2 Safety Information
2 Safety Information
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 ergoselect to direct sunlight
to prevent system components from reaching
inadmissible high temperatures.
Do NOT use the ergoselect outdoors (medical device). Further-
more 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 ergoselect may only be used in combination with accesso-
ries approved by ergoline GmbH.
Personal Injury
Before using the ergometer, the user 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 ergoline 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
frequently even though the speed is above 30 RPM, this may be
due to electromagnetic interference.
Note
Only the removal of the power cord will result in an
all-pole disconnection of the device from the power
line.

6.2 Operating Modes
The ergoselect 1 ergometer supports the following operating
modes:
PC Mode
An external device (e.g. an ECG recorder, a PC‑based ECG
system) controls the ergometer – no intervention at all is
required at the ergometer.
Ergometry
The ergometer runs an automatic exercise test – some of
the corresponding test protocols are user‑congurable and
stored in the system.
(see chapter10.2 Exercise Test Protocols on page29)
Manual
The ergometer is controlled manually, i.e., the user performs
all load changes via the keypad.
Settings
Used to congure the ergometer.
6.3 Speed Readout
A speed readout as well as ve LEDs at the top of the
control terminal inform the patient of the speed: too slow,
too fast or correct.
The ranges for the respective speed ratings depend on the
selected load (see “Note“ on page24).
