During the Test
Exercise Phase
Overview
The selected protocol will control the treadmill or bicycle ergometer.
When you enter the exercise phase:
the belt speed and grade or the bicycle load will change according to
the selected protocol
the exercise clock will start (phase and stage clocks restart at zero),
and
the system will start saving test data. This data can be viewed on the
tabs at the top of the screen (see “ST/Arrhy Window” on page 6-18 to
“Interpretation Window” on page 6-26).
Operating Steps
Treadmill
1. Press the exercise button to enter the exercise phase.
2. Press the start treadmill button to start the treadmill.
Warning
Fall Hazard — Your patient should wait until the
treadmill belt is moving before stepping onto the belt.
Otherwise severe injury could result from a fall. For the
same reason, avoid rapid changes in belt speed.
If a higher load level is selected manually before the
treadmill is started with the start tmill button, the
treadmill will accelerate to the speed corresponding to
the manually selected load level.
For a FAST stop of the treadmill in an emergency, press
the STOP tmill button and hold it down until the
treadmill comes to a stop, or hit the emergency stop
button on the treadmill. Please note that when restarted
after FAST stop, the treadmill returns to the previous
speed and grade.
Note
When the TWA algorithm is enabled, ensure that the patient does
not run until the heart rate exceeds the TWA heart rate limit
(default value: 125 BPM, see “TWA Tab” on page 12-30).
Bicycle
The exercise test starts automatically when the patient starts pedalling.
