Introduction
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — Improper use of this device
presents a shock hazard. Strictly observe the following
warnings. Failure to do so may endanger the lives of the
patient, the user, and bystanders.
To reduce the risk of electric shock do NOT remove cover
(or back). Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
When disconnecting the device from the power line,
remove the plug from the wall outlet first, before
disconnecting the cable from the device. Otherwise there
is a risk of coming in contact with line voltage by
inadvertently introducing metal parts in the sockets of the
power cord.
Devices may be connected to other devices or to parts of
systems only after making certain that there is no danger
to the patient, the operators, or the environment as a
result. Standards IEC 60601-1-1/EN60601-1-1 must be
complied with in all cases.
WARNING
SITE REQUIREMENTS — Do not route cables in a way
that they may present a stumbling hazard.
Do not route cables underneath the equipment.
For safety reasons, all connectors for patient cables and
leadwires are designed to prevent inadvertent
disconnection, should someone pull on them.
For devices installed above the patient, adequate
precautions must be taken to prevent them from dropping
on the patient.
WARNING
TREADMILL CHANGES — Rapid changes in treadmill
speed and/or grade during a stress test may result in
injury.
DO NOT rapidly change treadmill speed and/or grade
during a stress test.
WARNING
TREADMILL CHANGES — DO NOT place feet under
the treadmill during operation or while decreasing the
treadmill grade to avoid injury.

Overview

T-2100 Treadmill Overview
Intended Use
The T-2100 Treadmill is intended for use with any of the several GE
Medical Systems Information Technologies exercise testing systems or
the MTC-1 (manual treadmill controller), for administering a controlled
exercise load during a diagnostic stress test. Standard features include
the emergency stop switch, a full handrail set, and a long, 60-inch
walking surface.
The emergency stop switch is intended for emergency situations where
immediately stopping the treadmill is required to deliver appropriate
emergency care to the patient or health care provider, as implied by the
American Heart Association “Guidelines for Clinical Exercise Testing
Laboratories” (1995). It is not intended for routinely stopping the
treadmill.
Preparation for Use
Safe Handling Guidelines
The T-2100 Treadmill ships preset with an approximate 2% grade. This
slight elevation provides for free wheel movement and prevents the
shroud from scraping the floor.
Before moving the treadmill after it has been in operation, use the
controlling equipment to set the grade to approximately 7%. Then
remove power and disconnect all cables to the treadmill before moving
the unit.
Follow the steps below to move the treadmill. We recommend that two
people work together since the treadmill may be too heavy for some
individuals to lift and lower safely.
NOTE
We recommend the treadmill not be placed on carpet or carpet tile
floors as a final location, as continual movement of the wheels may
eventually damage the carpet and possibly the treadmill.

T-2100 Treadmill Overview
2021403-026B T-2100 Treadmill 2-3
WARNING
INJURY OR DAMAGE — The treadmill is too heavy to
lift, lower or move safely by one person. Serious bodily
injury or damage to the treadmill may result.
A minimum of two people are required when lifting,
lowering or moving the treadmill.
1. Lift the end of the bed assembly to about knee height, keeping knees
bent and backs straight as you lift.
2. Rotate the treadmill in the direction you want to go (the treadmill
will pivot on its wheels) and push forward.
3. When you have maneuvered the treadmill into its new location,
gently lower the end of the bed assembly to the floor.

T-2100 Treadmill Overview
Systems Information Technologies and open a customer-billable service
call.
Before using the treadmill, have qualified personnel perform the tests
listed below.
AC line voltage test to verify the power outlet is properly wired.
Ground continuity test to verify all exposed metal is properly
grounded.
Leakage tests to verify the equipment passes all applicable leakage
tests.
Your in-house biomedical technician, electrician, or technically qualified
personnel can find instructions for performing these tests in the T-2100
Treadmill Service Manual shipped with your system.
Calibrating Treadmill
It is recommended that the treadmill be calibrated each time it is moved.
Refer to the steps below to activate the T-2100 Treadmill self-calibration
feature:
1. Connect the AC power cable on the treadmill to the wall outlet.
WARNING
POWER CABLES — Route the AC Power cable away
from moving parts.
An AC power cable caught in moving parts could cause
injury to the user and equipment.
2. Turn the power switch on the treadmill to On.
3. Remove controlling device cable or turn off the controlling device.
WARNING
During calibration, the treadmill will move and reach
maximum elevation. Injury may result.
Make sure you monitor the site at all times.
Make sure there are no customers or patients near the
treadmill during calibration.
