- Taking care when dressing the ECG cables so as to minimize the potential tripping hazard during the stress ECG study process.
- Securing the patient lead set, power cable, treadmill cable, echo cable, NIBP cable, and SpO2 cable away from patients feet before beginning the exercise stage. If a treadmill is being used, instruct the patient to rest his/her hands on the handrails while on the treadmill. ST80i captures and presents data reflecting a patients physiological condition that, when reviewed by a trained physician or clinician, can be useful in determining a diagnosis. However, the data should not be used as a sole means for determining a patients diagnosis. Both analog ECG output and TTL sync output are considered real-time, with a delay (latency) of no more than 25 ms between the patients physiological activity and the appearance of its representative signal at the external port. This signal should not be used for analysis. To get the most accurate interpretation during resting ECG, use traditional limb lead placement. For the users convenience only, rhythm change notifications are provided when specific rhythm changes are detected; however, it is the responsibility of the trained healthcare professional to determine the type of rhythm ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use xxv Safety Information for the ST80i Stress Test System change and take appropriate action. Additionally, the healthcare professional should not assume that all rhythm changes will be detected, and they are responsible for taking action when rhythm changes are observed on the displayed waveforms and the system fails to provide a notification. It is expected that only properly trained healthcare professionals working directly under the supervision of a qualified physician will be operating the ST80i System during testing. ST80i cannot import ECGs from another vendors stress system. Demo mode must be turned off when testing patients. If the Stop Treadmill button on the ST80i interface does not respond for any reason, immediately press the red Emergency button on the treadmill handrail or, if available, pull the safety tether.

If you do, maintain physical security of the media at all times. Deleting data from rewritable/erasable media does not make the data inaccessible to a determined individual. Dispose of removable media containing patient health information in accordance with your institutions policies. Communication of unencrypted PHI should only occur across a secured intranet. Upon returning the equipment to Philips, eliminate all patient health information or other confidential data, unless otherwise directed by Philips for problem investigation. Retain only the information necessary for the investigation with full agreement from both parties. Configure the system to not run executables (.exe files) automatically when connecting external drives. See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for more information. Rename the built-in Windows Administrator account. Disable the Guest account. Every user should have a unique identity. Set up a BIOS password to prevent unauthorized access to the computer setting. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use xxxvii The Philips ST80i Stress Test System Although security safeguards to protect the system against the intrusion of malware (viruses, trojans, worms, and so on) are recommended, a possibility remains that a system can become infected. In all circumstances, the system safety mechanisms are designed to remain intact, even when you might notice unfamiliar system behavior and performance. If this happens repeatedly, such as after the system has been switched off and on again, contact Philips customer support to have the system checked and, if needed, cleansed of malware. Malware prevention software should be configured to receive automatic updates. If the virus scanning software has detected infection by malware, do not use automatic repair utilities because the integrity of the repaired software cannot be guaranteed. Contact Philips service to assess and repair the system. Additionally, please be sure to adhere to local procedures regarding malware infection, which may include disconnecting from the network until the situation is resolved. Perform regular backups of system data and store in a secure location. ST80i allows you to back up the stored ECG report and the configuration setting. Users with administrator accounts can back up and restore ECG reports from the Archive screen; administrators can also back up the configuration setting on the Settings screen. The exported configuration setting can be imported on the Settings screen to restore the ST80i configuration. User must maintain physical security of the media that stores the backup files at all times. You risk losing ePHI if you transfer it to unsupported and/or obsolete backup media (for example, floppy disks). Limit Web browsing to the downloading of Philips-authorized security patches or updates. Web browsing dramatically increases the chance of the system being infected by malicious software. ST80i is not generally used in situations where emergency access is required. If this is important to your organization, it is recommended that you establish administrative procedures to permit emergency access to the device when normal login and authentication credentials are not available.

