Patients may use training devices only on the order of a physician. Users must receive instructions
before they are allowed to use the training devices and accessories and they must never be left
unattended during the training.
The therapist is responsible for ensuring the safety of the training sessions. The training must
never be performed at levels exceeding the patient's exertion limits.
Patients must learn to assess their perceived level of exertion (RPE scale, effort). A patient who
does not feel comfortable should stop the training.
All analysis results and the notifications which the system generates on the basis of these results
are to be considered only as proposals. The results must be verified and evaluated by a qualified
physician to obtain a diagnosis and set up a therapy plan.
The therapist is responsible for monitoring the physical load (watts, speed, etc.) and exertion
parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, etc.). The accuracy of the displayed values must be verified
through measurements by an independent test authority.
Before starting the training session, check that the assignment of patients to ergometers is cor-
rect. If the assignments are not correct, the load sent to the ergometer at the respective training
place will not correspond to the patient(s). Load levels configured for a different patient this may
lead to inappropriate exercise levels, incorrect interpretation, and wrong diagnoses.
Before starting the training session, check that the correct ECG is displayed. If ECG transmitters
are mixed up or if the allocation of patients to transmitters is incorrect, the corresponding training
place will not show the ECG signal or heart rate of the correct patient. If the displayed heart rate
is from a different patient, this may lead to inappropriate exercise levels, incorrect interpretation,
and wrong diagnoses.

1 Introduction
Note
Do not expose the equipment to direct sunlight to prevent system components from reaching
inadmissible high temperatures. The equipment has no additional protection against the ingress of
humidity.
Hint
Functional test: Before starting the training session, address the patients with the number of their
training place and ask them for their names. If the name assigned in the ers2 system and the name
they tell you are not the same, correct the assignment of the training places.
Functional test: Tap on one of the patients' ECG sensor or lift it off the strap to cause an ECG sig-
nal disturbance. The disturbance must be visible in the ers2 system in the corresponding training
place. If you don't see the disturbance in the window of the ECG transmitter which you are check-
ing, the assignment is wrong and must be corrected.
Safe Use of Treadmills
Warning
Before patients start exercising on a treadmill they must receive detailed instructions and be aware
of the intensity of the treadmill movement. They must also bear in mind that the belt does not
stop when they stop running.
Inform the patient in advance before you start and stop the treadmill. Otherwise patients may suffer
injuries when the treadmill starts and stops unexpectedly. Also inform the patient in advance of a
change in speed during the training.
The treadmill parameter settings must be adequate for the patient's level of physical fitness.
Patients must always wear the stop tether lanyard when exercising. Patients with reduced physi-
cal capabilities must additionally be secured with a safety harness that protects them from falling.
The emergency stop function should be activated before the patient steps onto or off the treadmill
belt.
Before changing the speed or elevation of the treadmill belt, make sure that the patient does not
step onto or off the treadmill belt at the same time.
Inform patients that they are not allowed to change any settings at the control terminal of the
treadmill.
Information About Pacemaker Detection
Note
The ers2 system is not capable of automatically detecting pacemaker pulses. Be aware that ECG
signal interference may erroneously be interpreted as pacemaker pulses.

1 Introduction
Description of the ers2 System
Intended Use
The ers2 system controls patient-specific training programs on training devices for medical pur-
poses. Each phase of the training protocol is documented, providing the therapist/physician with
up to date information about the performance data and training progress of the rehabilitation
patient at any time.
The ergometers used must be medical ergometers that meet the requirements of the standard
IEC 60601-1-1. Both ergometers and treadmills can be used.
The ers2 software is capable of running up to 24 training devices at the same time.
For mere fitness purposes, the use of non-medical training devices is allowed.
The ers2 system is intended for use in rehabilitation centers, cardiology offices, and fitness centers
with cardiac rehabilitation programs.
The values displayed and stored in the ergoline rehabilitation system (ers2) are for information
only.
The ers2 system is intended only for use by trained individuals under direct supervision of a licensed
health care practitioner on adult and pediatric patients.
Parts and accessories must comply with the applicable IEC 60601 safety standards and/or the sys-
tem configuration must comply with the requirements of the standard IEC 60601-1-1 for medical
electrical equipment.
Contraindications
Warning
Before any training with the ers2 system, the following patient conditions have been ruled out:
• dizziness, nausea, or pain

