The COSMED Quark RMR with the ICU option has been recently assessed to be a suitable indirect calorimeter to be coupled with a mechanical ventilator in an intensive care unit setting.

A validation of Fitmate PRO by the University of Tennessee was published recently in the prestigious Journal of Strength and Conditioning.

A validation study of Quark RMR by CRNHR was published on the 6th issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism.

In this study the measurements of two different indirect calorimeters from COSMED (Fitmate and Quark RMR) were correlated and analysed for better adequacy.

COSMED's Quark CPET has been validated against a “first principles” metabolic calibrator capable of delivering cyclic air flows of known tidal volume, frequency and gas makeup.
