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 anest-
hetics, 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 electric power plants, because they may impair equipment
functions.
The ergoselect ergometer may only be used in combination with
accessories 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, before use.
• 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.
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 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
assembly of the ergometer
• must be familiar with and observe the safety rules and regu-
lations for operation of this type of equipment
• must be informed about any other pertinent rules and regu-
lations (e.g. safety features)
• must be informed about the potential hazards arising from
the use of this type of equipment.
• make sure that no unauthorised changes are carried out.
• Patient Hazard •

safety InformatIon
Hint
Removing the power cord results in complete disconnection
from mains (all poles).
Danger
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 requirements for medical
electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16 of the 3Ed. of
IEC 60601-1, respectively).
Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electri-
cal equipment cong 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.

safety InformatIon for
non‑InvasIve Blood Pressure
measurement
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
Do not take blood pressure measurements with a cu on
patients suering from sickle cell anemia or where 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.
In certain cases, a valid measurement will not be possible.
Electromagnetic elds are also capable of impairing the measu-
ring accuracy.
Note
• If the cuff 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.
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).

graph, 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gu‑
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.
SETTINGS
Used to congure 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.
The ranges for the respective speed ratings depend on the
selected load (see "Technical Specications").
speed readout
1 speed low (patient should pedal faster)
2 correct speed
3 speed high (= patient should pedal slower)
Note
• If, during an exercise test, the speed drops below 30 RPM,
the load readout starts blinking on the display.
• To reactivate the saddle height adjustment function,
press and the arrow keys will again be displayed.
• Additional blood pressure measurements an be initiated
with .

The display changes ‑ the ergometer is waiting for com‑
mands from the external ECG unit.
With the arrrow keys, the saddle height can be electrically
adjusted on the ergoselect 200 (on the ergoselect 400,
these keys adjust the height of the drive unit).
As soon as the ergometer receives commands from the
controlling ECG unit or PC, the exercise test will start and
the corresponding values will be displayed.
The exercise test can only be terminated with the corre‑
sponding command from the controlling ECG unit.
Note
• All functions are locked while the ergometer is operating
in PC mode, except for the saddle height adjustment and
the blood pressure key.
• To reactivate the saddle height adjustment function,

Use the softkeys on the right and left (↑ ↓) to position the
bar cursor on ERGOMETRY and conrm the selection with
SELECT.
The stored test protocols available for selection will be
displayed. There are ve xed protocols (protocols 1 to5,
see Appendix), whereas protocols 6 to 15 are user‑program‑
mable.
The protocol menu provides an overview of the test
phases:
e.g.: 50 W / 2 min / 25 W
means: initial (basic) load 50 watts
stage time 2 minutes
load increment 25 watts
Use the softkeys on the right and left (↑ ↓) to position
the bar cursor on one of the protocols and conrm the
selection with SELECT.
The exercise test is started with the "Start" key, a blood
pressure measurement at rest may precede the test (see
"Settings").
When the basic load appears on the display (after approx.
15 seconds or upon termination of the blood pressure
measurement) and the patient's RPM indicator blinks, the
patient should start pedalling.
The internal protocol will now control the entire exercise
test ‑ the display always indicates the current values.
With the +5 W and ‑5 W keys, the current load can be
changed at any time (in increments of +/‑1 W up to
+/‑25 W, as congured).

The exercise phase can be terminated manually at any time
with the RECOVERY key.
The load will immediately be reduced to 25 watts, but a
higher or lower value can be selected manually.
It is recommended that the patient continues to pedal in
the recovery phase.
The END key in the middle will terminate the test.
