NUTRILAB™ PRO

NUTRILAB™ PRO is the new version of AKERN^®’s body composition analyser, designed for hospitals, healthcare and research institutions.

Designed to offer comprehensive diagnostic support for malnutrition, sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, NUTRILAB™ PRO is aligned with the most up-to-date guidelines of the leading scientific societies (ESPEN, EASO, EWGSOP).

An ideal support for early diagnosis and monitoring, NUTRILAB™ PRO is the only device that, in addition to body composition data, allows on-screen display of parameters and risk indices for malnutrition (SPhA, ASMMI, etc.), sarcopenia (FFMI, SMMI, HGS, etc.), sarcopenic obesity (SMM/W, FM/W, HGS, etc.).

The innovative system for advanced body composition analysis

• 

  Innovative

  NUTRILAB™ PRO is equipped with a 7-inch capacitive display, which guarantees improved graphics and optimised screen display.

  Thanks to the highly responsive touch screen, it is easy, intuitive and quick to switch between screens for a simple and fast workflow. The easy-to-read graphics allow direct identification of the patient’s condition.
• 

  Portable

  NUTRILAB™ PRO has a compact and lightweight design, making it the ideal instrument for nutritional and hydration status analyses in both hospital and home care environments.
• 

  Reliable

  Thanks to the SIGNAL QUALITY INDEX (SQI) function, the user assesses the reliability of the data in real time according to the quality of the electrical signal with each measurement. The SQI is displayed on screen in an intuitive 6-star system, providing immediate feedback on the current measurement.
• 

  Performance

  NUTRILAB™ PRO has a usage time of up to 4.5 hours of continuous use, ensuring reliability and continuity of measurements.
• 

  Safe

  NUTRILAB™ PRO is a Class IIa CE Medical Device, tested for safe measurements on children, pregnant women and patients carrying implantable medical devices or prostheses.
• 

  User friendly

  A cutting-edge technology that enhances user experience by streamlining access to clinical information to meet the needs of healthcare professionals. Essential data for assessing body composition changes in a clinical setting have been reorganized and structured to provide an immediate overview of the patient’s clinical status.

Fields of application

Nutrilab™ PRO is designed to meet the needs of different medical specialities, providing reliable and immediate data to support personalised diagnosis and treatment. For example:

• 

  ICU - Intensive care unit

  Assessing nutritional status, hydration and monitoring muscle mass are important aspects in optimising the treatment of critically ill patients.
• 

  Oncology

  Monitoring changes in body composition, preventing malnutrition and sarcopenia in cancer patients are crucial for improving treatment tolerance and prognosis on the course.
• 

  Geriatric

  Assessing the risk or condition of sarcopenia and malnutrition in the elderly favours targeted therapeutic approaches.
• 

  Clinical Nutrition

  Targeted nutritional interventions in patients with malnutrition or sarcopenic obesity contribute to a better post-operative course, reducing the risk of complications.
