Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to quality control of pulmonary function test (PFT) devices. In particular, but not by way of limitation, the present invention relates to systems and methods for characterizing or verifying the measurement accuracy of pulmonary function testing devices used for measuring dynamic lung volumes (tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), divisions thereof, and any other suitable dynamic lung volume) using spirometry, static and/or absolute lung volumes (total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), divisions thereof, and any other suitable absolute lung volume) using washout, dilution, and/or plethysmographic methods, and/or gas exchange, such as single-breath determination of carbon monoxide uptake in the lung (DLCO).
