Validation of Fitmate versus "First Principles" Metabolic Calibrator

06 March 2009

COSMED's Fitmate has been validated against a “first principles” metabolic calibrator capable of delivering cyclic air flows of known tidal volume, frequency and gas makeup. “First principles” systems are advantageous in validation testing because their calibration is based solely on easily measured and verified quantities such as length and ti...
