Ergo spirometer or Spiro ergometer exercise test: PRE-201
PRE-201/cc and PRE-201/pm

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides a global assessment of the integrative exercise responses involving the pulmonary and cardiovascular system

Ergospirometry is increasingly being used in a wide spectrum of clinical applications for the evaluation of undiagnosed exercise intolerance and exercise-related symptoms
