Intended Use
The REEVUE is intended for use in clinical and research applications to measure oxygen uptake.
Device Story
The REEVUE is a desktop indirect calorimeter used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to assess metabolic needs. The device measures oxygen consumption (VO2) by analyzing expiratory gas. Patients breathe through a mouthpiece with unidirectional valves; expiratory gas is directed into a mixing chamber where oxygen concentration is measured via a galvanic fuel cell. The device also measures gas flow, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity. Using an assumed respiratory quotient (RQ=0.83) and the Weir Equation, the device calculates Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Output is displayed to the clinician to guide nutritional counseling and caloric intake requirements. By providing an objective measure of energy expenditure, the device assists in managing nutritional status for patients with metabolic risks, such as those with obesity or sepsis.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation compared the REEVUE to the Douglas Bag method (gold standard) in 13 comparisons across 8 subjects. Measured VO2 ranged from 138 to 545 ml/min. Results showed a mean difference of -3.22% (-7.6 ml/min) with a standard deviation of 3.4% (6.7 ml/min). Linear regression analysis yielded R^2 = 0.99 and a slope of 1.0081, indicating high agreement between the device and the reference method.
Technological Characteristics
Desktop indirect calorimeter; fixed-orifice differential pressure pneumotach flow sensor; galvanic fuel cell oxygen sensor; mixing chamber design. Measures barometric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. Electrical safety per EN60601-1, UL2601-1, CSA C22.2 NO 601.1-M90. Class 1, Type BF applied part. Single-patient use accessories (non-sterile).
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinical and research applications to measure oxygen uptake in patients weighing >33 kg (73 lbs), including pediatric to adult populations. Typical applications include nutritional assessment for obesity, burns, inflammatory states (sepsis), and patients receiving parenteral or enteral nutrition. Contraindicated for patients on mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen.

#### 4. Description of the Device
The REEVUE is an indirect calorimeter. The REEVUE device measures oxygen consumption ($V_{O2}$) and estimates Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) based on the measured $V_{O2}$ using an assumed respiratory quotient (RQ=0.83). Resting metabolic rate can also be referred to as Resting Energy Expenditure (REE).
Measurement of energy requirements can be used for nutritional assessment. A typical application would be for counseling obese patients on their caloric intake requirements.
During a test the patient breathes through a mouthpiece with unidirectional breathing valves. These valves allow the patient to breath in ambient air and then direct the expiratory gas down a hose to the device. The flow rate of the expiratory gas is measured and the patient's tidal volume and respiratory rate is calculated. The expiratory gas passes through a mixing chamber so that the mixed expiratory oxygen concentration can be found. The oxygen concentration of the mixed expiratory gas is measured.
Oxygen consumption can be expressed as the volume of oxygen breathed in minus the volume of oxygen breathed out. This can be described as:
$$\left[\left.V_{O2} - \left.V_{I}\right|_{IO2} - \left.V_{E}\right|_{E\ O2}\right] \tag{1}$$
where $V_{O2}$ is the oxygen consumption, $V_I$ is the inspiratory volume, $F_{IO2}$ is the inspiratory oxygen fraction, $V_E$ is the expiratory volume, and $F_{EO2}$ is the expiratory oxygen fraction.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Since the REEVUE only measures the expiratory volume of gas breathed out, the inspired volume must be estimated. This is similar to other legally marketed medical devices. When measuring both CO2 and O2 this is often referred as the Haldane method.
To estimate the inspired volume, the components of the expiratory and inspiratory volumes need to be accounted for. In estimating the inspiratory volume the REEVUE requires an estimate of the Respiratory Quotient (Ro). The REEVUE uses an assumed $R_O$ of 0.83. The $R_O$ is defined as:
$$R_Q = \frac{V_{CO_2}}{V_{O_2}}\tag{2}$$
where $V_{CO2}$ is the carbon dioxide eliminated by the patient's breathing.
An estimate of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) is calculated using the Weir Equation with the assumed $R_O$ value of 0.83. Substituting for the $V_{CO2}$ using the $R_O$ and the $V_{O2}$ the Weir Equation can be expressed as:
$$\text{Calories} = \left\{ 3.941 \, V_{O2-STPD} + 1.106 R_Q \, V_{O2-STPD} \right\} \times \left\{ 1 - 0.082 \, P_F \right\} \tag{3}$$
Where
Calories .......... is the calories burned per liter of oxygen consumed. $P_F$ ......................is the fraction of total energy production due to protein oxidation.
Typical values for Pr range from 0.08 to 0.2, corresponding to 8 to 20% protein. We selected a default value of 0.125 for our calculations. In reporting (REE) in Kcal/day, this simplifies to:
$$RMR_{\text{Kcal/day}} = \quad 6.925 \times V_{O2-ml/\text{min}-STPD} \tag{4}$$

#### 5. Intended Use / Indications for Use
The device is intended for use in clinical and research applications to measure oxygen uptake.
#### 5.1 Typical Applications Where the Device may be Used
The device could be used in applications where oxygen consumption or measurements of indirect calorimetery would typically be used. This could include:
- Diseases where patients may be at risk for malnutrition .
- Burn Patients .
- Weight Management .
- Parenterally Fed Patients .
- Enterally Fed Patients ●
- Inflammatory States: Sepsis .
Since the device does not measure carbon dioxide, and hence respiratory quotient, it could not be used in applications that require a measure of the respiratory quotient. Since the device assumes the patient is breathing ambient air, it is not intended for patients where supplementary oxygen is being given.
#### 6. Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device
Both the device and the predicate device measure oxygen consumption and then estimate resting metabolic rate using the Weir Equation and an assumed respiratory quotient (Rg). Both devices measure gas flow, oxygen concentration, barometric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. Both devices use a single-use mask or mouthpiece.
The main difference between the current device (REEVUE) and the predicate device (BodyGem) is that the predicate device is a handheld device that measures oxygen concentration and gas flow near the patient's mouth. The current device (REEVUE) is a "bench top" unit that uses a traditional mixing chamber approach, which allows the expiratory gas to mix. Since the gas is mixed, the oxygen sensor does not need to have a high frequency response since it is continuously measuring the mixed expiratory oxygen concentration.
