- Do you know if you have a slow, medium or fast metabolism?
- Would you like to know how many calories you burn in a day?
- How many calories you should consume daily to lose about two pounds per week?
The REEVUE measures the oxygen that the body consumes. Using this measurement it calculates the number of calories that an individual burns at rest in a day. This technique is called Indirect Calorimetry. This information assists in nutritional assessment and medical nutrition therapy.
Lightweight and portable, the REEVUE hooks up directly to a printer for instant printout of the results in about 10 minutes.
The REEVUE provides an accurate method for measuring VO2 (oxygen consumption) and RMR(resting metabolic rate)
Indications for Use
The REEVUE can be used for any patient where a measurement of metabolic rate or oxygen uptake (VO2) will be useful, including weight management and nutritional assessment services.
Features
Accurate – The REEVUE has been validated against the clinical standard metabolic cart and has demonstrated equivalent accuracy in resting volunteers for both oxygen consumption and resting energy expenditure.
Ease of Use – When the REEVUE is turned on, it automatically calibrates and is ready to use. After the test is completed, results are presented on the display screen and are printed directly to a printer. No computer or software is needed to operate the REEVUE.
Affordable– the REEVUE is priced at only a fraction of the cost of a standard metabolic cart.
Reimbursable- Reevue is billed to the insurance carriers with CPT code 94690
Energy Balance
The body gains or loses fat based on energy balance. Energy balance refers to the relationship between energy intake (eating) and energy expenditure (metabolic rate). The figures below describe the three states of energy balance.
Normal Energy Balance: Consumption and expenditure in balance, no weight gain or loss
Negative Energy Balance: Expenditure is greater than consumption (caloric deficit), causes weight loss.
Positive Energy Balance: Consumption exceeds expenditure (caloric surplus), leading to weight gain.
The Reevue product , manufactured by Korr Medical and available through Heart Smart, Inc., measures the resting metabolic rate.
Metabolic Rate Measurements
Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the “caloric burn rate”. Knowing metabolic rate is vital for weight loss as well as for determining the proper feeding amounts needed to treat various disease states.
Energy expenditure can be divided into three groups of calories.
Resting Calories – Calories that are burned while the body is at rest. These calories are needed just to maintain life. The majority of all calories burned (about 70-80%) are burned at the resting level.
Activity Calories – Calories that are burned because of normal daily activities are “Activity Calories”. Normal daily activities such as walking, eating (digesting food), typing, etc. are included in activity calories.
Exercise Calories – These calories are burned because of exercise.
The sum of all of these groups of calories is the total energy expenditure.
