Respiratory Monitoring System Safety and Performance Study

Description

The goal of this observational study is collect data to evaluate the efficacy of the RMS system in monitoring, recording, and presenting respiratory function data to the user in participants scheduled for pulmonary function testing (PFT). Participants will complete: * 60 episodes of data collection with a decreased tidal volume * 30 episodes of data collection with an increased tidal volume * 80 episodes with normal tidal volume breathing The TSS will continuously transmit sound data to an adjacent personal computer (PC) via Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE). TSS trachea sound data will be recorded on the PC and then transmitted via a secure wireless network to an RTM cloud account that is HIPPA compliant. Reference breathing data will be simultaneously recorded using an FDA approved hospital ventilator (Hamilton Medical, HAMILTON-C1) with a calibrated pneumotach, capnometer, and a tight-fitting face mask. This system accurately measures and records a spontaneously breathing patient's RR, TV, MV, and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration.
