ReeVue metabolic rate measurement device
KORR metabolic testing equipmentThe REEVUE® measures the oxygen that the body consumes.

Using this measurement it calculates a patient's Resting Energy Expenditure (REE), commonly referred to as a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Physicians can screen for abnormally low metabolic rates and pinpoint the precise caloric intake required for weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain. Applications include nutritional assessments required to treat obesity as well as obesity related diseases such as metabolic syndrome, sleep disorders, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. Under strict laboratory protocol, the ReeVue can be used to measure basal metabolic rate (BMR).
