Monitoring the Peripheral Intravenous Infusion Site for Infiltration and Extravasation

Non-invasive Optical Medical Device for Monitoring and Detecting Peripheral Intravenous Infusion Sites for Infiltration and Extravasation in Subjects Receiving Continuous Fluids

The purpose of this study to to monitor the peripheral intravenous (PIV) site on subjects receiving continuous IV fluids for infiltration and extravasation events. Infiltration is an indication that the PIV is leaking fluids outside of the vascular system. The study hypothesis is to demonstrate that changes in the optical signals of the non-invasive monitoring medical device will detect infiltration and extravasation events.

Inclusion Criteria:

• signed consent
• patient age under 12
• PIV with continuous fluids

Exclusion Criteria:

• no consent
• patient age over 12
• PIV fluids not continuous
