1The Patient Session
Overview
A patient session is the period of time when the exercise stress test is performed, and
waveforms are acquired and processed for a single patient. Patient information is linked with
all waveform data acquired during the patient session. The session starts when you begin a
new exam and gather pre-exercise data, and lasts through generation of the final report.
In ST80i, the exercise stress test begins with the Pre Exercise phase and ends with the Report
phase.
 Pre Exercise
 Exercise
 Recovery (and Post-Recovery)
 Report
CAUTION Do not run any other applications, including screen savers, when performing an exercise stress test.
Once the test has begun, the ST80i application does not allow you to access other system functions.
