Before the patient can lie down on the couch, the er-
gometer must be prepared as follows:
• Retract the saddle all the way.
• Adjust the longitudinal tilt to approx. 45 ° to allow
the patient to mount the couch easily.
• If a leg rest is installed, remove it from the side
where the patient will mount the couch.
• Ask your patient to lie down on the couch.
• If pedal shoes are installed, adjust them to the
patient's shoe size and strap the feet to the pedal
shoes with the Velcro loops.
• Reinstall the leg rest.
With the pedal in its lower position, there should be a
10° angle between the axis formed by the upper body
and the thigh:
• Adjust the saddle until this angle is achieved.
• Adjust the head rest until in contact with the shoul
-
der, when the head is placed on the head rest.
Caution
• Patient Hazard •
Do not use the ergometer unless the brakes on all four wheels
are locked.
Otherwise the ergometer may move sideways, particularly when
the patient mounts the couch, and persons present could get
caught between the couch and other equipment or the wall.
• Patient Hazard •
Use only the handgrip at the drive unit as an aid in mounting and
dismounting the ergometer.
Do not allow patients to place their full weight on the arm
rest (for blood pressure measurements) or to use it as an aid in
mounting and dismounting the ergometer.
