The purpose of this study is to monitor changes in local tissue oxygen levels in participants with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) using the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform. A transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) device is used to show correlations in oxygen dynamics. Oxygen dynamics are induced by a pressure cuff and position maneuvers. Study participants will participate in the study for 12 months with six (6) planned visits over the course of the study.
The investigational device, the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform, consists of the Lumee Oxygen, a sterile soft injectable oxygen-sensitive hydrogel, designed to sense and report oxygen levels in the subcutaneous tissue. After initial insertion of the hydrogel in the subcutaneous tissue using the Lumee Pen (a sterile disposable injector device), tissue oxygen levels can be monitored continuously using the Lumee Patch (a non-invasive, non-sterile, wireless electronic device to collect, analyze and report tissue oxygen levels sensed by Lumee Oxygen Hydrogel) attached to the skin through the Lumee Patch Adhesive (designed to adhere the Lumee Patch). The Lumee Patch sends collected tissue oxygen data to the Lumee App which displays the collected data and operates up to four Lumee Patches.

Tissue Oxygen Dynamics with Lumee Oxygen and TcPO2
Monitoring local subcutaneous tissue oxygen dynamics using the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform in correlation to TcPO2 measurements in the arm and foot
|
Device: Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform
The Lumee Oxygen Platform is designed to monitor oxygen dynamics with a hydrogel placed in subcutaneous tissue |
- Correlation of subcutaneous oxygen dynamics measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform and a TcPO2 device in the arm [ Time Frame: At 2 days (±1 day) after injection and at 3 months (±14 days) after injection ]Correlation of measurements between subcutaneous tissue oxygen concentration expressed by the Lumee Oxygen Index (LOI; unitless; measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform) and transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (TcPO2; mmHg; measured by the Periflux System 5000 or Periflux System 6000) in the arm during changes of oxygen induced by pressure cuff.
- Correlation of subcutaneous oxygen dynamics measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform and a TcPO2 device in the foot [ Time Frame: 1-14 days after hydrogel insertion ]Correlation of measurements between subcutaneous tissue oxygen concentration expressed by the Lumee Oxygen Index (LOI; unitless; measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform) and transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (TcPO2; mmHg; measured by the Periflux System 5000 or Periflux System 6000) in the foot during changes of oxygen induced by pressure cuff.
- Correlation of subcutaneous oxygen dynamics measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform and a TcPO2 device in the arm and foot [ Time Frame: Throughout 12 months. ]Correlation of measurements between subcutaneous tissue oxygen concentrations expressed by the unitless Lumee Oxygen Index (LOI; measured by the Wireless Lumee Oxygen Platform) and transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (TcPO2; measured by the Periflux System 5000 or Periflux System 6000) in arm and foot during changes of oxygen induced by pressure cuff and positional maneuvers at various timepoints.
- Occurrence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Throughout 12 months and during all unscheduled visits ]
- Lumee™ Patch and Lumee™ Oxygen hydrogel placement site skin observations [ Time Frame: Throughout 12 months and during all unscheduled visits ]Skin observations will follow a grading system for Erythema, Edema and Hematoma at the injection site and the skin area where the Lumee Patches were adhered. The scores rank from 0= No Edema/Erythema/Hematoma, 1= very slight, 2 = well-defined, 3=moderate to 4= severe. Incidences of these ranks will we analyzed.
