Real-world diffusing capacity simulation data: how well do they fit current European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society acceptability criteria?

ERS/ATS D LCO standards recommend acceptability ranges for weekly D LCO simulation testing performed with a 3-L syringe. On some devices, the ERS/ATS limits may exceed or not fit a 3-sd range, in which case, simulation ranges based on 3 sd may be appropriate. https://bit.ly/3Z0YoZL.
