Accurate lactate measurement to drive performance improvement
The Lactate Scout 4 is a simple and reliable lactate meter perfect for training outdoors, in the gym or for analysing performance in a laboratory. The Lactate Scout 4 makes is easy to handle and allows for rapid assessment of lactate levels.
The Lactate Scout 4 is ideal for both coaches and athletes to assess endurance, devise optimum training programmes, avoid overtraining and use metabolic information to help set target heart rate zones.
The handheld Lactate Scout 4 requires only 0.2 µl of capillary blood, provides results in 10 seconds and can store up to 500 results. Lactate Scout 4 connects with Bluetooth® enabled heart rate monitors and features a stopwatch function to help analyse performance. With an integrated step test function and Bluetooth® connectivity, the Lactate Scout 4 is one of the most advanced hand-held lactate analysers on the market.

Performance measurement
During high-intensity exercise, the body produces lactate faster than it can be metabolised and removed from the blood stream. This leads to accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream.
Up to a certain threshold, the body can clear lactate at a rate at which, although there is an elevated concentration of lactate in the blood, the concentration does not impede muscle function.
Higher intensity exercise will lead to this threshold being passed, such that lactate production exceeds lactate clearance. The biochemical processes associated with increased lactate places muscle cells under stress. It is therefore important to determine the lactate threshold at which training is most effective.
Exercising at higher-intensity levels will result in exceeding the anaerobic threshold and cause a rapid increase in blood lactate concentration. This threshold varies from person to person, and an individual’s threshold can be determined using a step test. In a step test, the intensity of training gradually increases at defined intervals, e.g. on a treadmill or exercise bike or in a field test. The blood lactate concentration is measured at the end of each interval and plotted against the load value on a chart. The resulting curve indicates the threshold value. The greater the intensity of the athlete’s exercise at their anaerobic threshold indicates a fitter athlete.
If a training programme is designed so that exercise occurs in the anaerobic threshold range, it can have a positive impact on the metabolism, increase muscle cell contractions, improve muscle cell repair, increase blood capillaries and improve cardiac function. The body then produces energy more efficiently, even when exercising at higher levels of intensity.
A lactate analyser is therefore useful in fitness training and cardiovascular training, to help increase endurance without overtraining.
Lactate is a source of energy and is metabolised by muscle cells. The more efficiently lactate is metabolised the lower the blood lactate concentration will be during exercise. Additionally, excess lactate will be cleared from the circulation more rapidly during the post-exercise period.
Lac [blood] = Lac [produced] ¬ Lac [eliminated]
Endurance athletes should aim to achieve an elevated lactate equilibrium – a balance between the production and breakdown of lactate.
For training to achieve positive results and improve performance, it is therefore recommended to exercise at just below the anaerobic threshold.

Sentec Digital Monitor (SDM) with activated PO2 channel for tcPCO2, tcPO2, SpO2, PR and HP monitoring
The Sentec Digital Monitoring System with PO2 (SDMS-PO2) provides continuous and non-invasive real-time monitoring of ventilation (tcPCO2), oxygenation (tcPO2) and Heating Power (HP) for neonatal patients. In pediatric / adult patients, the system can be used for tcPCO2, tcPO2, SpOI2, Pulse Rate, Pulsation Index (PI) and HP monitoring.
Transcutaneous monitoring (TCM) provides clinicians with greater insight to quickly identify trends, rapidly and accurately assess patient status, and make more well-informed, timely care decisions.
For accurate and safe bronchial challenge testing
Vyntus APS is an Aerosol Provocation System. Up-to-date and sophisticated electronics and mechanics allow for optimal use of its nebulization technology with precise dosing. For the observation measurements Vyntus APS combines with the Vyntus PNEUMO and/ or the Vyntus IOS in one system.
APS nebulizer system integrates into Vyaire MasterScreen™ and Vyntus™ instruments – Spirometry, IOS Impulse Oscillometry, Rocc and BODY Plethysmography. The nebulizer system is powered by SentrySuite™ software and is able to test a broad age range: from 4 years to adult. Choose between single and multiple concentration testing.
Vyntus™ BODY Plethysmograph
People come in all shapes and sizes, so we designed Vyntus BODY to accommodate the most patients without increasing the cabin footprint. Many enhancements were incorporated to make Vyntus BODY accessible and user friendly for both patients and technicians.
Vyntus BODY employs much of the same breakthrough technology found in the Vyntus ONE, but with a redesigned breathing circuit and our new Ultrasonic Sensor Technology.
In addition, Vyntus BODY is enhanced with additional innovation such as digital pressure compensation, which helps to reduce environmental influences and improves measurement accuracy.
Helping heal one step at a time
From rehabilitation to orthopedics to physical therapy, the PPS (Professional Power System) Med treadmill provides comfort and assistance to patients who require walking support. This treadmill can accommodate any user’s pace with an absolute zero start speed with increments of 0.1 mph.
