The ERS 2 system automatically controls up to 16 ergometers (bicycles or tread-
mills) and offers individual training protocols. Each phase of the training protocol
is documented, providing the therapist/physician with up-to-date information
about the patient's status, performance data, and training progress at any time.
The ergometers used must be medical ergometers that meet IEC 60601-1-1 re-
quirements. Both bicycle ergometers and treadmills are supported.
The ERS 2 system is only designed for operation in rooms used for medical purpos-
es. It is intended for use in rehabilitation centers, cardiology offices and fitness
centers with medical cardiac programs.
The ERS 2 system is intended to be used only by trained operators under the direct
supervision of a licensed health care practitioner on adult and pediatric patients.
Parts and accessories must comply with the applicable safety standards of the IEC
60601 series and/or the system configuration must comply with the requirements
of the standard IEC 60601-1-1 for medical electrical equipment.

Introduction
The role of exercise therapy as part of the rehabilitation of cardiac patients in
the follow-up treatment phase II is viewed positively by most experts, 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; KÖNlG 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 mobi-
lization and exercise therapy, sports therapy has also taken on greater importance
today. "Early mobilization" refers to passive and active mobilization as soon as
permitted by the patient's clinical condition.
"Exercise therapy" is medically indicated and prescribed movement which is
planned and regulated by the specialist therapist, monitored together with the
physician, and performed with the patient alone or in a group.