• influence of substances that may impair the patient's vigilance (alcohol, drugs, medication).
Introduction
The role of exercise therapy as a part of the rehabilitation of cardiac patients in the follow-up
treatment phase II is viewed positively to a large extent today, based on decades of favorable
experience.
In recent years, various studies have been able to show the positive impact of exercise therapy on
coronary patients (Kellermann et al., 1967; Hellerstein, 1973; König et al., 1977; Hollmann et al.,
1983; Rost et al., 1991 among others).
Through constant advancement of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods, there has additionally
been a fundamental transformation of the rehabilitation process of cardiology patients in the past
few years. Along with the phases of early mobilization and exercise therapy, sports therapy has
also taken on greater importance today. "Early mobilization" refers to passive and active mobiliza-
tion as soon as the patient's clinical condition allows.
1 Introduction
"Exercise therapy" is medically indicated and prescribed movement which is planned and regu-
lated by the specialist therapist, monitored together with the physician, and performed with the
patient alone or in a group. "Sports therapy" is an exercise therapy measure which uses appropri-
ate sports means to compensate for and regenerate disrupted physical, mental and social func-
tions, prevent secondary injuries, and promote health-oriented behavior. It is based on laws of
biology and includes, in particular, pedagogical, psychological and sociotherapeutic methods and
aims to achieve lasting health literacy.
Ergometer training is used in this case, particularly in the areas of early mobilization and exercise
therapy within the scope of inpatient and increasingly also in outpatient rehabilitation in order to
increase the performance capacity of cardiovascular patients.
As studies have been able to show, the performance capacity and thus also the quality of life can
be significantly improved even in patients with heart failure by selecting an appropriate form of
training (interval training).
The increased requirements with regard to efficient work but also quality assurance and complete
documentation ("efficiency monitoring") of the training performed with all registered data can,
however, only be met by an appropriately designed ergometer training system.
The development of the new ergoline rehabilitation system ers2 was able to draw on the experi-
ence of more than 250 installed ergoline rehabilitation systems. Through intensive collaboration
with many users, therapists, sports scientists, and physicians, a new, modular system for controlled
ergometer training was developed which meets all of the requirements listed. The PC software
takes control of the patients' predefined training protocol, simultaneously documents all relevant
data (e.g., ECG, heart rate, training data, among others) and thus frees the therapist from routine
tasks—greater attention can be paid to the patients. But even the training equipment itself, the
ergoselect Reha ergometer, places the patient in the focus. Options for modular expansion and
upgrades allow the equipment to be adapted to increasing demands (e.g., automatic blood pres-
sure measurement, options for adjusting the saddle, etc.).
System Configuration
The central component of the ers2 system is a PC with an MS Windows operating system and spe-
cial software which runs the training programs. The training ergometers are connected to the PC
system via control lines or a WiFi interface. All data are shown on one to three 22-inch TFT moni-
tors; up to eight patients can be displayed and supervised on each monitor. The ergometers are
equipped for ECG monitoring with single-channel ECG amplifiers, whose signals are transmitted to
the PC via the serial interfaces. Wireless ECG monitoring is also possible as an alternative. The signal
will be transmitted to the system via a Bluetooth interface. In addition, automatic blood pressure
measurement and SpO2 monitoring can be integrated in the training protocols if the ergometers
are equipped accordingly.

menus can be adapted to a user's individual requirements.
For additional configuration steps, we provide references to the operator manual and technical
data sheets of the ers2 software.
Based on the information in this manual, it is possible to customize the user interface of the ers2
software to specific user requirements when putting the system into service.
This includes:
• configuration of the displayed tabs
• configuration of the double-click functions
• configuration of the context menu entries
• configuration of the menus in the main menu bar
• configuration of the analysis charts and report templates
With these configuration options, the software supports a general workflow with personalized
program parts.
1 Introduction
Default Protocols
With the ers2 software, a default training protocol can be created which is automatically assigned
to new patients registered in the system.
When the default protocol is accepted, only individual control parameters (load and training heart
rate) of the different protocol types need to be adapted. Based on the default profile, an economic
workflow can be set up within the ers2 software.

