Complete CPET Metabolic Cart: bicycle ergometer, 12-lead ECG, CPET measuring unit, measurement PC, and monitors on the equipment cart

CPET Metabolic Cart

ONE METABOLIC CART. EVERYTHING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE.

The complete CPET metabolic cart from a single source: ergometer, 12-lead ECG, METALYZER® 3B or METAMAX® 3B, PC, and software.

CORTEX supplies more than the CPET alone. On request, we put together the complete CPET metabolic cart.

From the ergometer (bicycle or treadmill) and the 12-lead ECG to the measurement PC, monitors, and equipment cart. All components are matched to each other and controlled centrally from MetaSoft® Studio.

And no two metabolic carts are alike: we configure ergometer, ECG, and equipment individually based on field of use, room, and existing devices. Our consultants are happy to support you with planning and selection.

    Individual consulting

MetaSoft® Studio

Reliably connected

An examination runs only as smoothly as the software behind it. MetaSoft® Studio controls the entire test workflow, from load protocol to connected devices to test report.

Every measurement is preserved as a raw data set and remains traceable. You focus on the examination while the technology works in the background.

Whether in the lab, in the practice, or in the field: it is the same software with the same workflow, and all results land in the same evaluation.
