Monitoring device for dialysis fistula health
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You must be currently receiving hemodialysis (dialysis to clean your blood).
- You must have a mature and functioning native arteriovenous fistula (a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein used for dialysis access).
- You should not have had any past complications with your fistula.
- You should not be using a graft or catheter for dialysis, and you should have a life expectancy of more than one year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood flow and sounds in new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) during dialysis. If you need a new AVF in your forearm, this trial may help doctors understand how to make your fistula work better.
This study records and analyzes sounds from people getting hemodialysis through an access in the arm (an AV fistula or graft). It aims to see whether sound patterns can help assess or guide the best vascular access approach for dialysis.
This study looks at tissue samples from people getting or fixing an AV fistula for dialysis. The goal is to find markers that might predict early narrowing (stenosis) of the fistula, so doctors can prevent problems in the future.
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.
This study monitors how well the BD WavelinQ endoAVF device works after routine clinical use. It may help people who need a dialysis access fistula by sharing real-world safety and performance data.
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.
