Blood'up device study for easier arterial blood draw
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called Blood'up that helps find arteries for blood draws, compared with the usual method of feeling for the pulse. It is done in healthy adults under normal conditions and during simulated low blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You agree to join the study.
- You have no history of heart or blood vessel disease.
- You have a positive Allen test, which checks that both hand arteries work well.
- You have a body mass index (BMI) under 30.
- You are not taking blood thinners, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no skin damage or other conditions that would make the procedure unsafe.

This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
This study looks at how blood flow stops (bleeding control) at two different points in the wrist artery during a simulated procedure. It may help improve how bleeding is managed after heart catheterization.
This study tests a new automatic blood pressure cuff that may work as well as the standard invasive blood pressure monitor. It is for adults in the operating room, recovery room, or intensive care unit who already have an arterial line.
This study tests how accurately a non-invasive blood pressure device measures your pressure compared to a direct measurement from an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery that directly measures pressure). You'll need to be in a hospital or intensive care setting where you already have an arterial line as part of your standard care.
This study compares the usual arterial line (a small tube in an artery) to a new non-invasive sensor that tracks blood pressure through the skin. It aims to see if the new sensor works as well during bleeding situations.
This study tests an automated system to help collect blood using a device, aiming to make blood drawing more reliable. You may be able to join if you’re healthy enough to have blood drawn from the usual spot in your arms and follow instructions.
