Ergocard CPX exercise testing system

Clinical and Professional models
Two value CPET systems

Contact a Sales Rep

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 COand 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

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.

HL7 Interface Software

Our HL7 interface software allows any number of networked systems to exchange data with the electronic medical records (EMR) system.

  • Electronic medical record interface using latest HL7 standards with either unidirectional or bidirectional capability

Flexible access allows physicians to view and interpret patient results from any location on the facility’s network.

preVent® Flow Sensor for Simplicity and Accuracy

Our proprietary preVent® flow sensor saves time between patients and provides maximum infection control compared to other pneumotach devices.

  • Eliminates warm-up or flow recalibration between patients.
  • Simple snap in setup contains no moving parts or electronics for maximum infection control.
  • Options to use with a filter (for PFT), sterilize, or discard, making it extremely versatile and cost effective.
  • Meets ATS/ERS standards and specifications.
