The primary purpose of the investigation is to demonstrate the claimed clinical benefit and safety of Injeq IQ-Tip™ system.~IQ-Tip™ is similar to common spinal needles with a custom-made stylet that enables the real-time bioimpedance measurement at the tip of the needle. The needle is connected to the analyzer device, which provides real-time CSF detection during lumbar puncture from the very tip of the needle and by these means assists conducting the medical procedure.~The investigation aims to demonstrate the first puncture success rate, as proxy of clinical benefit and clinical performance, of bioimpedance spectroscopy based spinal needle guidance method among pediatric hemato-oncology patients requiring lumbar punctures.~The investigation is conducted in the pediatric hematology and oncology units of three Finnish university hospitals
