Safety Information Danger

Warning

• Explosion Hazard •

• Shock Hazard •

The device is not designed for use in areas where an explosion hazard may occur. Explosion hazards may result from the use of flammable anesthetics, skin cleansing agents or disinfectants.

When the ergometer is connected to other equipment or if a medical system is created, it must be ensured that the added leakage currents do not present a hazard. In case of questions, please contact your ERGOLINE dealer or the ergoline GmbH Service Department. For use, the ergometer must always be connected to electric installations that fulfill the local requirements.

Warning

• Patient Hazard, Equipment Damage • • Patient Hazard •

Do not expose the ergoselect to direct sunlight to prevent system components from reaching inadmissible high temperatures.

The German Medical Device Operator Ordinance (MPBetreibV, § 5) demands that users • must be trained in the use of the ergometer • must be familiar with the routines for handling and assembly of the ergometer • must be familiar with and observe the safety rules and regulations for operation of this type of equipment • must be informed about any other pertinent rules and regulations (e.g. safety features) • must be informed about the potential hazards arising from the use of this type of equipment.

Do NOT use the ergoselect outdoors (medical device). Furthermore the device has no additional protection against the ingress of humidity. Humidity inside the device may cause equipment malfunctions and increases the risk of an electric shock. Additionally, the device should not be operated in the vicinity of electric power plants, because they may impair equipment functions. The ergoselect ergometer may only be used in combination with accessories approved by ergoline GmbH.

Hint

• Risk to Persons •

Removing the power cord results in complete disconnection from mains (all poles)..

Before using the ergometer, the operator must ascertain that it is in correct working order and operating condition. The cables and connectors, in particular, must be checked for signs of damage. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately, before use.

Danger Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the re‑ quirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 606011-1 or clause 16 of the 3Ed. of IEC 60601-1, respectively).

• Equipment Malfunction • Only the special shielded cables supplied by ERGOLINE may be used to connect the device to other pieces of equipment.

Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electrical equipment config ures a medical system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. Attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take priority over the above mentioned requirements. If in doubt, consult your local representative or the technical service department.

• Equipment Malfunction • Cellular telephones may not be used in the immediate vicinity of the ergometer, because they might interfere with the proper functioning of the ergometer. Electromagnetic interference most probably exists when the watt reading is unstable. If the displayed value changes frequently even though the speed is above 30 RPM, this may be due to electro­magnetic interference.

Safety Information for Non‑Invasive Blood Pressure Measurement

Intended Use The ergoselect is a computer-controlled medical ­ergometer. At pedal speeds between 30 and 130 RPM and loads between 6 and 999 watt, the ergometer operates indepen‑ dent of the pedal speed. The speed-independent range is shown in the Appendix (Technical Specifications).

Warning

• Patient Hazard •

The ergoselect ergometer may only be used in exercise testing as well as for rehabilitation of cardiac and cardio‑ vascular patients according to the instructions given in this manual. If the ergometer is used for other purposes, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for personal inju‑ ries or property damage resulting from the unintended use of the equipment.

Do not take blood pressure measurements with a cuff on patients suffering from sickle cell anemia or where skin lesions are likely to occur. The cuff may cause hematomas in patients with severe blood coagulation disease. In these instances, the user must take a decision for or against automatic blood pressure measurements.

Caution

Biocompatibility

• Compromised Measuring Accuracy •

The parts of the product described in this manual, includ‑ ing all accessories that come in contact with the patient during the intended use, fulfill the biocompatibility requirements of the applicable standards if applied as intended.

Arrhythmias occurring frequently during a measurement may compromise the accuracy of the measurement. In certain cases, a valid measurement will not be possible. Electromagnetic fields are also capable of impairing the measuring accuracy.

If you have questions in this matter, please contact ERGOLINE or a representative.

Note •

•

• •

•

•

The blood pressure module and the approved accessories are defibrillation-proof and may remain attached to the patient during defibrillation. If the cuff pressure exceeds the maximum value of 300 mmHg during inflation, the inflation procedure will be aborted and the cuff deflated. As a redundant safety precaution, the cuff is immediately deflated when the cuff pressure exceeds 320 mmHg. You can check the proper functioning of this safety precaution by abruptly bending your arm while the cuff is being inflated, causing a brief overpressure in the cuff. The cuff must deflate immediately. Measurements that did not yield a valid measurement will not be repeated during the exercise test. If the inflation phase takes longer than 40 seconds or if an adequate pressure does not build up in the cuff within a reasonable period of time, the measurement will be aborted and the cuff deflated. If a valid measurement cannot be completed within 120 seconds, the measurement will be aborted and the cuff deflated. If the cuff pressure remains constant for some time, the measurement will also be aborted and the cuff deflated.

