1. Overview
A compact, highly accurate indirect calorimetry (metabolic) measurement device, specifically designed for clinical, nutritional, and professional fitness environments.
2. Measured Parameters
- Oxygen consumption (VO₂).
- Resting Energy Expenditure (REE / RMR).
- Estimated Total Energy Expenditure (TEE).
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, predictive modeling).
3. Technology
- Operates on an open-circuit gas analysis system.
- Equipped with a high-fidelity O₂ sensor (note: does not directly measure CO₂).
- Calculates VCO₂ and Respiratory Quotient (RQ) via scientifically validated predictive algorithms.
4. Connectivity
- Direct USB connection to a PC.
- Includes the Fitmate Suite software, tailored for comprehensive nutrition, fitness, and clinical tracking.
- Direct-to-printer capability for immediate, professional report generation.
5. Typical Uses
- Precise nutritional assessments and guided weight loss programs.
- Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and clinical metabolic tracking.
- Baseline physical fitness and VO₂max evaluations.
6. Physical Characteristics
- Weight: approx. 2 kg.
- Highly portable, compact desktop design.
