The Increase of Lung Capacity Using the Lung Master (Pulmonary Exerciser)
Investigators are studying how a device called The Lung Master device can help people breathe better. The investigational device increases the amount of air our lungs can hold, which is important for overall lung health. The Lung Master is not approved by the FDA. The study has two visits approximately one month apart.

| Summary | Investigators are studying how a device called The Lung Master device can help people breathe better. The investigational device increases the amount of air our lungs can hold, which is important for overall lung health. The Lung Master is not approved by the FDA. The study has two visits approximately one month apart. In the first visit participants will take a spirometry test, particularly forced vital capacity (FVC), to measure volume change in the lungs. Participants will take the investigational device home to use daily, either in the morning or evening. Use will be recorded in a diary. After one month, participants will return for another spirometry test. Each study visit will take about one to two hours to complete. |
