The CPX Ultima™ transcends conventional ECG stress testing by introducing all digital data acquisition to MedGraphics' patented breath by breath gas exchange system.

By adding gas exchange for the direct measurement of VO₂, the CPX Ultima provides objective, reproducible data on functional capacity, along with a method for determining the primary cause of exercise intolerance or dyspnea. Standard stress and resting pulmonary function tests cannot measure the complete cardiorespiratory system. The CPX Ultima makes these measurements and more, with unparalleled accuracy. With a completely digital data acquisition and precise breath by breath analysis, the CPX Ultima sets the benchmark for gas exchange systems in the world today.

Combined with the patented MedGraphics preVent™ Pneumotach, your testing will be free of cumbersome hoses and headgear. After testing, you can change the preVent™ Pneumotach in a matter of seconds, giving you an instant solution for infection control.
