K5
Wearable metabolic system for both field and laboratory testing
OVERVIEW
The K5 is the fourth generation of COSMED’s wearable metabolic system, built on more than 25 years of COSMED experience in metabolic measurement.
Designed for clinical, research and performance environments, the K5 supports applications ranging from cardiology-focused exercise testing to advanced human performance assessment.
Its expanded feature set allows metabolic testing to move seamlessly from the clinic to the field, all in a fully wearable solution.
K5 is a medical device.

KEY FEATURES
Dual gas sampling technology
IntelliMET™ enables dual gas sampling through both a micro-dynamic mixing chamber and breath-by-breath analysis. Users can select the appropriate modality based on the testing protocol, research focus, or clinical application.
Wireless connectivity
The K5 supports reliable wireless data transmission via standard and long-distance Bluetooth, enabling seamless integration with external devices such as wireless pulse oximeters.
Rugged design
The K5 is built to an IP54 standard, with sealed plugs, connectors, and caps that provide resistance to water, moisture, and dust.
Intuitive user interface
The K5 display is designed for easy navigation and quick access to features. A taskbar provides at-a-glance information including time, date, battery status, Bluetooth, GPS, and system notifications.
ANT+ certified
The K5 integrates with the world’s largest network of sport sensors, supporting more than 440 compatible products. Up to eight wireless devices can be connected simultaneously for synchronized data collection.
Omnia Software
The K5 includes OMNIA, COSMED’s modular software suite, featuring an intuitive interface and guided workflows that reduce training time and simplify daily operation.

PRODUCT INSIGHT
The K5 is designed with a focus on accuracy and usability.
This new generation introduces COSMED’s patented technologies
for gas exchange measurement.


Harness
Adjustable, padded harness designed for comfort, ergonomic support, and secure fit during field testing.

Face Mask
Multi-use silicone face masks with headgear, designed for comfortable, leak-free gas exchange measurements at rest and during exercise.

HR Rate Monitor
Chest strap heart rate monitors for HR integration during metabolic testing, supporting both Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity.

GPS sensor
An integrated, high-accuracy GPS sensor enables real-time tracking of navigation data and post-test analysis using an interactive mapping software.

Wireless Connectivity
Long-distance Bluetooth enables data transmission up to 1,000 m, compared to 10 m with standard Bluetooth.

Connections
Sealed plugs, connectors, and caps provide protection against water, moisture, and dust.

ANT+ Sensors
The K5 integrates with the world’s largest network of sport sensors, supporting more than 440 compatible products. Up to eight wireless devices can be connected simultaneously for synchronized data collection.
