Overview
Designed by Clinicians for Clinicians
Q-NRG+ is a standalone indirect calorimeter for measuring REE in both ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients. Q-NRG+ was designed with the International Multicentric Study for Indirect Calorimetry (ICALIC).6
The goal: develop a new IC device that addresses barriers according to the needs of the clinician.
The conclusion: ICALIC partnered with industry experts to design the next-generation IC technology that is accurate, reliable and easy to use.6
Indications for Use
The Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitor is indicated for the measurement of resting energy expenditure (REE) for spontaneously breathing and ventilated patients, within the following populations:
- Spontaneously breathing subjects >33 lbs. (15 kg) when using a canopy
- Spontaneously breathing subjects age >6 years and > 22 lbs.(10 kg) when using a face mask
- Ventilated subjects age >10 years and >22 lbs. (10 kg).
The Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitor is intended to be used in professional healthcare facilities only (limited to ICUs for ventilated patients). Please read the accompanying full Indication(s) and Safety Information for Q-NRG+.
Measure Accurately
Identify Personalized Nutritional Needs
- Energy needs in critically ill patients are dynamic.1
- Predictive equations are inaccurate up to 50% of the time.2
- ASPEN Guidelines recommend using IC to accurately measure REE.3
- Maximizing protein while meeting calorie targets, guided by IC, can be important to critically ill patients.4

Warnings
This device measures clinical parameters used to aid diagnosis and it is intended only as an adjunct device in patient assessment. In case of disturbing conditions, the shutdown is allowed because the safety of the device towards patients and operators is not affected, since the final evaluation is performed on the outcome data measured during a complete test. No modification of this device is allowed.
Precautions/Contraindications
Carefully re-check ventilator functionality after connection of the parts. Make sure that the patients cuff pressure is high enough to avoid air leakage. Manipulation of the ventilator circuit may cause leaks that may lower alveolar ventilation. For more information please refer to User’s Manual.
Disclaimers
Rx only. For safe and proper use of product mentioned herein, please refer to the Instructions for Use or Operator Manual.
