CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE SYSTEM Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides a global assessment of the integrative exercise responses involving the pulmonary and cardiovascular system. Ergospirometry is increasingly being used in a wide spectrum of clinical applications for the evaluation of undiagnosed exercise intolerance and exercise-related symptoms. Exercise modes • • • • Bicycle and treadmill Selectable and user definable exercise testing protocols Progressive incremental bicycle exercise protocols Step and Ramp Comfortable solutions for the patient and for medical staff as well • • • • Extremely small and light patient circuit PinkFlow flow meter without any moving parts and electrical connection Single use or disinfectable patient circuit Automatic calibration and self test Maximal incremental treadmill protocols Bruce protocol and Balke protocol Constant work rate protocol Multistage exercise protocol with a pseudo steady state at each level Discontinuous protocol Measurement modes • • • • • • • • Breath by breath gas analysis Mixing chamber gas analysis (optional) FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) measurement IVC (Inspiratory Vital Capacity) measurement MVV (Maximal Voluntary Ventilation) measurement Normal ECG recording Wasserman
