• Compromised Measuring Accuracy •
Arrhythmias occurring frequently during a measurement may

compromise the accuracy of the measurement.
Valid measurements may not be possible under certain circum-
stances.
Electromagnetic fields are also capable of impairing the measur-

ing accuracy.
Note
• The blood pressure module and the approved accessories

are defibrillation-proof and can remain attached to the
patient during defibrillation.
• If the cuff pressure exceeds the maximum value of
300 mmHg during inflation, the inflation procedure will
be aborted and the cuff deflated. As a redundant safety
precaution, the cuff is immediately deflated when the cuff
pressure exceeds 320 mmHg.
You can check the proper functioning of this safety precau-
tion by abruptly bending your arm while the cuff is being
inflated, causing a brief overpressure in the cuff. The cuff
must deflate immediately.
• Measurements that do not yield a valid measurement will
not be repeated during the exercise test.
• If the inflation phase takes longer than 40 seconds or if an
adequate pressure does not build up in the cuff within a
reasonable period of time, the measurement will be aborted
and the cuff deflated.
• If a valid measurement cannot be completed within
120 seconds, the measurement will be aborted and the cuff
deflated.
• If the cuff pressure remains constant for some time, the
measurement will also be aborted and the cuff deflated.

Setup
Place the ergometer on a horizontal level floor.
The ergometer must be set up in a secure and stable

position; the two leveling feet at the back make for easy
adjustment to uneven floors. An optional stabilizer plate is
available to enhance the stability.
Extend the foot concerned until the ergometer no longer

wobbles.
Levelling feet of the eBike III ergometer
In case of delicate flooring, it is recommended to place
a mat under the ergometer to protect the flooring from
damage by the feet.

Connecting the Power Cord
Stand at one side of the ergometer and firmly grasp the
handlebar and the saddle with both hands.
Then tilt the ergometer carefully to one side (it is recom-

mended to do this with the help of a second person) and
place it on the floor so that it rests on the handlebar.

exercise tests.
The center of the microphone must be located exactly over

the brachial artery.
Figure 1 Location of the brachial artery
You can locate the artery by palpation.
Figure 2 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 micro-
phone 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 constrict blood Figure 3 Applied cuff
vessels. Make sure that the cuff does not move during the
exercise test.
A loose cuff would degrade the accuracy of the measure-

ment. 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).

Connecting the Blood Pressure Cuff

• Slip the cuff tubing onto the fitting (1) and engage.
To disconnect, push back the connector‘s knurled
sleeve.

• Connect the microphone cable for blood pressure
measurement to the intended port (2) so that it clicks
into place.

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 equip-
ment 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 1.
Figure 1 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.
Warning
• Patient Hazard •
Figure 2 Cuff tubing
If, by mistake, excessive pressure builds up in the cuff, either re-
move the cuff immediately from the patient’s arm or disconnect
the cuff tubing at the control terminal. The same applies when
the cuff does not deflate correctly.

Taking the Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure Module — Functional
Description
The blood pressure module takes the patient’s blood pres-

sure 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.
The auscultatory method uses a microphone to acquire

and evaluate the Korotkov sounds.
The device continues to inflate the cuff (up to 300 mmHg

max.) as long as pressure pulsations can be sensed; the Waveform representing the pressure decrease in the cuff
inflation phase varies from patient to patient. during a measurement: systolic pressure at 140 mmHg,
diastolic pressure at 80 mmHg
The first blood pressure measurement of an exercise test is
the baseline measurement taken before the patient starts
pedalling. Both measuring methods (oscillometric and
auscultatory) are employed. A measurement is considered Note
to be valid, when both results agree within a given toleran-
ce. While the baseline measurement is taken, the patient • Apply the blood pressure cuff before initiating a blood

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 19).
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 initi-

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

Performing a Measurement
Always switch on the eBike III before applying the blood
pressure cuff to the patient. At power-up, the eBike III
checks the sensors and zeroes it. If the cuff is already
applied, it may not be entirely depressurized. The eBike III
would display an error message in this case.
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 hand round so
that the palm faces upward.
Baseline BP measurements taken at rest are important for

the proper artifact filter and gain settings.
The baseline measurement is always the first measurement

initiated by the system (e.g., CardioSoft, CASE).
The patient should not move while baseline measurements Caution

are taken. In no event should patients start pedalling. Incorrect Measurements, Baseline BP Measurement – A mea-
surement manually initiated at the control terminal is NOT a

incorrect or implausible, the exercise test must be termina-
ted at the ECG system and restarted. The system must have completed the preceding exercise test.
Before the new attempt, check the cuff application and

microphone position and, if required, inform the patient
again about the correct behavior during measurements.

ous measurements may occur during determination of the

measurements must be taken simultaneously. The results
may be clearly different.
To verify the measurement accuracy of the eBike III, first

complete three measurements with the eBike III on one
arm and simultaneously with a reference unit on the other
arm. Then exchange the two units, leaving the cuffs in
place, and perform another three measurements.
Compare the mean values from these six measurements.