This opens the first phase of the testPrepare. Before the Patient Session The exercise stress test process requires some advance preparation before running the patient session. Advance preparation includes the following:
Checking the wireless Patient Interface Module (PIM) Checking the equipment connection (treadmill or ergometer), if used Setting up a Pharma test, if ordered, according to hospital protocol 3-10 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Once advance preparation is complete, the patient session follows a series of typical steps, from preparing the patient to the final review of the exam. Before the Patient Session Wireless Patient Interface Module (PIM) The wireless PIM is a small data acquisition device that samples patient ECG signals and sends the processed signals to ST80i. The wireless PIM assembly contains the signal acquisition electronics, patient isolation circuits, and system interface circuits. The patient lead set connects to the patient electrodes on one end and plugs in to the wireless PIM on the other. Figure 3-7 Wireless PIM and Lead Set The wireless PIM digitizes the ECG signal and downsamples the ECG data before transmitting ECG data to ST80i. The wireless PIM uses high-pass and low-pass filters to produce filtered ECG data within certain bands. The wireless PIM performs lead signal quality detection to determine if a lead is not connected to the patient or if electrode/patient contact impedance is excessively high. Before each patient session, inspect the PIM and lead wires for any visible damage, including worn or cracked insulation on the lead wires. The wireless PIM displays the following information:
Wireless signal strength indicator:
The wireless signal strength indicator appears once the PIM and AIM are synchronized, when the real-time ECG screen is displayed. This occurs when the exam moves to the Prepare phase or when you have clicked Resting from the Main screen. Wireless performance and signal strength are monitored on the currently used RF channel. The wireless PIMs signal quality icon indicates the connection status. If a channel has excessive interference, the wireless PIM automatically determines a clearer channel with higher signal strength and ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-11 Before the Patient Session coordinates with the Advanced Interface Module (AIM) to switch to the new channel. Lead-off indication for every lead:
ST80i recognizes when an electrode is not connected and displays that information on the graphic of a human torso on both the wireless PIM and ST80i interface. Power indication for battery:
The wireless PIM is battery-powered, and the battery voltage is monitored to ensure that the battery is not overly discharged. The remaining battery capacity is displayed in the wireless PIMs power indicator lights within the battery icon. These lights blink every 5 seconds when the PIM is in use. If the battery is discharged to the point where the PIM is expected to shut down shortly:
- The PIM battery indicator blinks once every second.
- The ST80i battery indicator turns red and blinks once every second.
- ST80i displays one of the following Low Battery messages, depending on the current phase of the exam:
- When you enter the Prepare phase: Battery capacity is too low to perform a new test. Please replace battery.
- During an exam: Remaining battery capacity will provide approximately 1 hour of operation. Replace at your discretion. The wireless PIM uses off-the-shelf (OTS) disposable AA alkaline batteries for its power source. For the disposable AA battery, the system has been designed to provide approximately one week of battery service life for a typical user environment. Caution ST80i supports only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries for the PIM. Replace the battery before the stress test starts if you receive the Battery capacity is too low to perform a new test message. The message that indicates estimated battery life is at least 1 hour should enable an exam to be completed before you replace the battery. The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended, as the remaining capacity indication may be inaccurate, resulting in the possibility of the PIM powering down during a stress test or a low-battery alert shortly after replacing the battery. If your facility is using more than one PIM, each one must be added to the ST80i application under Settings (System Settings > I/O Devices). When you connect the patient to one of the PIM devices, you also need to verify that the address on the device matches the address displayed on the Prepare screen. To preconfigure multiple PIM addresses, see the ST80i Stress Test System In-
stallation and Configuration Guide. 3-12 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Starting a Patient Session Checking the Treadmill/Ergometer Connection During the entire stress test, the ST80i software validates the response from treadmill/ergometer to ensure the communication between PC and treadmill/ergometer is successful. If there is a connection issue, a communication error message appears across the waveform area. During the Prepare phase, successful connection to the exercise device is indicated the presence of the Start Treadmill or Load Ergometer button at lower right of screen. In later phases, after the exercise device has been started, the buttons are named Stop Treadmill and Unload Ergometer. If the device loses communication with the ST80i system during any exercise phase, these buttons disappear. Setting Up a Pharma Test To set up a Pharma test, follow hospital protocol. Starting a Patient Session When you start a patient session by clicking Stress on the Main screen, you move through the following phases:
Prepare Pre Exercise Exercise Recovery Reports Note:
