8.1.2 Creating Your Own Load Program
Programs 1-8 were intended to be programmed from the monitor program, as de-
scribed in this manual, for various pre-defined patient groups. This allows you to select
the appropriate program for a patient at the touch of a button. This gives you basic
settings with which the stress test of the patient can be performed. You may still change
any of the parameters prior to starting ergometry. Such a parameter change, that is not
accomplished within the monitor program, is only temporary and effective for this spe-
cific one ergometry. Such changes are voided at the end of the ergometry.
This is why, when you use the monitor program to program the load programs, you need
to proceed such that only the absolute limits for an entire patient group be pre-set as
alarm parameters. The patient specific alarm parameter should then be entered when
the program is called up. In general, eight programs with differing load characteristics
are adequate to serve various patient group types if patients are grouped by their load
requirement patterns. The flowchart below should serve to clarify the process of an
ergometry.

dropping below the minimum RPM rating of 25 RPM or because the „END“
