A Comparison of Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Measurements Using the iCOquit Smokerlyzer and Vitalograph Breath CO Monitor vs Carboxyhemoglobin From Venous Samples While Validating a Mobile Research Application

The main objective of this study is to determine the accuracy and precision of the iCOquit Smokerlyzer as compared with the gold standard of COHb levels measured in venous plasma samples, as well as assessing its agreement with the Vitalograph BreathCO monitor. Validating the precision and accuracy of the iCOquit Smokerlyzer could establish an additional, less expensive, reliable method for determining smoking status in tobacco research. Additionally, the portability of the device would allow for remote biochemical verification of smoking status, thus enlarging the number of participants that can be included in intervention studies.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has signed the ICF and is able to read and understand the information provided in the ICF.
2. Is 21 to 65 years of age (inclusive) at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Is unhealthy or cannot participate in the study for any reason (e.g., medical, psychiatric, and/or social reason) as judged by the Investigators or designated medical staff based on all available assessments from the screening period (e.g., vital signs, physical examination, concomitant medications and medical history).

2. PHQ-9 score greater than 9, or a score greater than 0 on item #9 ("Thoughts you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way") at screening.
