Danger

•  Explosion Hazard  •

The device is not designed for use in areas where an explosion 
hazard may occur.  
Explosion hazards may result from the use of flammable anes-
thetics, skin cleansing agents or disinfectants.

Warning

•  Patient Hazard, Equipment Damage  •

Do not expose the

ergoselect

to direct sunlight to prevent sys-

tem components from reaching inadmissible high temperatures. 

Do NOT use the ergoselect outdoors (medical device). Further-
more the device has no additional protection against the ingress 
of humidity. Humidity inside the device may cause equipment 
malfunctions and increases the risk of an electric shock. 

Additionally, the device should not be operated in the vicinity 
of electric power plants, because they may impair equipment 
functions.

The 

ergoselect

ergometer may only be used in combination with 

accessories approved by ergoline GmbH

.

•  Risk to Persons  • 

Before using the ergometer, the operator must ascertain that it is 
in correct working order and operating condition. The cables and 
connectors, in particular, must be checked for signs of damage. 
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately, before use.

•  Equipment Malfunction  •

Only the special shielded cables supplied by ERGOLINE may be 
used to connect the device to other pieces of equipment.

•  Equipment Malfunction  •

Cellular telephones may not be used in the immediate vicinity 
of the ergometer, because they might interfere with the proper 
functioning of the ergometer.  
Electromagnetic interference most probably exists when the 
watt reading is unstable. If the displayed value changes fre-
quently even though the speed is above 30 RPM, this may be due 
to electro magnetic interference.

Warning

•  Shock Hazard  •

When the ergometer is connected to other equipment or if a 
medical system is created, it must be ensured that the added 
leakage currents do not present a hazard.  
In case of questions, please contact your ERGOLINE dealer or the 
ergoline GmbH Service Department.

For use, the ergometer must always be connected to electric 
installations that fulfill the local requirements.

•  Patient Hazard  •

The German Medical Device Operator Ordinance (MPBetreibV, 
§ 5) demands that users
• 

must be trained in the use of the ergometer 

•

assembly of the ergometer