If you have the Resting ECG Workflow product option installed, you can also start a patient session by clicking Resting on the Main screen. Once you have performed the resting ECG, you can move directly to the Prepare phase of the stress test. For more information, see Chapter 5, Resting ECG Workflow. When you select a patient from the worklist for the stress test, you are immediately brought to the Prepare screen. Based on your user account settings at login, a preconfigured profile is loaded for the stress test. During the Prepare phase, the patient is connected to the electrodes so that the proper placement and ECG quality can be confirmed. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-13 Starting a Patient Session Select the Patient To select a patient from the worklist 1. Click Stress on the Main screen. 2. Click the patients worklist entry to select the patient and click OK, or double-
click the patients name. The Prepare screen appears. The patients name and date of birth appear on the title bar along with the patient ID. The predefined protocol is shown on the procedure bar. Note:
If communication with the BreezeSuite application is enabled, but BreezeSuite is not ready to receive data, a message opens to ask whether you want to proceed without BreezeSuite. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel. Figure 3-8 Prepare Screen Start Treadmill By default, the application displays the real-time ECG waveforms in the format specified in the selected user profile. To change the real-time ECG display, see Using the Toolbar Icons on page 2-15. When the treadmill is configured in the protocol or selected from the Exercise Device list in the Select Patient from Worklist window, the Start Treadmill button appears in the side panel. If you select Cycle as the protocol for the patient or select an ergometer from the Exercise Device list on the Select Patient from Worklist window, the Load Ergometer button appears instead. 3-14 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Select the Wireless PIM Prepare Phase Make sure the PIM is powered on and that it shows at least two bars of battery power. In a multiple-PIM environment, make sure that you select the correct PIM once the exam enters the Prepare phase. By default, the last PIM used appears as the current PIM on the Prepare screen. When you click on the device name, a unique address appears, which is used to identify that specific PIM. If there are multiple PIMs registered, they appear as they were named during configuration. To select the wireless PIM 1. Click the PIM menu in the procedure bar. 2. Click the name of the PIM device to be used. 3. Press the PIM button on the device to power it on (if it is powered off). The PIM wireless status provides feedback that the PIM is selected to communicate with the application. Caution Follow the correct procedure to select the PIM when multiple PIMs are detected. To ensure proper wireless function of the PIM, press the PIMs light button to display battery strength. If the battery is discharged to the point where the PIM is expected to shut down shortly:
The PIM battery indicator blinks once every second. The ST80i battery indicator turns red and blinks once every second. ST80i displays this message: Battery capacity is too low to perform a new test. Please replace battery. Note:
To save the battery power, the PIM is preconfigured to power off automatically when there is no action on the PIM for a predefined period. This period of inactivity can be configured from 3 to 15 minutes. To configure PIM Power Saving, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. Prepare Phase When you select the patient name, the Prepare screen appears. In the Prepare phase, you ensure that everything is ready, including the patient, the PIM, and the exercise device, before the actual test begins. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-15 Prepare Phase Instruct the patient about the stress test. During the Prepare phase, you perform the following tasks:
Prepare the patients skin. Attach the electrodes/lead wires. Note:
You cannot enter the Pre Exercise phase without, at minimum, all limb leads connected. Good ECG technique is very important to achieve the best quality results. Connect the wireless PIM. Check the lead map. Check signal quality (filtering and sync output). Verify a clean ECG. Attach the BP cuff and/or the SpO2 sensor. Click the Pre Exercise button or press F7 to move to the Pre Exercise phase. Note:
If you attempt to start the exercise device during the Prepare phase, you receive the Cannot start equipment in the Prepare Phase message. Instructing the Patient about the Test Before attaching the electrodes, greet the patient and explain the procedure. Explaining the procedure decreases anxiety and informs the patient about what to expect. You can also click the Explain Test button on the Main screen to play an audio file that explains the test to the patient. Make sure that the PCs audio is enabled (in other words, that the speakers are not muted). Note:
ST80i ships with a default audio file that explains the exercise stress test;
however, you can record your own audio file and configure ST80i to play this file when the user clicks the Explain Test button. For more information, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. Privacy is important to relaxation. When possible, prepare the patient in a quiet room or area where others cannot see the patient. Reassure the patient that the procedure is painless. 3-16 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Prepare Phase Make sure the patient is comfortable. The patients arms and hands must be relaxed. If a treadmill is being used, instruct the patient to rest his or her hands on the handrails and not grasp the handrails tightly. The more relaxed the patient is, the less the ECG is affected by noise or muscle artifacts. Preparing the Skin Thorough skin preparation is very important. The skin is a poor conductor of electricity and frequently creates artifact that distorts the ECG signal. By performing methodical skin preparation, you greatly reduce the potential for myographic noise and baseline wander, ensuring high-quality printouts and displayed data. There is a natural resistance on the skin surface due to dry or dead epidermal cells, oils, and dirt. To prepare the skin 1. Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection. 2. Wash the area thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. Note:
