Section 3: Sweat Induction and Analysis
Notes Regarding Sweat Rate
Established sweat testing guidelines specify a minimum sweat rate of 1 g/m
2
/min for a sweat test to
be considered valid in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. ELITechGroup recommends that a physician be
consulted before interpreting sweat test results if a sweat rate of at least 1 g/m
2
/min is not achieved. To
provide the most information for subsequent consideration, the Nanoduct 1030 will display an initial sweat
rate reading even if it is below 1 g/m
2
/min and provide a sweat electrolyte concentration measurement.
