About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Pediatric Lumbar Puncture

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 18 Months (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children whose diagnosis or treatment plan requires lumbar puncture to acquire a CSF sample.
  • Consent from the parents

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Being a high risk patient (as determined by the investigator)
  • Any contraindication to a common lumbar puncture apply also in the investigation

Sites / Locations

  • Tampere University Hospital
  • Turku University Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Injeq IQ-Needle

Arm Description

Lumbar puncture is performed using Injeq IQ-Needle

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of true/false positive and true/false negative detections of cerebrospinal fluid marked in case report form
Measurement device indicates with a sound and visual feedback when needle reaches cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Physician verifies the location by removing the needle stylet and testing whether CSF flows from the needle, similarly as in traditional process. Detection is true positive if CSF flows from the needle and false positive if not. Even if the device does not detect CSF, physician performs the CSF test when needed. Physician marks to the case report form whether the device provided detections during the lumbar puncture and were the detections true or false detections.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is clinical feasibility study on the device performance with paediatric patients. The main objective is to validate the performance of investigational device in distinguishing and identifying the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the subarachnoid space during a lumbar puncture on paediatric patients.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Injeq IQ-Needle
Intervention Description
Injeq IQ-Needle is a spinal needle that has bioimpedance measurement capability. It consists of traditional needle cannulae and removable bioimpedance probe which enables the measurement of bioimpedance. The needle is connected to measurement device and tissue identifying algorithm. Bioimpedance is measured during the operation and the algorithm detects when the needle tip is in contact with cerebrospinal fluid.
