If exercise testing is done, the maximum oxygen consumption is 15-17.4cc/kilo/min.(6) The FVC is equal to or less than fifty percent of predicted or the FEV1 is equal to or less than forty percent of predicted. The FEV1/FVC ratio is equal to or less than .40. If exercise testing is done, the maximum oxygen consumption is less than 15cc/kilo/min.Wash. Admin. Code § 296-20-380
