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 flammable anes-
thetics, skin cleansing agents or disinfectants.
Warning
• Patient Hazard, Equipment Damage •
Do not expose the ergoselect to direct sunlight to prevent sys-
tem 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 fre-
quently 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 fulfill the local requirements.

Safety Information for
Non‑Invasive Blood Pressure
Measurement
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
Do not take blood pressure measurements with a cuff on
patients suffering from sickle cell anemia or where skin lesions
are likely to occur.
The cuff 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.
In certain cases, a valid measurement will not be possible.
Electromagnetic fields are also capable of impairing the mea-
suring accuracy.
Note
•
The blood pressure module and the approved accessories
are defibrillation-proof and may remain attached to the
patient during defibrillation.
•
If the cuff pressure exceeds the maximum value of
300 mmHg during inflation, the inflation procedure will be
aborted and the cuff deflated.
As a redundant safety precaution, the cuff is immediately
deflated when the cuff pressure exceeds 320 mmHg.
You can check the proper functioning of this safety precau-
tion by abruptly bending your arm while the cuff is being
inflated, causing a brief overpressure in the cuff. The cuff
must deflate immediately.
•
Measurements that did not yield a valid measurement will
not be repeated during the exercise test.
•
If the inflation 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 cuff deflated.
•
If a valid measurement cannot be completed within
120 seconds, the measurement will be aborted and the cuff
deflated.
•
If the cuff pressure remains constant for some time, the
measurement will also be aborted and the cuff deflated.
Intended Use
The ergoselect is a computer-controlled medical ergometer.
At pedal speeds between 30 and 130 RPM and loads
between 6 and 999 watt, the ergometer operates indepen‑
dent of the pedal speed.
The speed-independent range is shown in the Appendix
(Technical Specifications).
The ergoselect ergometer may only be used in exercise
testing as well as for rehabilitation of cardiac and cardio‑
vascular 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 inju‑
ries or property damage resulting from the unintended use
of the equipment.
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, fulfill the biocompatibility
requirements of the applicable standards if applied as
intended.

Preparing the Patient
Adjusting the Saddle and the Handlebar
On the ergoselect 100, you adjust the saddle height manu‑
ally with a clamping lever. On the ergoselect 200, the
saddle height is electrically adjusted with the correspond‑
ing keys on the control terminal (the display below the
saddle indicates the saddle height).
With the pedal in the bottom position, the angle between
the axis formed by the upper body and the thigh should be
approximately 10°.
Set the handlebar to a position where the patient sitting
upright on the saddle can reach it easily.
To do so, open clamping lever 1 and set the handlebar to a
suitable angle.
On the ergoselect 200, the height of the handlebar can ad‑
ditionally be adjusted with clamping lever 2 - the horizon‑
tal bar should be approximately at the samel level as the
saddle.

Preparing the Patient for Blood
Pressure Measurements
Cuff Size
Always choose the cuff size suitable for the patient's arm.
The maximum arm circumference is indicated on the cuff.
Microphone Position
Before applying the cuff, check the position of the micro‑
phone inside the red pocket (on the inside of the cuff):
When the microphone is inside the pocket, its metal side
must face the arm.
Applying the Cuff
The center of the microphone must be located exactly
on the brachial artery. Locate the artery by palpation, if
required. The red tab identifies the position of the micro‑
phone.
The accurate placement of the microphone is the primary
condition for reliable pressure measurement during exer‑
cise tests.
The cuff must be applied directly on the skin, it may not
be applied on top of clothing, paper, etc. Apply the cuff
approx. 2 cm above the bend of the elbow. The cuff
should be tight, but it should not constrict blood vessels.
The cuff may not move during the exercise test.

Caution
• Patient Hazard •
Apply the cuff directly on the skin. Make sure that rolled up
sleeves do not impede blood circulation in the upper arm.
Loose cuffs will cause erroneous measurements; overtight cuffs
may constrict blood vessels or cause skin lesions and hemato-
mas.
• Incorrect Measurements •
A loose cuff would degrade the accuracy of the measurement.
Therefore, the computer aborts the measurement, if a mini-
mum pressure is not attained within a few seconds.
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
If, by accident, an excessive pressure builds up inside the cuff ,
either remove the cuff immediately from the arm or disconnect
the cuff tubing from the control terminal.
The same measures are recommended, if the cuff does not
deflate correctly.
When you close the Velcro strap, check that the metal
clasp (a) is inside the marked index range (b), and not
outside.
The cuff tab must be located below the metal clasp (see
illustration at right).
Checking the Cuff Tubing
Check that the cuff tubing does not knock against the
patient's knee, when the patient is pedalling and the hand
is on the handlebar.
Secure the cuff tubing with the Velcro tape attached to the
handlebar.
Instruct your patient to move as little as possible during
a blood pressure measurement and, in particular, to avoid
excessive contractions of the muscles in the upper arm.

An ergoselect ergometer with a control terminal P sup‑
ports the following operating modes:
PC MODE
An external device (e.g. stand-alone electrocardio‑
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-configu‑
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 configure 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 Specifications").

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-configu‑
rable and stored in the system (see chapter "Settings").
TRAINING
Ten different training protocols with warm-up, exer‑
cise and recovery phases can be custom-configured
(see chapter "Settings").
A POLAR receiver is integrated in the ergometer and
provides the relevant data for heart-rate controlled

EKG Type
The selected EKG Type determines the communication
method with the ECG recorder, PC-based ECG system, etc.
To prevent an accidental change of this setting, the menu
is protected with a password.
Using the arrow keys, enter 003 and confirm the entry
with SELECT.
All ergoselect ergometers support the following communi‑
cation modes:
•
Analog with pulse
Remote start mode; prior the each load change, the
ergometer generates a control pulse and sends the
corresponding data via the interface.
•
Analog / Digital
An analog voltage controls the load - blood pressure
measurements can be initiated with digital commands.
•
Digital (default)
The communication with the ergometer is entirely
controlled with digital commands.
•
Analog IN-OUT
The entire communication (load control and BP mea‑
surements) is controlled with analog signals.
No digital data will be sent.
Select the communication mode and confirm with SELECT.

(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radio, AM and FM radio
broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF trans-
mitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the ergoselect ergometer
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the ergoselect ergometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the ergoselect ergometer.
(b) Over the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
