Analyse de la consommation d'oxygène (VO₂) et de la production de dioxyde de carbone (VCO₂) pendant l'exercice.
1. Definition
The MetaLyzer 3B is a portable spiroergometry system operating in breath-by-breath mode.
It provides precise analysis of respiratory, cardiac, and metabolic functions, both at rest and during exercise.
2. Sensors and Measurements
- Oxygen (O₂) Sensor
- Type: Electrochemical cell (fuel cell).
- Measurement range: 0 – 100% vol.
- Accuracy: ± 0.1%.
- Response time (T90): < 100 ms.
2.2 Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Sensor
- Type: NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared).
- Measurement range: up to 13% vol.
- Accuracy: ± 0.1%.
- Response time (T90): < 100 ms.
- Flow / Respiratory Volume
