Differences in Exhaled Breath by Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) in Subjects Tested for SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19 Disease)

Completed
Conditions
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)
Covid19
Registration Number
NCT04649931
Lead Sponsor
B. Braun Melsungen AG
Brief Summary

Breath gas analysis is the evaluation of exhaled breath. It aims to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath.

In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific peaks/pattern in exhaled breath indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).
