Blood'up device versus manual feeling for arterial blood draws
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called Blood'up that helps find the right spot to draw blood from an artery in your wrist, compared to the usual way of feeling for the pulse. It's done in healthy people to see if it works well, even when blood pressure is lower than normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a cuff-less wrist blood pressure device to the usual arm cuff. You may be able to help test whether the wrist device reads blood pressure accurately and safely.
This trial studies blood flow in the wrist arteries during heart catheterization. It looks at how stopping blood flow works in two different wrist spots to help make procedures safer.
This study compares two ways to place a small tube in your arm artery during robot-assisted urologic surgery. It aims to see if a different location in your wrist keeps your blood pressure readings more stable.
This trial compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
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 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.
