| Data Accuracy |
Spirometer: Values met American Thoracic Society guidelines for quality data: - FEV1/FVC ratio below 1.00 - In triplicate readings, the two largest FEV1 values are within a reading are within 0.150 L of each other - In triplicate readings, the two largest FVC values are within 0.150 L of each other |
94% |
| Spirometer: Portable spirometer is sensitive enough to detect variations in lung function within-day and within the study period. | See Fig. 6 | |
| Spirometer: Maintains calibration during study duration (Within 2.5% of known volume) | 100% |
