Danger
• Explosion Hazard •
The device is not designed for use in areas where an explosion
hazard may occur.
Explosion hazards may result from the use of ammable anes-
thetics, skin cleansing agents or disinfectants.
Warning
• Patient Hazard, Equipment Damage •
Do not expose the ec5000 to direct sunlight to prevent system
components from reaching inadmissible high temperatures.
Do NOT use the ec5000 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
power systems, because they may impair equipment functions.
The ec5000 may only be used in combination with accessories
approved by custo med.
• Risk to Persons •
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.
• Equipment Malfunction •
Only the special shielded cables supplied by custo med may be
used to connect the device to other pieces of equipment.
• 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 fre-
quently even though the speed is above 30 RPM, this may be due
to electromagnetic interference.
Warning
• Shock Hazard •
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 custo med dealer or the custo med Service
Department.
For use, the ergometer must always be connected to electric
installations that fulll the local requirements.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
Do not take blood pressure measurements with a cu on pa-
tients suering from sickle cell anemia or if skin lesions are likely
to occur.
The cu 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
• Compromised Measuring Accuracy •
Arrhythmias occurring frequently during a measurement may
compromise the accuracy of the measurement.
Valid measurements may not be possible under certain circum-
stances.
Electromagnetic elds are also capable of impairing the measur-
ing accuracy.
Note
• If the cu pressure exceeds the maximum value of
300 mmHg during ination, the ination procedure will
be aborted and the cu deated. As a redundant safety
precaution, the cu is immediately deated when the cu
pressure exceeds 320 mmHg.
You can check the proper functioning of this safety precau-
tion by abruptly bending your arm while the cu is being
inated, causing a brief overpressure in the cu. The cu
must deate immediately.
• Measurements that did not yield a valid measurement will
not be repeated during the exercise test.
• If the ination phase takes longer than 40 seconds or if an
adequate pressure does not build up in the cu within a
reasonable period of time, the measurement will be aborted
and the cu deated.
• If a valid measurement cannot be completed within
120 seconds, the measurement will be aborted and the cu
deated.
• If the cu pressure remains constant for some time, the
measurement will also be aborted and the cu deated.
INTENDED USE
The ec5000 is a computer-controlled medical ergometer,
which operates at pedal speeds between 30 and 130 RPM
and loads between 6 and 999 W.
The speed-independent range is shown in the Appendix
(Specications).
The ec5000 ergometer may only be used in exercise testing
as well as for rehabilitation of cardiac and cardiovascular
patients according to the instructions given in this manual.
If the ergometer is used for other purposes, the manufac-
turer cannot be held liable for personal injuries or property
damage resulting from the unintended use of the equip-
ment.

TRANSPORT
For short distances, the ergometer can be lifted at the
saddle and rolled away on its castors.
To cover greater distances, however, we recommend the
following method:
• Disconnect the power cord and the connection cables.
• Rotate the handlebar towards the front and tighten
the clamping lever.
• Stand in front of the ergometer, grasp the handlebar
and tilt the ergometer towards you until it is standing
on the castors only and is balanced.
• It is now possible to transport the ergometer.
• When you have reached the new location, lower the
ergometer very carefully to avoid damage.
SETUP
Place the ergometer on a horizontal level oor.
The ergometer must be set up in a secure and stable
position; the two leveling feet at the back make for easy
adjustment to uneven oors. An optional stabilizer plate is
available to enhance the stability.
Extend the foot concerned until the ergometer no longer
wobbles.
In case of delicate ooring, it is recommended to place
a mat under the ergometer to protect the ooring from
damage by the feet.

CONNECTING THE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
• Connect the microphone cable for blood pressure
measurement to the intended port (1) so that it clicks
into place.
• Slip the cu tubing onto the tting (2) and engage.
To disconnect, push back the connector‘s knurled
sleeve.
Artifacts that may be caused by patient movements during
the exercise test, must be avoided, while the blood pressu-
re is being taken.
Therefore, do not forget to attach the cu tubing to the
handlebar with the supplied Velcro tape:
• Open the large Velcro tape and wrap it around the
handlebar.
• Secure the cu tubing with the small Velcro tape, but
do not exert pressure on the tubing.
CONNECTING THE SPO2 SENSOR
Connect the sensor cable to the corresponding socket (3)
on the underside of the control terminal.
Insert the index nger into the SoftTip sensor. The cable
should run over the back of the hand.

