Demonstrated ability to use the I-neb AAD system at screening. 6.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. A history of life-threatening COPD including Intensive Care Unit admission and/or requiring intubation. 2. A history of > 1 hospitalisation for COPD in the previous 2 years prior to screening visit 1. 3. Evidence of cor pulmonale, clinically significant pulmonary hypertension and chronic use of oxygen. 4. Upper or lower respiratory tract infection, including exacerbation of COPD, within 6 weeks of screening. 5. Patients with a current diagnosis of asthma, active tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung fibrosis, interstitial lung diseases or other active pulmonary diseases. 6. Patients with a history of chronic disease including, but not limited to, sleep apnoea, cardiovascular, endocrine, neurological, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, hematological, urological, immunological, or ophthalmic diseases that the Investigator believes are clinically significant. 7. Previous lung resection or lung reduction surgery. 8. Pregnant or nursing females. 9. Any abnormal or clinically significant ECG or lab values that the Investigator considers would put the subject at risk through participation. 10. A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive Hepatitis C antibody result, or positive test for HIV antibody at the screening visit (or within the 3 months prior to screening). 11. Positive test for drugs of abuse at screening that cannot be satisfactorily explained by a prescription history (e.g., recent use of codeine tablets). 12. History of alcohol abuse within the previous 6 months. 13. Has had major surgery, (requiring general anesthesia) within 6 weeks before screening visit 2, or will not have fully recovered from surgery, or planned surgery through the end of the study. 15. A disclosed history, or one known to the Investigator, of significant noncompliance in previous investigational studies or with prescribed medications. 16. Allergy to any of the active or inactive ingredients in the study medication, or history of drug, or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator or RespiVert medical monitor, would contraindicate their participation. 17. Donation of blood in excess of 500 mL within a 3 month period prior to dosing, or if study participation would result in blood loss in excess of 500 mL in a 3 month period. 18. Patient is mentally or legally incapacitated. 19. Has any condition or are taking a medication that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make participation not be in the best interest (i.e., compromise the well-being) of the patient or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments. 20. Is an employee of the Investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the Investigator.
