Virtus Metabolic Monitor: Indirect Calorimetry in the ICU

The Virtus Metabolic Monitor, manufactured by Virtus Technology ApS in Denmark, is a portable indirect calorimetry device developed for mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. It continuously and non-invasively measures oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂), and from these calculates resting energy expenditure (REE) and the respiratory quotient (RQ).

It requires no manual calibration before use and runs on battery for up to 3 hours. It is CE marked and has US FDA 510(k) clearance (K222982). The ESPEN guideline on clinical nutrition in the intensive care unit recommends that energy expenditure in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients be determined by indirect calorimetry.

Prizma Med Sağlık Hizmetleri is the regional dealer for Virtus in the provinces of Mersin, Adana, Niğde, Osmaniye, Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep and Kilis.
