1 - 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
Lode 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. A Lode 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.
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 Lode BV nor its distributors assume any responsibility for the final use of its
equipment.
