The Quark CPET (Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Test) is the ideal solution for the assessment of physiological response to exercise. Its high quality components and super-fast analyzers assure unsurpassed accuracy, reliability and real breath-by-breath analysis of pulmonary gas exchange, even during high intensity exercise. The easy-to-use and intuitive software guides the user through calibration and test execution. The Quark CPET can be integrated with an optional 7-liter physical mixing chamber suitable for extremely high and low ventilation ranges. The Quark CPET is available in multiple configurations, including fully integrated 12-lead ECG Stress Testing, Canopy Nutritional Assessment, Pulse Oximetry and a wide range of ergometers.

The Quark RMR is a state-of-the-art metabolic cart designed for accurate measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) and respiratory ratio (R), in a non-invasive way, through the measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) together with other ventilatory parameters. Energy requirements are monitored accurately and instantaneously either on spontaneously breathing subjects with a flow-dilution canopy hood or (optionally) to mechanically-assisted patients by inserting directly at the patient’s circuit a disposable flowmeter (Flow-REE). The number of available configurations make the Quark RMR the most versatile metabolic cart for applied research in human physiology. Quark RMR’s accuracy and reliability have been validated against Gold Standard methods either with spontaneously breathing subjects (at rest and during exercise) and mechanically assisted patients.

Introduced by COSMED, worldwide leader in the design of metabolic systems for clinical and human performance applications, Q-NRG is the first Indirect Calorimeter specifically intended for Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) measurement on spontaneously breathing subjects.
