COSMED - Model Q-NRG+ -Metabolic Monitor
Q-NRG is the first Indirect Calorimeter specifically intended for Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) in patients who are mechanically ventilated or spontaneously breathing and for healthy subjects. Indirect calorimetry provides an individual and dynamic metabolic assessment based on the actual physical status of the subject rather than estimating it on anthropometric data. Q-NRG is the result of COSMED’s collaboration with world-class institutes in the field of nutrition. Product concept and specifications have been designed together with the ICALIC Trial study group. This collaboration made possible the development of an accurate metabolic system simple to use.
Individual assessment
Q-NRG uses Indirect Calorimetry to assess metabolism. Test results faithfully represent patients` metabolic status providing precious indications on disease evolution or response to nutrition support plans.
Gold Standard
Q-NRG is the result of more than 30 years of experience in the design of metabolic systems. The calorimeter has been validated in-vitro and in-vivo by international multicentre studies.
Quick to operate, clean and maintain
Q-NRG has been designed to reduce operations and measurement time. System does not require warm-up time nor user-assisted calibrations, all operations can be performed with a few taps on the screen.
Easy workflow
Designed for clinical practice, meeting the scientific community highest standards. An intuitive workflow supports the user through all operations with main instructions prompted along the procedures.
Compact
Q-NRG is a lightweight, battery operating device. The compact design guarantees extreme portability without renouncing to the comfort of a wide color LCD touchscreen.
Affordable
Q-NRG has been designed to compete with conventional metabolic systems, at a fraction of the cost. Its use aims to reduce patients` length of stay and, ultimately, decrease costs in ICU.
