About

COSMED designs, manufactures, and sells diagnostic medical devices to assess lung function, metabolic rates, and body composition. Their equipment supports cardio pulmonary exercise testing, indirect calorimetry for resting energy expenditure, pulmonary function tests, spirometry, and gold standard body composition analysis via air displacement plethysmography. These tools serve clinical settings, sports science, professional sports, and wellness applications, enabling precise measurements of respiratory performance, energy use, and physical composition.

The company integrates these solutions through the OMNIA software platform, which provides a unified environment for data from metabolic, lung function, and body composition assessments. Devices like the Q-NRG Max measure VO2 max and resting metabolism, while spirometers and oximeters offer screening in portable formats for PC or mobile use. This measured approach allows users to track key physiological markers for optimized health strategies.

With a focus on modularity and networking, COSMED equipment adapts to various testing needs, from point-of-care resting metabolism to comprehensive exercise tests. Ergometers and stress testing ECG complement the core systems for integrated evaluations. Established in 1980, the company maintains a worldwide presence with products sold across multiple countries.
