Comparison between the SpirofyTM Spirometer newly developed by Cipla Ltd. with an existing Spirometer (Vitalograph Alpha Touch Spirometer) in healthy, asthmatic and COPD Subjects

Completed
Conditions
Healthy Human Volunteers
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified, (2) ICD-10 Condition: J459||Other and unspecified asthma,
Registration Number
CTRI/2021/09/036492
Lead Sponsor
Cipla Limited
Brief Summary

The study will recruit 90 participants from two sites in India. Study participants will be Healthy Volunteers (30) , and patients of asthma (30) and COPD (30). Only subjects who are COVID Negative on RTPCR within 24-48 hours of the study visit will be enrolled. It is a single visit study where the subject will be asked to perform spirometry tests in the three spirometers in random order. The difference in FVC and FEV1 between the Spirofy and the Vitalograph Spirometer will be the primary end point and comparison of variability between the two Spirofy Devices is the secondary end point. We will use acceptable limits of agreement in accordance to the ATS reproducibility standard for FVC and FEV1 (0.15 L), and for comparative purpose, previously described 95% limits of agreement for validity of 0.50 L for FVC and 0.35 L for FEV1