Preparing the Patient Adjusting the Saddle and the Handlebar On the ergoselect 100, you adjust the saddle height manu‑ ally with a clamping lever. On the ergoselect 200, the saddle height is electrically adjusted with the correspond‑ ing keys on the control terminal (the display below the saddle indicates the saddle height). With the pedal in the bottom position, the angle between the axis formed by the upper body and the thigh should be approximately 10°. Set the handlebar to a position where the patient sitting upright on the saddle can reach it easily. To do so, open clamping lever 1 and set the handlebar to a suitable angle. On the ergoselect 200, the height of the handlebar can ad‑ ditionally be adjusted with clamping lever 2 - the horizon‑ tal bar should be approximately at the samel level as the saddle.

Adjusting saddle and handlebar 1 2 3 4

Note •

Tighten the clamping levers only as far as necessary, NOT with maximum force.

•

Lubricate the clamping lever threads quarterly at minimum, using a suitable lubricant (e.g. OKS470).

Preparing the Patient for Blood Pressure Measurements Cuff Size Always choose the cuff size suitable for the patient's arm. The maximum arm circumference is indicated on the cuff. Correct cuff size

Wrong cuff size

Microphone Position Before applying the cuff, check the position of the micro‑ phone inside the red pocket (on the inside of the cuff): When the microphone is inside the pocket, its metal side must face the arm.

Correct microphone position

Applying the Cuff The center of the microphone must be located exactly on the brachial artery. Locate the artery by palpation, if required. The red tab identifies the position of the micro‑ phone. The accurate placement of the microphone is the primary condition for reliable pressure measurement during exer‑ cise tests. The cuff must be applied directly on the skin, it may not be applied on top of clothing, paper, etc. Apply the cuff ­approx. 2 cm above the bend of the elbow. The cuff should be tight, but it should not constrict blood vessels. The cuff may not move during the exercise test.

Microphone placement on the artery

- 18 -

When you close the Velcro strap, check that the metal clasp (a) is inside the marked index range (b), and not outside. The cuff tab must be located below the metal clasp (see illustration at right).

Correct cuff position (tab)

Checking the Cuff Tubing Check that the cuff tubing does not knock against the patient's knee, when the patient is pedalling and the hand is on the handlebar. Secure the cuff tubing with the Velcro tape attached to the handlebar. Instruct your patient to move as little as possible during a blood pressure measurement and, in particular, to avoid excessive contractions of the muscles in the upper arm.

Distance between knee and tubing

Caution

• Patient Hazard • Apply the cuff directly on the skin. Make sure that rolled up sleeves do not impede blood circulation in the upper arm. Loose cuffs will cause erroneous measurements; overtight cuffs may constrict blood vessels or cause skin lesions and hematomas.

Warning

• Patient Hazard •

• Incorrect Measurements •

If, by accident, an excessive pressure builds up inside the cuff , either remove the cuff immediately from the arm or disconnect the cuff tubing from the control terminal. The same measures are recommended, if the cuff does not deflate correctly.

A loose cuff would degrade the accuracy of the measurement. Therefore, the computer aborts the measurement, if a minimum pressure is not attained within a few seconds.

Operating Modes with Control Terminal K An ergoselect ergometer with a control terminal K sup‑ ports the following operating modes:

training sessions.

PC MODE An external device (e.g. stand-alone electrocardio‑ graph, PC-based ECG system) controls the ergometer - no intervention at all is required at the ergometer.

TEST Integrated test protocols (steep ramping test, PWC tests) allow an assessment of the physical fitness.

ERGOMETRY The ergometer runs an automatic exercise test - some of the corresponding test protocols are user-configu‑ rable and stored in the system (see chapter "Settings").

MANUAL The ergometer is controlled manually, i.e., the user performs all load changes via the keypad.

TRAINING Ten different training protocols with warm-up, exer‑ cise and recovery phases can be custom-configured (see chapter "Settings"). A POLAR receiver is integrated in the ergometer and provides the relevant data for heart-rate controlled

SETTINGS Used to configure the ergometer.

Speed readout At the top of the control terminal, there is a speed readout for the patient as well as three LEDs that inform the ­patient of the speed: too slow, too fast or correct.