The default protocol(s) should be defined together with a certified ergoline partner as part of the
product training.
It is possible to create more than one protocol template. However, only one protocol template can
be defined as the default protocol (which will automatically be assigned to a new admitted patient).
Protocols other than the default protocol must be assigned manually.
Protocol templates are edited in the same way as patient protocols.
Hint
If in doubt, do not specify the load parameters to prevent overexertion of the patient.
A default protocol, which will be assigned to all Figure 5–1: Creating a default bicycle protocol
new patients registered in the system, is defined
by these parameters:
• duration of each phase during the training

• the time blood pressure measurements are
taken
• default protocol type
These are global settings that apply to all types of

a protocol.
It is recommended to define parameters and

default values for individual patients:
• THR = 99 BPM
• Warmup and recovery load (5 watts) will be
applied in all protocol types
• Separate training loads must be defined for the
following protocol types:
– Constant workload (10 watts)
– HR-controlled (10 watts)
– SpO2-controlled (90%)
– Interval training (10/15 watts)
– Custom
5.2 Creating a Default Treadmill Protocol
A default protocol, which will be assigned to all Figure 5–2: Creating a default treadmill protocol
new patients registered in the system, is defined
by these parameters:
• duration of each phase during the training

• default protocol type
It is recommended to define parameters and

default values for individual patients:
• THR = 99 BPM
• Speed and slope for warmup and recovery will
be applied in all protocol types
• Separate training speeds and slopes must be
defined for the following protocol types:
– Constant workload
– HR controlled:
– Speed & slope
– Speed
– Slope

5.3 Personalizing a Training Protocol
There are two areas in the training protocol Figure 5–3: Personalizing a training protocol
assigned to the new patient where it can be edited
to match the patient's requirements:
1 in Patient Management: the changes will not

affect the ongoing training.
2. depending on the configuration, on the training
panel (double-click area 3 "Control") changes
will
a) be saved in the protocol or
b) only be applied in the current training
Note
If the function Device Protocol "Save"
(see?also Menu 1–2: General / Mon. and
Tra. on page 31, sub-item General/Ses-
sion Protocol) is activated, a change
saved under 2 will override a previous
change under 1. This does not apply to
the reverse sequence.
6 Using Different Application Profiles
This chapter describes the use of various different application profiles, i.e., different configurations
and databases (e.g., for rehabilitation or exercise programs for cardiac patients), in an ers2 system.
In our explanations we assume that the ers2 system has already been installed and configured.
6.1 Creating a New Configuration File
Create a copy of the configuration file (default path: C:\ers\ers2app\ers2.cfg).

Rename the two configuration files according to their application, e.?g., ers2_rehab.cfg and
ers2_cardiac.cfg.
6.2 Creating a New Database Folder
Create a copy of the database folder (default path: C:\ers2\ers2db). Rename the two database
folders according to their application, e.?g., ers2db_rehab and ers2db_cardiac.
6.3 Creating a New Report Folder
Create a copy of the report folder (default path: C:\ers\ers2report\ers2).

Rename the two report folders, using the names of the configuration files (without file extension),
e.?g., ers2_rehab and ers2_cardiac.
6.4 Creating a New Desktop Shortcut
Create a copy of the desktop shortcut. Rename the

two desktop shortcuts according to their applica-
tion, e.?g., ers2 rehab and ers2 cardiac.

6.5 Creating the Configuration File
Perform the following steps for both desktop links:
1. Right-click the desktop link and select Proper-

ties in the context menu.
2. In the Target text box, add profile= after a
blank, followed by the name of the configura-
tion file (without file extension), for example,
ers2_rehab or ers2_cardiac.
6.6 Setting the Database Folder
Perform the following steps for both desktop links:
1. Double-click the desktop link to start the ers2

software.
2. In the main menu, select Configuration.
3. In the configuration menu, select Database.
4. When prompted for the password, enter
ergoservice and confirm the dialog.
5. In the Configuration - DB window, change the
name of the database folder in the fields Client
Path and Server Path accordingly, i.e., to
ers2db_rehab or to ers2db_cardiac, for
example.
Both application profiles can now be launched

with the desktop shortcuts.
If necessary, the settings for an application profile
can be modified before use.
