Quark RMR
The gold standard for metabolic measurements in applied human physiology
OVERVIEW
The Quark RMR is a high-performance metabolic cart designed for gas exchange analysis (VO₂, VCO₂) during both rest and exercise testing.
With multiple configuration options, Quark RMR offers exceptional versatility for applied research and high performance testing.
Its accuracy and reliability have been validated against gold-standard methods in both spontaneously breathing subjects, at rest and during exercise, and mechanically ventilated patients.
Quark RMR is a medical device.

KEY FEATURES
From rest to exercise
From resting metabolic testing with the gold standard canopy, to high-intensity exercise, in a single configurable system.
Proven Reliability
A fast-response analyzers deliver reliable data over the system’s lifetime, without routine sensor replacement.
Breath by Breath
& Mixing Chamber
The Quark RMR supports breath-by-breath gas exchange analysis and can be equipped with a physical mixing chamber for cardiopulmonary exercise testing at high intensities.
Advanced data analysis
A powerful software engine supports comprehensive metabolic analysis, including regressions, curve fitting, steady-state analysis, and O2 kinetics.
COSMED Ecosystem
A single software platform enables integration of data from multiple COSMED systems, creating a unified ecosystem for metabolic, body composition, and ECG data.
OMNIA Software
The Quark RMR 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 Quark RMR can be configured to meet specific testing requirements and offers a cost-effective starting point with the flexibility to scale to more advanced configurations over time.
