1 - Intended Use1 - Intended Use
This device is intended to be used as a stress test device in a medical environment. The main goal of the
use of the devices is to create reproducible stress tests. With cycling ergometers typically workload
(watt) is imposed. With treadmills typically speed (km/h) and inclination (% grade) are imposed. This
product is designed both for manual operation and for control by external ECG-, pulmonary equipment.
Most likely this device will be used in conjunction with another medical device to obtain other important
physiological data, allowing a physician to evaluate a test subjects physical status.
The product may also be used for rehabilitation or active aging therapy.
As such the intended use of the device solely cannot be defined specifically.
The device has to be operated under the supervision of well-trained medical specialists in the field of
use.
The ultimate judgment whether a test subject should undertake a stress test with the device must be
made by the responsible medical specialist, based on the limitations of each individual, the medical
history and all other applicable circumstances. Neither the manufacturer nor its distributors assume any
responsibility for the final use of its equipment.
