About the Philips ST80i Stress Test System
1-2 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use
Overview
The ST80i System is a PC-based diagnostic tool intended to acquire, process, and store ECG
data of patients undergoing stress exercise testing. The software records ECG, heart rate, and
ST data, creates summary tables, trends, and produces a final report regarding a variety of
cardiac data indices. The cardiac data provided by the stress system is intended to be reviewed,
confirmed and used for diagnostic purposes by trained medical personnel to assist in the
diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the patient’s physiological condition during
stress exercise testing
.
NOTE The arrhythmia detection portion of ST80i is provided for the convenience of automatic
documentation. ST80i does not offer a diagnostic opinion; rather, it provides a high-fidelity instrument
recording ECG waveforms during exercise, for the purpose of providing a tool to expedite the
documentation of a test for which a clinician renders his/her own medical opinion.
ST80i provides the standard 12-lead ECG by the use of the 10-lead electrode wireless patient
interface module (PIM).
