CosMed Q-NRG

Q-NRG is the first Indirect Calorimeter specifically intended for Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) measurement on spontaneously breathing subjects.

Designed for Clinical Practice Q-NRG usability has been designed according to best clinical practice. An intuitive workflow supports the user through all operations with main instructions prompted along the procedures and test information always accessible. Designed to be portable, the device can be easily transported between rooms.

Standalone or PC based user mode. Q-NRG can be operated either via the integrated LCD touchscreen or controlled from a computer via OMNIA PC software (optional), with data transfer done wireless through Bluetooth® or USB interfaces.

• Resting Energy Expenditure in spontaneously breathing subjects
• Full Metabolic Assessment (REE, VO2, VCO2, VE, RQ etc)
• Compact, lightweight, battery and main operated
• Test subjects with Canopy or (optional) Face Mask
• Immediate, simple set-up and system operation
• Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance
• No daily gas calibration required

Indirect calorimetry remains the Gold Standard in measuring energy expenditure in clinical settings, proven to have enormous advantages compared to Predictive Equations. In fact, this measuring technology provides an individual and dynamic metabolic assessment based on the actual physical status of the subject rather than estimating it on anthropometric data.
