WITHOUT CENTRALIZATION, EXPECT UP TO 50% DLCO DATA VARIABILITY ACROSS DIFFERENT SITES IDENTIFY DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS NOT VISIBLE BY SPIROMETRY ALONE Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is a pulmonary function test that measures the gas exchange ability of the lungs. DLCO measurement is a very valuable test to determine clinical endpoints in asthma, COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and cystic fibrosis clinical studies, as well as in clinical research for inhaled drugs or compounds impacting diffusing capacity. Repeated DLCO measurements aid in determining disease progression and therapy efficacy that would not be obtainable by standard spirometry or imaging. Independent studies have shown that when different devices and processes are used by respiratory t
