Comparison of RightSpot pH Indicator & RightLevel pH Detector With X-Ray Verification for FT or G-Tube Placement

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Gastrostomy

In brief

Replacing a G tube and placing feeding tubes is standard in the Emergency Department (ED) and ICU, respectively. However placement requires a chest or abdominal x-ray to confirm correct position. The investigators are testing the accuracy of the FDA approved devices RightSpot pH Indicator \& RightLevel pH Detector in determining correct position based upon pH which will then be correlated with the standard of care x-ray.
