Brief summary

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

DEVICECOSMED 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.

DEVICECalibre 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.

MeasureTime frameDescription
VO₂ peak correlation, as measured by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient between Calibre and COSMEDDuring CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days.VO₂ peak measured during CPET will be compared between devices using Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient, depending on data distribution.
VO₂ peak agreement, as measured by Bland-Altman bias and limits of agreement between Calibre and COSMEDDuring CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 days.VO₂ peak measured during CPET will be compared between devices using Bland-Altman analysis to estimate average bias and limits of agreement.
Anaerobic threshold correlation, as measured by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient between Calibre and COSMEDDuring CPET testing across Visit 1 and Visit 2, up to 7 daysAnaerobic threshold measured during CPET will be compared between devices using Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient, depending on data distribution.
