Official title
Correlation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) VO2 Max Parameters Between the Calibre Device and COSMED Metabolic Cart
Overview
This study evaluates agreement between the Calibre device and the COSMED Quark CPET system for measurement of cardiorespiratory fitness parameters during maximal exercise testing in adults aged 18-55 years.
Interventions
- Device COSMED Quark CPET metabolic cart
FDA-cleared cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) metabolic cart used as the reference comparator for measurement of respiratory gas exchange and ventilatory parameters during ramp cycle ergometry. Participants wear a facemask connected to the system for breath-by-breath measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), minute ventilation (VE), anaerobic threshold, and ventilatory efficiency during maximal exercise testing. - Device Calibre Biometrics
Investigational wearable facemask device with integrated sensors for breath-by-breath measurement of respiratory gas exchange and ventilatory parameters during cardiopulmonary exercise testing, evaluated against the COSMED Quark CPET reference system.
Primary outcome measures
- VO₂ peak correlation, as measured by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days.]
- VO₂ peak agreement, as measured by Bland-Altman bias and limits of agreement between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days.]
- Anaerobic threshold correlation, as measured by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days]
- Anaerobic threshold agreement, as measured by Bland-Altman bias and limits of agreement between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days]
- VE/VCO₂ correlation, as measured by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days]
- VE/VCO₂ agreement, as measured by Bland-Altman bias and limits of agreement between Calibre and COSMED [Time frame: During CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days]
