The CORTEX C21 is a portable spiroergometry device for diagnostic respiratory gas analysis that can be used for both mobile and stationary applications – from laboratory diagnostics to the field test. It consists of a docking station that enables charging and mains power supply and a mobile measuring unit with integrated GPS system, sensors, SD card, batteries and touch display. The design of the docking station expands the mobile part into an integrative but independent product form. A carrying system, optimised for all body sizes, serves as a practical accessory.
Statement by the Jury
The mobile unit of the CORTEX C21 fits into the docking station like a puzzle piece, giving the flexible system an organic appearance.
