7. Clinically stable with no significant changes in health status within the last 28 days prior to Visit 1
8. Are able to perform an acceptable spirometry session (defined as 3 acceptable or usable efforts per ATS/ERS criteria at Screening
9. Have not smoked tobacco within 28 days prior to Visit 1 and agree not to smoke for the duration of the study
10. Are able to and have given written informed consent (if they are adults) or assent in combination with consent of their legal representative(s) (if they are minors) in a manner approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee, and are willing to comply with the requirements of the study
