Intended Use
A Lode ergometer is a diagnostic tool intended to be used as a stress test device in a medical
environment. The main goal of the use of a Lode ergometer is to create reproducible stress
tests. The following parameters can be measured:
Workload (watt)
Revolutions per minute (rpm)
Time (minutes and seconds)
Distance (km)
Optional: Blood Pressure (mmHg)
Optional: Heart rate (beats per minute)*
Optional: Energy (KiloJoules)
Optional: SpO2
In combination with other diagnostic tools, like ECG or pulmonary function equipment, other
important physiological data can be obtained, allowing a physician to evaluate a test subjects
physical status.
A Lode ergometer is designed both for manual operation and for control by external ECG-,
pulmonary equipment. In combination with optional software, the ergometer can also be
controlled by a PC.
The ergometer has to be operated under the supervision of well-trained medical specialists,
like cardiologists, pulmonologists and physiotherapists. The ultimate judgment whether a test
subject should undertake a stress test with an ergometer and which protocols should be used
must be made by the responsible medical specialist, based on the limitations of each
individual, the medical history and all other applicable circumstances. Neither Lode BV nor
its distributors assume any responsibility for the final use of its equipment.
* Warning
The signal of the Polar belt and receiver may be disturbed by external equipment. Therefore,
it is recommended to check the surroundings and switch off or remove the source of the
disturbance.
