2 Safety Information
6ergoselect 10
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 tempera-
tures.
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.
• 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 ergoline GmbH 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
The device characteristics determined by emissions allow the
device to be used in industrial environments and in hospitals
(CISPR 11, class A). When used in domestic surroundings
(whichnormally requires compliance with CISPR 11 class B),
thedevice may not oer adequate protection for radio services.
Ifrequired, the user may have to take remedial action by
relocating or re-orienting the device.
Warning
• Shock Hazard •
When the device is connected to other equipment or if a medi-
cal 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 fulll the local requirements.
• Patient Hazard •
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 assem-
bly of the device
• 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 instructions)
• must be informed about the potential hazards arising from
the use of this type of equipment
• make sure that no unauthorized changes are carried out.
Note
Only the removal of the power cord will result in an all-pole
disconnection of the device from the power line.
Caution
Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equip-
ment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards
(e.g., IEC 60950 for data processing equipment).
Furthermore all congurations shall comply with the require-
ments for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or
clause 16 of the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-1, respectively).
Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electrical
equipment congures a medical system and is therefore respon-
sible for the system's compliance 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, please consult your local dealer or ergoline GmbH.

2 Safety Information

2.1 Safety Information for
Non‑Invasive Blood Pressure
Measurement
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
Do not take blood pressure measurements with a cuff on
patients 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 measure-
ments.
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 mea-
suring 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 cuff deflated. 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 do 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 cuff 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.
2.2 Contraindications
The following patient categories are excluded from using
the device:
• patients feeling discomfort or suering from dizziness,
nausea or pain.
• patients under the inuence of substances that may
impair vigilance (alcohol, drugs, medication).
2.3 Intended Use
The ergoselect 10 is a computer‑controlled medical ergo‑
meter, 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
(Technical Specications).
The ergoselect ergometers may only be used in exercise
testing and for rehabilitation of cardiac and cardiovas‑
cular 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 injuries or
property damage resulting from the unintended use of the
equipment.
Note – Applied Parts
• Applied parts are components that are directly in contact
with the human body (e.g., blood pressure measuring
devices).
Note – Stability
• Ensure the stability of the ergometer. If the maximum per-
mitted patient weight is exceeded by +10 %, the stability of
the ergometer can no longer be guaranteed. It may become
unstable as a result.
2.4 Biocompatibility
The parts of the product described in this manual, includ‑
ing all accessories that come in contact with the patient
during the intended use, fulll the biocompatibility require‑
ments of the applicable standards if applied as intended.
If you have questions in this matter, please contact ergoline
GmbH or an ergoline GmbH representative.

4.6 Connecting the ECG Cable
The ergoselect ergometers can be connected to electrocar‑
diographs and PC‑based ECG systems of most manufac‑
turers.
Dierent connection cables are available to support dier‑
ent communication modes (digital, analog, remote start, etc.).
All ergoselect ergometers are equipped with a digital
interface.
(Special adapters are needed for analog control or the
remote start capability. Please contact ergoline GmbH for
these adapters.)
The connection cable is plugged into the USB port
1
or
the 9‑pole socket of the connection panel (Port 1)
2
and
secured at the metal frame with an additional strain relief.

Note
• Disconnection from Power Supply •
Pressing the power switch or removing the power cord discon-
nects the device from the power supply.
Removing the power cord results in a complete disconnection
of the device from the power supply (all poles).
Ensure that the power plug is readily accessible at all times.
Note
• Connection Cables •
Use only connection cables approved by ergoline GmbH.
A special PC driver software, which can be obtained from ergo-
line GmbH, is required for operation via the USB port.

Concerning its functionality, the control terminal on the
underside of the Couch Ergometer is equivalent to control
terminal M (see section8.1 Control Terminal M on page20).
For putting the unit into service, remove the control termi‑
nal from below the couch surface. Use a 4‑mm Allen key to
loosen the two screws
1
.
The control terminal allows you to adjust a number of
parameters (such as the baud rate, EKG type) before use,
orto initiate a manual blood pressure measurement.
These adjustments should be referred to a qualied Service
Engineer.

Caution
• Patient Hazard •
The arm rest (for blood pressure measurements) is not designed
to support the full body weight and it must not be used as
a support when getting on and o the couch.
Note
• Motor •
The motor is not suitable for continuous operation. The duty
cycle of 10 % (1min ON / 9min OFF) must be observed. This
means that 1 minute of continuous operation of the control
terminal must be followed by a pause of 9 minutes.

6 Preparing the Patient
6.1 Preparing the Couch with the Patient
Before the patient can lie down on the couch, the ergometer
must be prepared as follows:
• Lower the saddle to the bottom position.
• Remove the saddle.
• Adjust the couch to the horizontal position so the
patient can get on the couch without any problems.
• Retract the ergometry unit (pedal unit).
• Ask the patient to lie down on the couch.
• Reinstall the saddle.
• Fold out the pedal unit.
• Close the straps at both pedals and secure the feet in
the pedal shoes by means of the hook and loop fasteners
of the straps.
There should be a 10° angle between the axis formed by
the upper body and the thigh when the pedal is in the
lower position:
• Adjust the saddle until this angle is achieved.
• Adjust the headrest until in contact with the shoulder,
when the head is placed on the head rest.
• Choose a position for the speed readout where the
patient can easily read the displayed values.
Now you can adjust the incline of the couch.
Note
• Patient Safety •
Always secure attachment parts by turning the set screw
clockwise.
When mounting attachment parts with perforated rails, make
sure that the bolts of the knobs engage properly in the rails
before tightening the knobs by turning them clockwise.
Note
• Motor •
The motor is not suitable for continuous operation. The duty
cycle of 10 % (1min ON / 9min OFF) must be observed. This
means that 1 minute of continuous operation of the control
terminal must be followed by a pause of 9 minutes.
