The Q-NRG+ Metabolic Monitor is a standalone indirect calorimeter for measuring the resting energy expenditure (REE) in both ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients.
These training modules are intended to demonstrate the setup, operation, and considerations when using Q-NRG+ and are provided for educational purposes only. These modules include:
This material is not intended to be exhaustive or conclusive about the use of Q-NRG+ nor should it replace good clinical or technical judgements. Dietitians, respiratory therapists, and others who may use or otherwise interact with Q-NRG+ are encouraged to consult other sources, including the instructions for use and relevant Operator Manuals. These videos do not take the place of medical or technical training, education, or experience. Baxter does not recommend the use of Q-NRG+ in a manner other than the uses described in the full prescribing or technical user information, respectively. For more complete information about the Q-NRG+ Metabolic Monitor including warnings and precautions, please refer to the instructions for use and relevant Operator Manuals.

Indications For Use: The Q-NRG+ portable Metabolic Monitors are indicated for the measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) for spontaneously breathing and ventilated patients, within the following populations:
Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitors are intended to be used in professional healthcare facilities only (limited to ICUs for ventilated patients).
Warnings and Precautions: This device is not suitable for operating in presence of flammable anesthetic gases or gases other than O2, CO2, N2 and water vapor. The device is to be used by physicians or by trained personnel under the responsibility of a physician. The device is not intended as a continuous monitoring device for surveillance of vital physiological processes. The device measures clinical parameters used to aid diagnosis and it is intended only as an adjunct device in patient assessment. The device must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms. No modification of this device is allowed. Residue and other contaminants in the breathing circuit pose a safety risk to the patient during testing procedures. Aspiration of contaminants can be potentially life-threatening.
Rx Only: For safe and proper use of the device, refer to the User Manual.
