MGC - Model Ultima CCM -Indirect Calorimeter
Cost-Effective assessment of ICU patients. A medical system can’t just look nice, it has to be able to improve patient care with intuitive, easy-to-use technology while optimizing functional capabilities. We designed the Ultima Series™ cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems to do just that. The Ultima CCM™ indirect calorimeter uses advanced technology and gas analysis to measure subjects in even the most challenging ventilator environments. Spontaneously breathing subjects can benefits as well, using one of the system’s comfortable patient interfaces which includes the preVent face mask or face tent.
- Patients with thermal injury and/or trauma are able to have optimal nutrition while those with metabolic and eating disorders are carefully monitored.
- Robust oxygen, carbon dioxide and breath-by-breath analysis to provide highly accurate resting energy expenditure (REE) and substrate utilization subject data to determine appropriate nutritional support.
- Cost-effective management of mechanically ventilated patients is possible by reducing the amount of vent days and time spent in the ICU.
The Ultima system’s all-in-one design allows for maximum testing comfort for the technician and the patient while utilizing the latest technology for unparalleled performance and reliability.
- Full adjustable desktop allows for expansive personal workspace whether the technologist is sitting for standing.
- Room-to-room portability with gas tanks.
- Scheduler allows for automatic warm-up so the system is always ready for testing.
The calibration tower allows for simplified gas calibration based on the test being performed (pulmonary function or metabolic) without compromising accuracy of test results and lab efficiency.
True Metabolic Assessment- Measurements can be obtained with breath-by-breath analysis or user-defined averaging.
- Gas sensors measure both oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Ventilator patients can be tested on elevated (above 60%) or fluctuating FiO2
- System is unaffected by ventilator pressure support/pressure control and bias flow.
- Windowing function excludes non–steady-state data resulting from patient disturbances or test initiation.
