Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Breath gas analysis is the evaluation of exhaled breath. It aims to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath.

In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific peaks/pattern in exhaled breath indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS)

Two breathing gas samples will be taken from each study participant using ion mobility spectrometry with an ultrasound-based spirometer. The total sampling time is 1 minute (at least 5-7 breath takes) following an analysis time of 5-12 minutes.

Intervention Type DEVICE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* PCR (= Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing for SARS CoV-2 will be/has been performed in a timely manner of sampling exhaled breath or PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 was performed within 96 hours, but preferably within 48 hours before sampling exhaled breath and PCR test result is already available
* Subject must be able to comply with study-specific procedures, e.g.is able to comply with breathing commands

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous (history) SARS-CoV-2 infection, independent of the current episode
* Participation in a therapeutic study prior to breath analysis which could influence the result of the breath analysis
