KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Device Description The ReeVue™ model 8100 is an indirect calorimeter. It determines resting energy expenditure (REE) by measuring oxygen uptake. Resting energy expenditure is the amount of calories that a patient will expend (burn) in 24 hours of resting.
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Chapter 1: Metabolic Measurements Metabolic Testing Metabolism is the process of converting food into heat or energy. The rate and efficiency with which the body converts food to energy is referred to as the metabolic rate.
Page 10
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Calorie Calculation The number of calories expended for a given amount of oxygen consumed is 4.813 calories (0.0048 Kcal) for every milliliter of oxygen consumed. The exact relationship between calories consumed and oxygen consumption is also affected by the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the body as well as oxygen consumed.
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Chapter 2: Product Introduction 2.1 Front Panel Description The front panel is comprised of displays, keypad and connections. Figure 2.1 illustrates the ReeVue™ keypad. The various keys and their functions are described on the following pages.

KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc It is recommended that a KORR™ bacterial filter be placed between the Air-Intake and the hose to prevent contamination of system. ReeVue™ 2.3 Back Panel Connections Power ← This connection labeled 12VDC is for the power adapter input.
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Chapter 3: Quick Instructions for Use 1. Turn on the unit. CAUTION: Ensure the Single Patient Use “MetaBreather™” hose is not attached during calibration. Remember to dispose of the hose/mouthpiece after use. 2. Wait for device to be ready.
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Chapter 4: Equipment Setup 4.1 Environment In order for the ReeVue™ to operate properly, it should be placed in a properly ventilated area. The device performs within specifications when used at temperatures between 59°F (15°C) and 86°F (30°C).
KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc Chapter 5: Conducting a Metabolic Rate Test 5.1 Warm Up Upon turning on the ReeVue™, it will take a moment to warm up. The warm up screen is shown following the splash screen. It will automatically end and begin calibration when the device has warmed up.

KORR™ Medical Technologies, Inc 5.4 Position the nose clip. When the patient is comfortable, place the nose clip on the patient’s nostrils. The nose clip is used to block airflow through the nostrils and ensures that the ReeVue™ analyzes ALL of the exhaled air. A nose clip is not necessary if a full face mask is used for testing.
