Quark RMR

The gold standard for metabolic measurements in applied human physiology

OVERVIEW

The Quark RMR is a state-of-the-art metabolic cart for gas exchange analysis (VO2, VCO2) either at rest or during exercise.

The available configurations make the Quark RMR the most versatile metabolic cart for applied research in human physiology.

Quark RMR’s accuracy and reliability have been validated against Gold Standard methods either with spontaneously breathing subjects (at rest and during exercise) and mechanically ventilated patients.

  • Quark RMR is a medical device.

KEY FEATURES

From rest to exercise icon

From rest to exercise

Complete metabolic assessment from resting to high-intensity exercise with a wide range of interfaced devices and in multiple configurations.

Unsurpassed reliability icon

Unsurpassed reliability

Fast-response, stable, and durable paramagnetic O2 sensor and rapid infrared CO2 sensor ensure reliable data over the device lifetime without requiring replacement.

Breath by Breath & Mixing Chamber icon

Breath by Breath
& Mixing Chamber

Quark RMR includes Breath-by-Breath sampling technology. A physical Mixing Chamber is also available for cardiopulmonary exercise tests performed at high intensities.

Advanced data analysis icon

Advanced data analysis

A powerful software engine allows to perform a comprehensive analysis of the metabolic parameters, including computing regressions, fittings, steady-state analysis, O2 kinetics and much more.

COSMED Ecosystem icon

COSMED Ecosystem

A single software platform makes it possible to integrate data from different COSMED devices into a comprehensive ecosystem (Body Composition, EGC, etc).

Omnia Software icon

OMNIA Software

Quark RMR includes OMNIA, the modular software suite from COSMED with an innovative user interface. OMNIA's intuitive workflow allows users to operate devices with no need for a long adaptation period.

PRODUCT INSIGHT

Quark RMR can be configured according to specific testing requirements.
This cost-effective solution provides the opportunity to scale at any time to a more complex configuration.
