Physicians can screen for abnormally low metabolic rates and pinpoint the precise caloric intake required for weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain. Applications include nutritional assessments required to treat obesity as well as obesity related diseases such as metabolic syndrome, sleep disorders, diabetes, and thyroid disorders.

A calorimeter is a device used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity. Differential scanning calorimeters, isothermal micro calorimeters, titration calorimeters and accelerated rate calorimeters are among the most common types.

Energy needs in critically ill patients are dynamic 1 and ASPEN guidelines suggest/recommend Indirect Calorimetry (IC) to measure Resting Energy Expenditure (REE). 2,3 Q-NRG+, the next generation of IC technology, enables individualized metabolic measurements to …

The MedGem indirect calorimetry device is a clinically-validated and FDA 510K-cleared, class II, medical device for measurement of patient resting metabolic rate (RMR). The MedGem is an easy-to-use, handheld device that accurately measures oxygen consumption (VO2) to determine resting metabolic rate (RMR)*.

Q-NRG+ is the next generation of Indirect Calorimetry (IC), enabling fast, accurate and intuitive Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) measurements.

Indirect Calorimetry analyzes the metabolic process in the body to determine your daily resting energy expenditure (REE) or your calorie needs at rest. MGC diagnostics systems can be used by clinicians and dieticians in a hospital environment or private practice.

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

The Omnical technology is designed to measure energy metabolism ranging from resting metabolism rate (RMR), sports performance testing (e.g. VO 2 max tests) to whole body room calorimetry with high accuracy.

Indirect calorimetry accurately determines REE, i.e. RMR using the Weir equation by only accurately measuring both O2 & CO2.

Indirect calorimetry equipment is an invaluable, power full tool in metabolic research studies, allowing research in many fields, from fundamental research, nutrition assessment up to sport sciences. Researchers need reliable, validated results and a system that allows them to easily conduct various studies.
