About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate methods to modify blood pressure in humans and measure the effectiveness of such methods. A secondary outcome is to evaluate the performance of an investigational continuous non-invasive blood pressure (cNIBP) device created by Sensifree. The tests will per performed in non-hospitalized subjects under varied controlled conditions that include resting blood pressure and non-pharmacologically induced blood pressure changes.

Full description

On a first visit a screening procedure to verify inclusion / exclusion criteria are met will be conducted. On the primary procedure visit, data collection will begin with the subjects having the investigational device, ECG sensors, and 1 or more pulse oximetry sensors placed on them for data collection and to monitor their safety for the duration of the study. A physician will place an arterial line in the radial artery. The Sensifree cNIBP system will be calibrated with an oscillometric and/or auscultatory blood pressure cuff measurement taken on the arm opposite the arterial line.

A series of blood pressure changes will be induced, including various combinations of methods.
