plan

Novalung ultimate kit, Xenios 2.0, and MultiSupport Ground (MSG)

Device

Patients will receive ECLS treatment using the Novalung ultimate kit, Xenios 2.0, and MultiSupport Ground (MSG) during ground-based inter-hospital patient transport and/ or stationary treatment according to their intended use and local standards/ requirements.

Primary outcomes

  1. Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) [%]

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Longitudinal assessments of continuous outcomes will be analyzed by treatment day using mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM), with ECMO mode as a fixed factor (except for analyses performed within the subsets defined by ECMO mode) and the baseline value of the primary endpoint as a covariate.

    Within-subject differences between baseline and subsequent visits will be tested using contrasts. The comparison between baseline and the first day on ECMO (initial effect) is considered as the primary outcome.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Performance objective Cardiacirculation

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Improvement and maintenance of patients' cardiocirculation in patients transported and treated stationary on ECMO

  2. Performance objective Maintenance of blood flow

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Evaluation of Xenios 2.0 performance during transport and stationary use: Maintenance of blood flow (L/min)

  3. Performance objective Pump speed

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Evaluation of Xenios 2.0 performance during transport and stationary use: Pump speed (rpm)

  4. Performance objective Circuit pressures

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Evaluation of Xenios 2.0 performance during transport and stationary use: Circuit pressures (mmHg)

  5. Safety objectives

    Time frame: Baseline and during the ECMO treatment every 24 hours until a maximum of 29 days

    Assessment of the safety of the use of the Xenios System for ground-based transport and stationary use of patients on ECMO.

    Complications will be grouped in device-, transport-, cannula-, and patient-related complications and presented as relative and absolute frequencies.
