VO2000 Portable Metabolic System

The MedGraphics VO2000 Portable Metabolic Testing System provides the most versatile, comfortable, easy-to-use, accurate and affordable metabolic testing available. Take your VO2 testing in the laboratory or in the field to a higher level.


The remarkable MedGraphics VO2000 system weighs in at only 740 grams.


In-field use of the VO2000 with
optional real-time telemetry.

Versatile
The MedGraphics VO2000 will meet the needs of the research center, sports medicine clinic, sports team, nutritionist, rehab facility, athletic club and classroom. The VO2000 stores data in on-board memory for later download, works remotely with continuous data feed from the telemetry option, or operates connected to a PC.

Comfortable
The compact, lightweight design may be worn with a contoured athletic belt or three point harness. The patented preVent mask is form fitting, comfortable and significantly lighter than standard masks.

Easy-To-Use
The small size makes this highly portable and with the quick connect, setup is a snap. The VO2000 uses a patented, hands-free Auto-calibration. No calibration syringes or gases are required.

Accurate
Patented sampling techniques and enhanced gas analysis provide highly accurate and reliable metabolic measurements under a variety of testing conditions.

Affordable
The VO2000 is one of the most affordable metabolic systems available. It comes complete with all the accessories you need to start testing.

BreezeSuite Software

The BREEZESUITE software runs on Windows 2000/XP Professional PC's and requires no additional hardware components. Results can be printed on a standard PC compatible printer. Configurable screens and graphs offer powerful assessment tools. Important markers such as anaerobic threshold can be automatically detected, even from a submaximal test!
