Manipulation of the ventilator circuit may cause leaks that may lower alveolar ventilation. If the calorimetry machine doesnt register the chamber temperature, the room temperature in which the machine resides can be reported instead. the accuracy of repeated measures on the same machine (i.e. Make sure that the patients cuff pressure is high enough to avoidĪir leakage. Indirect calorimetry is a method used to estimate RMR and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). No modification of this device is allowed.Ĭarefully re-check ventilator functionality after connection of the parts. In case of disturbing conditions, the shutdown is allowed because the safety of the device towards patients and operators is not affected, since the final evaluation is performed on the outcome data measured during a complete test. This device measures clinical parameters used to aid diagnosis and it is intended only as an adjunct device in patient assessment. The Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitors are intended to be used in professional healthcare facilities only. Ventilated subjects age >10 yrs and >10 kg (22 lb).

Spontaneously breathing subjects age >6 yrs and >10 kg (22 lb) when using a face mask.Spontaneously breathing subjects >15 kg (33 lb) when using a canopy.The Q-NRG+ portable Metabolic Monitors are indicated for the measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) for spontaneously breathing and ventilated patients, within the following populations:
