General Information
This manual is an integral part of the device. It should be available to the equip-
ment operator at all times. Close observance of the information given in the man-
ual is a prerequisite for proper equipment performance and correct operation and
ensures patient and operator safety. Please note that information pertinent to
several chapters is given only once. Therefore, read the manual once in its entire-
ty. Also observe the information given in the enclosed separate user manuals (e.g.,
the PC and ergometer user manuals).
To ensure maximum patient safety, the specified measuring accuracy, and inter-
ference-free operation, we recommend using only original accessories available
through Ergoline GmbH. The user is responsible if accessories from other manu-
facturers are used.
Ergoline GmbH is responsible for the effects on safety, reliability, and perfor-
mance of the equipment, only if

Safety Notices
Explosion Hazard
The ERS 2 system is not designed for use in areas of rooms used for medical purpos-
es where an explosion hazard may occur. Potentially explosive atmospheres may
result from the use of flammable anesthetics, skin cleansing agents or disinfec-
tants. Furthermore, great care must be exercised when the system is used in an
oxygen-enriched atmosphere. The atmosphere is considered to be oxygen-enriched
when the room air contains more than 25% of oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Shock Hazard
Before use, verify that the equipment is in correct working order and operating
condition. Check the cables and connectors, in particular, for signs of damage. Re-
place damaged cables and connectors immediately, before use.
Do not expose the equipment to direct sunlight to prevent system components from
reaching inadmissible, high temperatures. The equipment has no additional protec-
tion against the ingress of humidity.
