Fitmate MED PDF Print E-mail


The first & unique diagnostic system for a complete Cardiopulmonary Assessment


• maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and measured METs.
•classification of Exercise Capacity & Anaerobic Threshold
•nutritional Assessment and resting VO2 for Fick equation
•full Spirometry (FVC, SVC, MVV etc.)
•multiple scores for Cardio Vascular and Pulmonary Risk analysis
•body-composition & comprehensive Weight Management software
•interfaces with conventional Stress testing ECG

 

VO2max and real METS

 

-choose between maximal and submaximal exercise protocols
-real time display of pertinent respiratory parameters
-automatic and manual detection of anaerobic threshold
-pre-defined or custom exercise protocols (Bruce, cycle, ramp etc.)

-automatic exercise training heart rate zones based on oxygen uptake
-automatic control of the most common cycle and treadmill ergometers
with cable interface

Resting Energy Expenditure

 

Fitmate measures oxygen consumption (VO2) at rest with a specialised low-flow
flowmeter (supplied), ensuring high accuracy, comparable with conventional
metabolic carts. Measurements include resting energy expenditure (REE), resting
metabolic rate (RMR) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in Kcal/day.

 

 

Spirometry


-Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
-PRE & POST bronchial dilator response
-Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV)
-Slow Vital Capacity SVC (Inspiratory & Expiratory)
-Automatic diagnosis complying with ERS and ATS recommendations

 

Fitmate MED is the first diagnostic equipment designed to provide a
full picture about Cardiopulmonary Function. Fitmate MED measures
maximal Oxygen Uptake that is the Gold standard for measuring Exercise
Capacity and quantify Aerobic Fitness. Together with exercise electrocardiography,
Fitmate Med enables you to complete the cardiovascular stress test without
the need of expensive investment, complicated procedures or specialist
expertise. Rehabilitation of the patient is managed with exercise prescription
and weight management software according to established international
guidelines

 

Risk Stratification

-Duke Treadmill Score
-Framingham Index
-European Heart Score
-Bode Index

Other Measurements

 

-Individual weight management Programs based on Energy balance
equation (built-in features)
-Standard Measurements (BMI, WHR BP, etc.)
-Daily caloric intake (software only)
-Lifestyle monitoring (software tools included)

Clinical applications of VO2


• actual measurement of Exercise Capacity and METs (not-estimated)
• pre-operative evaluation of surgical risk
• classification and prognosis of CHF (congestive heart failure)
• provision of objective selection criteria for heart transplant
• decision tool for heart transplantations
• differentiation of Cardiac vs. Pulmonary limitations
• determination of exercise training intensity as part of Cardiac Rehabilitation
• measurement of Resting Energy expenditure, providing optimal nutrition for recovery from illness and chronic health management
• obesity treatment and diabetes type II prevention
• identification of energy requirements for Respiratory disorders (COPD, Sleep disorders, Cystic Fibrosis)

 

Accurate:                                          Fitmate MED has been validated against the “gold standard” Douglas Bag technique for VO2
                                                            measurements at rest and during exercise.

Portable, Desktop-size:                Compact, light battery or mains operating.

 

Built-in printer:                               Integrated fast thermal printer delivers high quality reports in few seconds.


Self-Calibrating:                             Auto-calibration in less than 20 seconds using room air. No need for special gases or tanks.


No warm-up time:                         Plug it in and Fitmate MED is ready for use.


No maintenance:                          No on-site or self servicing required. Low-cost oxygen sensor replacement required after 12-18
                                                         months (automatic warning).


Quality Control:                            Warnings and quality control messages (mask leaks, breathing pattern etc.) are displayed during test.


Face Masks:                                   5 sized masks are available for exercise testing and one universal size disposable mask with
                                                         antibacterial filter for REE testing.


Optional oxygen saturation:     SpO2 finger probe available for resting measurements.
