Syai Tag continuous glucose monitoring for ICU patients
Official title: Accuracy and Safety of the Syai Tag System for Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Intensive Internal Care Unit
Run by University Medical Centre Maribor · NCT07448805 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will try the Syai Tag continuous glucose monitor in adult ICU patients with arterial lines to see if its readings match standard arterial blood glucose tests.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults admitted to the ICU with an arterial line who are expected to stay more than 24 hours and have intact skin for sensor placement.
✕Probably not a fit
People under 18, pregnant patients, or those with skin changes preventing sensor application will not be eligible and are unlikely to benefit from this device in this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers at University Medical Centre Maribor will enroll at least 100 adult intensive care patients who require blood sugar monitoring and have an arterial line. Each participant will wear two small Syai Tag sensors on the upper arms that continuously record glucose while clinical teams perform routine arterial blood glucose measurements; the sensor readings will be hidden from staff. The study will compare paired sensor and arterial blood results to determine accuracy and will track any device-related safety issues. Patients under 18, pregnant individuals, or those with skin conditions preventing sensor placement will be excluded.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If accurate and safe, the device could provide continuous glucose data in critically ill patients and reduce the need for frequent arterial blood draws.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of continuous glucose monitors in ICU settings have shown mixed results, with some devices achieving acceptable accuracy and others falling short, so outcomes vary by device and setting.
