Monitoring AV access with a contactless device during dialysis
This study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have permanent kidney failure and need long-term hemodialysis.
- You have a working AV fistula or AV graft in your arm.
- You can agree to join the study and follow its steps.
- You do not have an infection where your AV access is placed.
- You are not expected to get a kidney transplant or switch to another dialysis method during the study.

This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
This trial tests if a non-invasive finger sensor (PVI) can predict when blood pressure drops during dialysis. If successful, it could help prevent dangerous low blood pressure episodes.
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.
This study is testing a new monitoring tool to keep an eye on the health of the fistula used for dialysis. It aims to catch problems early so you can avoid complications.
This study tests a new approach to creating an AV fistula, a connection between an artery and a vein used for hemodialysis. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and works well for people with kidney failure who need dialysis.
This study tests a new device that may make it easier and more reliable to place needles into your dialysis access (the fistula or graft in your arm). It could help improve your dialysis sessions and comfort.
