Contact a Sales Rep
Overview

The Ergocard CPX provides solutions for:

  • Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
  • Pre-operative assessment
  • Rehabilitation  - Post Heart / Lung Surgery
  • Sports Science including Adults to pediatrics

The Ergocard CPX is available in two models: Clinical and Professional.

Ergocard CPX Clinical is an ideal budget system for multiple test centres with networking, pre-operative assessment and clinical work, utilising non-dispersive infrared CO2 and electrochemical O2 sensor with the prevent® flow sensor.

Ergocard CPX Professional adds value to the Research user with the additional of indirect Fick Cardiac Output measurement, The device expands to full CPET/PFT functionality with multiple options (lung diffusion capacity, cardiac output by C2H2 disolution , lung volumes measurement, etc.) using a non-dispersive infrared CO2 and laser spectroscopy O2 sensor.

  • Semi-disposable / reusable  preVent® flow sensor, flow measurement from 0 to 15 l/s.
  • Integrated weather station (temperature, humidity and barometric pressure) for BTPS correction of the volume.
  • Complete basic spirometry measurement, with Forced Vital Capacity, Slow Vital Capacity, Maximum Voluntary Ventilation and Minute Tidal Ventilation including bronchial provocation testing software.
  • Flow limitation during Exercise and Inspiratory Capacity change as a function of FRC change during exercise
  • Integrated NONIN SpO2 pulse oximetry standard for Professional or added option in the Clinical system
  • Also ability to have a direct interface and control with:
    • Cardioline, Mortara, General Electric or Custo-Med ECG
    • Ergometers and treadmills
    • TangoTM automatic blood pressure module with exercise artefact rejection using QRS Synchronisation 
    • For simple Heart Rate use of a three electrode chest belt
  • Low cost of operation and low maintenance.
  • Compact system with cart or table-top configurations.
  • Expair software suite with complete operator and patient guide included.


The Ergocard CPX can be combined with the following devices:

  • Micro 5000 spirometer
  • Micro 6000 spirometer
  • BodyBox plethysmograph
  • HypAir pulmonary function testing system
  • SpiroAir volumetric pulmonary function testing system
  • FeNO+
  • Resmon PRO FULL V3 forced oscillation technique
Options

Beside spirometry and exercise testing, several options can be added in the Ergocard CPX Professional to make an exercise testing and a pulmonary function testing in one equipment.

Lung diffusion capacity:

The Ergocard CPX Professional offers 3 choices of lung diffusion capacity measurement (DLCO):

  • Real Time Single breath DLCO with Helium tracer gas, using rapid analyzer.
  • Real Time Single breath DLCO with Methane tracer gas, using rapid analyzer.
  • Intrabreath DLCO with Helium or Methane tracer gas.

For single breath and intrabreath technique, you can choose the method to inhale the mixture:

  • the fastest and most economical: through a demand valve.
  • the most physiological, especially for patient with less cooperation: through an inhalation bag.

Lung volumes measurement:

  • FRC-N2: lung volumes and lung clearance index (LCI) measurement by multibreath Nitrogen washout.
  • N2 slope: measurement of the closing volume by single breath Nitrogen washout. This test is included when you choose FRC-N2 option.

Special Resistance Testing:

  • NEP (negative expiratory pressure): alternative method to detect and quantify expiratory flow limitation, which does not require performance of forced expiratory efforts nor a body plethysmography test.
