The purpose of this study is to calibrate the average breathing rate measurement of the PAD-2A device to be within ±2 breaths per minute of clinical capnography breathing rate measurements.
The plan for this study is to calibrate the average breathing rate measurement of the PAD-2A device with the breathing rate measurement of a standard clinical capnography device. The data will be collected and analyzed in order to calibrate the PAD-2A device via the capnography measures by adjusting the device algorithm for the breathing rate measurements to be within ±2 breaths per minute. Additionally, the secondary objective of this study is to compare the clinical standard respiratory rate measurement of capnography with the respiratory rate measurements of other standard clinical respiratory devices (i.e. nasal pressure transducer, thermistor, and the respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) belts of the chest and abdomen).

This is an observational study of the average breathing rate measurement of a non-invasive wrist cuff device. The purpose of this study is to calibrate the average breathing rate measurement of the Pulsewave Health Monitor (PAD-2A) wrist cuff device with the breathing rate measurement of a standard clinical capnography device. Additionally, we will also compare the average breathing rate measurement of the capnography device with other standard clinical respiratory devices (i.e. nasal pressure transducer, thermistor, and respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) belts of the chest and abdomen).
