The MLS240 Metabolic Module is intended primarily
for use with the Exercise
Physiology System which includes a combination of the following hardware:
PowerLab System, Spirometer and Flow Head, Gas Analyzer, Gas Mixing Chamber,
Temperature Pod and accessories.
The Metabolic Module Module should be used with the latest version of Chart. Click here for the latest Chart Update for Macintosh.
The Metabolic Module in combination with the ADInstruments hardware
is ideal in the determination of cardiorespiratory function and exercise
physiology measurements. Typical applications include metabolic measurements,
respiratory gas analysis, student exercise testing, pulmonary function
analysis, indirect calorimetry, anaerobic threshold, biopotential measurements
and spirometry.
A recording of expired Flow and gas concentrations (CO2 and O2), RER
vs Time
and VCO2 vs VO2. As the data is being collected in Chart the
graphs are updated continuously.
The Metabolic Module records CO2 and O2 concentrations
from air sampled from a gas mixing chamber and interprets these values
in real time to provide measurements of metabolic parameters such as:
VCO2/min, VO2/min, VE/min and RER.
The module provides options for setting subject details,
recording parameters and environmental conditions using the Metabolic
Settings dialog box. These include:
- Hardware preferences: choice of the PowerLab/8M or other “Custom” hardware
- Subject details: name, age, weight, height, gender, id number, comments
- Calibration preferences: settings for automated first and second
gas calibrations
- General preferences: Averaging time (data logging) and recording
time (duration of experiment) settings
- Environment settings: Expired/inspired, atmospheric and air conditions.
The Metabolic Module also provides eight windows for viewing results
of the metabolic calculations in real time and offline:
Metabolic menu showing the eight available windows. Metabolic settings
and the automated calibration are also selected within the Metabolic
menu.
The Metabolic Log window updates the values in real time, periodically,
as set by the user in the Metabolic Settings dialog box.
These values
are used to plot in real time or offline plots listed above.The Metabolic Module is also available as part of Chart Pro. Visit the Chart Pro information page prior to making a purchasing decision. Existing Chart users and PowerLab system purchasers can upgrade to Chart Pro at a special price. If you need more information please contact your ADInstruments representative.
