Summary

This is a human non-significant risk (NSR) clinical study designed to objectively and participatively verify that the Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber is a safe and non-hostile environment for the patients that will be contained within the chamber during normal operations.

Detailed description

Device Information: The Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber is a patient isolation unit (PIU) designed for the temporary isolation of patients within a hospital to prevent particulate (biological) cross-contamination between user and patient, while enclosing the contaminated patient from the external environment. Study Description: Participants will be tasked to stay within the Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber for a minimum of three consecutive time points (1 hour apart) illustrating a plateau level for all parameters, up to a maximum of 7 hours (readings will be taken at baseline and hourly thereafter). The Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber will be set up indoors, in an emergency department and hospital floor environment. We will collect data and demonstrate that the Carecube Isolation chamber is a safe and non-hostile environment for the patients that will be contained within, during normal operations. Each participant will be asked to come to a test center facility to complete and sign the informed consent and receive instruction to interact with the simulation. Subjects will be tasked to stay within the Carecube Isolation Chamber for at least 4 hours and have 3 consecutive timepoints illustrating a plateau level for all participants parameters. Environmental data will be collected by physicians and nurses. Additionally, atmospheric Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, humidity, and room temperature will be monitored and recorded. External to the room humidity and temperatures will also be recorded. The participant will be exposed to room temperature (° Fahrenheit) and humidity (RH%), ranging from 65°- 90° Fahrenheit and 30%-60% RH. Participants will also be asked to record on a questionnaire, in order to demonstrate that the Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation chamber is a safe and non-hostile environment for the patients that will be contained during normal operations.
