Table 2-Capacity Test Requirements
Capacity rating | Capacity (L of O2) | VO2 (L/min) | VCO2 (L/min) | Ve (L/min) | RF (Breaths/min) |
Cap 1 | 20 [LESS THAN EQUAL TO]L [LESS THAN EQUAL TO]59 | 2.50 | 2.50 | 55 | 22 |
Cap 2 | 60 [LESS THAN EQUAL TO]L [LESS THAN EQUAL TO]79 | 2.00 | 1.80 | 44 | 20 |
Cap 3 | L [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]80 | 1.35 | 1.15 | 30 | 18 |
VO2 = volume of oxygen consumed per minute; VCO2 = volume of carbon dioxide produced per minute.
Ve = ventilation rate in liters of air per minute; RF = respiratory frequency.
