bicycle ergometer. At pedal speeds between 30 and 130
2 RPM and loads between 6 and 999 W, the ergometer
operates independent of the pedal speed. Figure 10-1

Microphone Position
Before applying the cuff, check the position of the
microphone inside the red pocket (on the inside of the
cuff): When inside the pocket, the microphone’s metal
side must face the arm.
Slip the microphone deep into the pocket and be sure not
to twist the microphone cable.
Figure 4-11 Inserting the microphone

Preparation
Cuff Application
The accurate placement of the microphone is the primary
condition for reliable pressure measurements during
exercise tests.
The center of the microphone must be located exactly

over the brachial artery.
Figure 4-12 Location of the brachial artery
You can locate the artery by palpation.
Figure 4-13 Palpating the brachial artery

The red tab identifies the position of the microphone.
Apply the cuff directly on the skin. Do NOT apply the

cuff over clothing, paper, etc. (being a PIEZO system, the
microphone uses the arterial pressure pulsations to
accomplish the measurement).
Apply the cuff approx. 2 cm above the bend of the

elbow. The cuff should be tight, but it should not
Figure 4-14 Applied cuff
constrict blood vessels. Make sure that the cuff does not
move during the exercise test.
A loose cuff would degrade the accuracy of the

measurement. Therefore, the eBike cancels the
measurement, if a minimum pressure is not attained
within a few seconds.
The cuff tab must be located below the metal clasp

(Figure 4-15).
Figure 4-15 Cuff tab
Connecting the Blood Pressure Cuff,
Securing the Cuff Tubing
 Connect the microphone to a (Figure 4-16).
 Connect the cuff tubing to the connection sleeve b. It
must properly lock into place. To disconnect the
tubing, push the knurled sleeve backward.
Figure 4-16 Connections for microphone a and cuff

tubing b

Preparation
When the blood pressure is taken during exercise tests,

care must be taken to prevent motion artifacts.
For this reason the Velcro tape supplied with the

equipment must be used to secure the cuff tubing to the
handlebar:
 Open the large Velcro tape and wrap it around the

handlebar as shown in Figure 4-17.
Figure 4-17 Securing the cuff tubing
 Use the small Velcro tape to secure the cuff tubing.
Take care not to squeeze the cuff tubing.
 Check that the cuff tubing does not knock against the
patient’s knee, when the patient is pedalling and the
hand rests on the handlebar.
 Instruct your patient to avoid excessive contractions
of the muscles in their upper arm during a blood
pressure measurement and to put their hands flat on
the handlebar without grasping it. Consider turning
the hands upside down, i.e., with the palm facing up.
For additional important information on blood pressure
measurements, please refer to “Taking the Blood
Pressure” on page 25.
Warning
Patient Hazard — If, by mistake, excessive pressure
builds up in the cuff, either remove the cuff
immediately from the patient’s arm or disconnect
Figure 4-18 Cuff tubing the cuff tubing at the control terminal. The same
applies when the cuff does not deflate correctly.

The load indication will also blink when patients do

Taking the Blood Pressure
6 Taking the Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure Module — Functional

Description
The blood pressure module takes the patient's blood
pressure at rest, using both the oscillometric method and
the auscultatory method.
The criteria for the oscillometric method are the pressure

pulsations superimposed, with every systole, on the air
pressure in the cuff. A pressure transducer measures the
pressure pulsations, converts them into electric signals
and evaluates them.
Figure 6-1 Waveform representing the pressure
decrease in the cuff during a measurement: The auscultatory method uses a microphone to acquire
systolic pressure at 140 mmHg, diastolic
and evaluate the Korotkov sounds.
pressure at 80 mmHg
The device continues to inflate the cuff (up to 300 mmHg
max.) as long as pressure pulsations can be sensed; the
inflation phase varies from patient to patient.
Note The first blood pressure measurement of an exercise test
Apply the blood pressure cuff before initiating a is the baseline measurement taken before the patient
blood pressure measurement. starts pedalling. Both measuring methods (oscillometric
and auscultatory) are employed. A measurement is
considered to be valid, when both results agree within a
given tolerance. While the baseline measurement is
taken, the patient should not pedal or move. Reliable
measurements during the exercise tests when motion
artifact cannot be avoided can only be expected after a
successful baseline value has been established.
During the exercise test, measurements are only taken

with the auscultatory method. It is important for this
method that the microphone is placed directly above the
brachial artery (see “Applying the Blood Pressure Cuff”
on page 17). A microphone that is not in the correct
position on the arm may cause invalid measurements.
In the PC Mode and in Ergometry, measurements are

initiated according to the selected test protocol, in the
Manual mode, they are initiated with NIBP
. Additional
measurements can be taken with NIBP
; the same button
can be used to stop a measurement in progress.

Level Guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications

equipment should be used no closer to the
eBike PC, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance
calculated from the equation applicable to
the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
Conducted RF to EN 3 Veff 3V
d = 1.2 P
61000-4-6 150 kHz to 80 MHz
d = 1.2 P for 80 MHz to 800 MHz
Radiated RF to EN 61000- 3 V/m 3 V/m
4-3 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 2.3 P for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
where P is the output power rating of the

transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in
meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters,
as determined by an electromagnetic site
survey a, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range.b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects, and people.
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 transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the eBike PC should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the eBike PC.
b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Appendix
Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile

RF Communication Equipment and the eBike PC
The eBike PC is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below on which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the eBike PC can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the eBike PC as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

100 11.7 11.7 23.3
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters
(m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum
output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Appendix
