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.
