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.
2 - Precautions
Do not jump onto the rotating belt. Do not jump off the rotating belt (not even to the front). Do
not stop moving on the running belt. Do not turn around on the running belt. Do not move
sideways or backwards. Do not make movement that could get you out of balance.
Before each use, inspect the vest for damage. Do not use if the integrity is questionable.
The test subject should not wear loose or dangling clothing while using the device.
The test subject should always wear the belt of the lanyard safety belt.
Read all warnings posted on the device.

6.1 - Emergency stop installation
When your treadmill is delivered with an emergency stop, please note the
following:
The plug of the emergency stop button needs to be placed in the back
connector of the console on the front handrail.
Some emergency stop buttons have a connector for another emergency stop. You can place the spare
dummy there in case you have one button.
Also make sure that the magnet of the emergency lanyard is connected to the console.Otherwise the
treadmill will not operate.
7 - Control with an External Device
If your device is fitted with a communication card you can connect to many external devices.
1. Connect the device with the supplied cable to the external device. You can control the device with e.g. an
exercise ECG device or Metabolic Card.
2. Download the interfacing instructions from the internet at www.lode.nl after you have registered your device.
3. If your device has a control unit, select “Terminal”- mode to allow external commands. When the device does
not have a control unit the terminal mode is automatically selected. (See for detailed instructions the user manual
