Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 100
Healthy volunteers: yes

Brief summary:
The purpose is to evaluate the ease of use and technical challenges encountered during subcutaneous infusion of Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution, preceded by recombinant human hyaluronidase (hylenex), utilizing commonly used angiocatheter gauges and button delivery systems. The safety and tolerability of hylenex-augmented SC infusion of LR through these delivery systems is also being evaluated.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 24-gauge, 0.75 inch long, Teflon angiocatheter secured with Tegaderm arm 2: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 24-gauge, 0.75 inch long, Teflon angiocatheter secured with a tape double chevron arm 3: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 24-gauge, 0.75 inch long, polyurethane angiocatheter secured with Tegaderm arm 4: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 24-gauge, 0.75 inch long, polyurethane angiocatheter secured with a tape double chevron arm 5: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 20-gauge, 1.0 inch long, Teflon angiocatheter secured with Tegaderm arm 6: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 20-gauge, 1.0 inch long, Teflon angiocatheter secured with a tape double chevron arm 7: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 20-gauge, 1.0 inch long, polyurethane angiocatheter secured with Tegaderm arm 8: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a 20-gauge, 1.0 inch long, polyurethane angiocatheter secured with a tape double chevron arm 9: subcutaneous administration of a single 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion (delivered by large volume infusion pump) of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution, both delivered through a button-type subcutaneous delivery system (with a 27-gauge, 9 mm long metal needle)

Interventions: intervention 1: hylenex-facilitated subcutaneous Lactated Ringer's infusion
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: single subcutaneous 150 U dose of hylenex, followed by subcutaneous infusion of 1000 mL Lactated Ringer's solution