PREPARING THE PATIENT FOR BLOOD
PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS
CUFF SIZE
Always choose the cu size suitable for the patient's arm.
The maximum arm circumference is indicated on the cu.
MICROPHONE POSITION
Before applying the cu, check the position of the micro-
phone inside the red pocket (on the inside of the cu):
When the microphone is inside the pocket, its metal side
must face the arm.
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 identies the position of the microphone.
The accurate placement of the microphone is the primary
condition for reliable pressure measurement during exer-
cise tests. The cu must be applied directly on the skin, it
may not be applied on top of clothing, paper, etc.
Apply the cu approx. 2 cm above the bend of the elbow.
The cu should be tight, but it should not constrict blood
vessels. Make sure that the cu cannot shift when the
patient moves during the exercise test.

CORRECT CUFF POSITION (TAB)
Caution
• Patient Hazard •
Apply the cu directly on the skin. Make sure that rolled up sleeves
do not impede blood circulation in the upper arm.
Loose cus will cause erroneous measurements; overtight cus
may constrict blood vessels or cause skin lesions and hematomas.
• Incorrect Measurements •
A loose cu would degrade the accuracy of the measurement.
Therefore, the computer aborts the measurement, if a minimum
pressure is not attained within a few seconds.
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
If, by accident, an excessive pressure builds up inside the cu,
either remove the cu immediately from the arm or disconnect
the cu tubing from the control terminal.
The same measures are recommended, if the cu does not
deate correctly.
When you close the Velcro strap, check that the metal
clasp (a) is inside the marked index range (b), and not
outside.
The cu tab must be located below the metal clasp (see
illustration at right).
CHECKING THE CUFF TUBING
Check that the cu tubing does not knock against the
patient's knee, when the patient is pedalling and the hand
is on the handlebar.
Secure the cu 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.

Ergometer custo ec5000 | EXT 0001 – DK 1585 | Version 001 – 2015-11-13
SPEED READOUT
1 speed low (patient should pedal faster)
2 correct speed
3 speed high (= patient should pedal slower)
OPERATION
The ergometer is available with dierent control terminals
which dier to some extent in terms of their functionality.
The following sections describe the control and congura-
tion of the ergometer.
SPEED READOUT
A speed readout as well as three LEDs on the control ter-
minal inform the patient of the speed: too slow, too fast or
correct (this readout is located at the top of the Plus and
Touch versions of the control terminal and on the side of
the Smart version).
The ranges for the respective speed ratings depend on the
selected load (see “Specications”).
Note
• If, during an exercise test, the speed drops below 30RPM,
the load readout starts blinking on the display and the load
is reduced to zero.

Note
• Press the [Saddle] or the key to enable the adjust-
ment of the saddle: the adjustment keys will be displayed
(or via the and buttons on the control
terminal).
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Set the handlebar to a position where it is comfortable to
reach while sitting upright.
Fold up the clamping lever to unlock the handlebar.
When the handlebar is in the correct position, fold down
the clamping lever to lock the handlebar and check that
the lever is tightened.
With the ergometer standing rmly, check that the handle-
bar is tight. Adjust the clamping force of the clamping
lever if necessary.
Adjust the clamping force by opening the clamping lever
and turning the setting screw clockwise about a quarter
revolution with a at-blade screwdriver. Then check the
clamping force. Repeat these steps if necessary. When the
clamping force is appropriate, lock the clamping lever by
folding it down.
The handlebar is not designed to support the full body
weight.
Optionally, the height of the handlebar can be adjusted by
means of a motor, that is controlled via the toggle switch
on the handlebar.
SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
On the dierent ergometer models, the saddle height is
adjusted in dierent ways:
- with a clamping lever (mechanical)
- with a gas pressure spring
- with a motor.
When adjusting the height at the display, press the
[Saddle] key rst. Then press the appropriate arrow key
on the right to raise or lower the saddle.
