NCT01312519

Brief Summary

This is a randomized study evaluating use of a powered bone marrow biopsy and aspiration system (OnControl by Vidacare) compared to traditional manual devices. The hypothesis is that the powered system will reduce the level of patient pain during the aspiration and core biopsy procedures and the amount of time needed to perform the procedures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Subject Reported Level of Pain During Procedure

    Subjects were asked to rate the level of pain they experienced during the procedure for needle insertion, following penetration of the cortex. A 0 to 10 pain scale was used where 0=no pain and 10= worst possible pain.

    Day 1 during the needle insertion

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Time Necessary to Perform the Bone Marrow Procedure

    Day 1 needle insertion through needle removal

Study Arms (2)

Manual bone marrow sampling device

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Hollow needle with a t-shaped handle manually pushed into the bone for the purpose of bone marrow aspiration and core biopsy collection. Manual Bone Marrow Sampling Device.

Device: Manual bone marrow sampling device

OnControl Bone Marrow System

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Battery powered device used for insertion of a single lumen catheter into the intraosseous space of the adult iliac crest. OnControl Bone Marrow Biopsy and Aspiration System.
