K5
COSMED is proud to introduce the K5, the most innovative and versatile metabolic system ever, the 4th generation of the most popular wearable metabolic system, a breakthrough in the field of exercise physiology and human performance assessment
Accuracy
and reliability: The K5 uses the latest technology, including
COSMED's 4th generation optoelectronic reader and proven and reliable highly
linear and rapid response O2 (GFC) and CO2 (NDIR) sensors.
Intelligent Metabolic Sampling Technology: Measures gas exchange
either with micro-dynamic mixing chamber or breath by breath techniques. Users
can select between the two modes depending on the protocol type, research field, or other factors.
Wearable Mode - Wireless connectivity: Offers efficient wireless data
transmission (both standard Bluetooth and long-range Bluetooth) and integration
with other devices (i.e., wireless wrist-worn pulse oximeter). The single-body
design (battery inside) reduces weight, simplifies subject setup, and improves
ergonomics. The new harness (2 sizes) is comfortable and offers freedom of
movement during testing.
Conventional Mode- Metabolic Cart Test Mode: A standard USB port and medical
grade AC/DC power plug (PC-controlled via software). Alternatively, the K5 can
be mounted on supports through the integrated tripod mount (1/4”-20 UNC).
All plugs, connectors, and caps are protected by seals and are water,
moisture, and dust resistant. Resistive touch-screen technology allows use
either with gloves or wet fingers (IP54 standard).
User-accessible slots: Users can easily access and replace the O2
sensor, Li-ion battery, and SD-card (for extra storage capacity).
Intuitive device User Interface: The K5 display assures simplified
navigation and quick access to all commands and features. The status bar
provides information regarding time, date, battery status, Bluetooth, GPS, and
notification icons (QC messages, warnings, etc). Also included is the ability
to switch between data, graphs, GPS, etc, during real-time measurements.
Metabolic + Kinematic: Synchronize data with integrated 10 Hz GPS and
altimeter.
ANT+ certified: The K5 can be integrated with the world’s largest sports sensors network (up to 5 profiles available for 250+ compatible products). Up to 8 wireless devices can be contemporarily connected with the K5.