Do not use alcohol to clean the skin. 3. Dry the skin vigorously with a gauze pad to increase capillary blood flow to the tissues and to remove dead or dry skin cells and oil. 4. Use an abrading pad to lightly scratch an X pattern into the skin, taking care to avoid excessive abrading. Attaching the Electrodes/Lead Wires Be sure to place the snap connectors on the electrodes before placing the electrodes on the patient. Ensure that the leadset is long enough to connect limb leads to the patients wrist and ankle if you plan to capture a resting/supine ECG during Pre Exercise. Placement of the electrodes may need to be changed according to the stage of the test:
When performing a supine/resting ECG to capture a baseline during Pre Exercise, place the limb leads on the limb extremities. This provides the most accurate results, ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-17 Prepare Phase Note:
You must also place limb leads on the limb extremities if you use the Resting ECG Workflow product option to capture a resting ECG. See Chapter 5, Resting ECG Workflow, for more information. When performing a standing or Mason-Likar ECG, place the limb leads on the torso in the Mason-Likar positions. Left Leg [LL/F]
ST80i supports the use of 12-lead wireless PIMs. The 12-lead wireless PIMs connect to the AIM and support 10 electrodes. Using AAMI/IEC labeling, these electrodes are:
Right Leg [RL/N]
Right Arm [RA/R]
Chest leads [V1/C1, V2/C2, V3/C3, V4/C4, V5/C5, and V6/C6]
All leads are acquired simultaneously. Review the following lead wire labeling and electrode placement information in Figure 3-9 to ensure a quality ECG. Left Arm [LA/L]
Figure 3-9 Mason-Likar Electrode Placement (AAMI/IEC) AAMI Lead IEC Lead Electrode Position Right side of the sternum in the 4th intercostal space Left side of the sternum in the 4th intercostal space 3-18 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use AAMI Lead IEC Lead Electrode Position Midway between V2 and V4 Prepare Phase Left midclavicular line in the 5th intercostal space Between V4 and V6 5th intercostal space, left midaxillary Place the limb electrodes for the arm directly on the clavicle bones (away from major muscles) Below V6 on the lower edge of the ribcage On the lower edge of the ribcage To attach the electrodes to the patient 1. Place the gel area of the electrode over the center of the prepared area, using the positioning shown in Figure 3-9; then press the adhesive ring into place.
- Avoid pressing the center of the gel area; this might hinder conduction.
- Place the electrodes on the soft tissue of the arms, avoiding muscle. See limb lead placements notes next. Lead placement is similar to standard 12-Lead ECG placement; however, limb leads are modified, as follows:
- Right Arm and Left Arm leads should be placed close to the shoulders on the clavicle bone, away from the muscular areas to avoid muscle interference.
- The Right Leg lead should be placed on the lower edge of the rib cage, in the lower right area of the patients chest (avoiding flabby areas and the belt). This may need adjustment depending on body habits.
- The Left Leg lead should be placed on the lower edge of the rib cage, below V6, in the lower left area of the patients chest (avoiding flabby areas and the belt). This may need adjustment depending on body habits. 2. Ensure the electrodes are firmly attached. A good test for firm electrode contact is to try to move it. If it moves easily, the electrode connection is too loose. Do not allow electrodes to move in any way. 3. Have the patient raise his or her arms over the head. This helps verify good lead placement and no strain on the electrodes. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-19 Prepare Phase Connecting the Patient to the Wireless PIM All of the ST80i lead sets are designed to share the same connector that plugs into the mating connector on the wireless PIM. To connect the patient to the wireless PIM 1. Plug the lead set connector into the mating connector on the wireless PIM. Ensure that lead wires do not bump or rub against anything. 2. Place the wireless PIM into the PIM holder. The PIM holder and belt are designed to keep the PIM steady, thereby minimizing movement of the lead wires and ECG signal artifacts. The PIM holder/belt is adjustable up to a patient waist size of 57". Wireless PIM Button Functions The wireless PIM has one button that you can use to:
Power the PIM on or off Check PIM battery status, wireless link quality, and lead contact quality.
- When requested to check battery status, the wireless PIM provides an indication of estimated battery power remaining.
- When requested to check lead/electrode connections, the wireless PIM indicates a poor lead signal quality condition by showing a yellow LED light for any patient electrode connection where the measured impedance is considered excessively high for good quality, low-noise ECG measurements. You can check the lead signal quality of lead connections while hooking up and preparing the patient in an area outside of the range of the systems radio connection. Checking the Lead Map To check the Lead Map 1. Click the Hide/Show View icon in the toolbar on the Prepare or Pre Exercise screen. 2. Select Show Lead Map. A color-coded anatomical diagram displays the lead connections. 3-20 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Figure 3-10 Lead Connections Prepare Phase If a lead is off, a red X is displayed on the lead map to indicate the affected lead. Red dashed lines are displayed in the real-time ECG view. For the chest leads, the lost lead location is indicated by red dashed lines. If a limb lead is lost, all leads or all but one limb lead display as dashed red lines. For more details on checking the lead quality connection, see About the Lead Map View on page 2-20. For more details about adjusting the filter, see Quick Settings on page 2-31. Note:
Using medical tape to fix the lead wires to the chest may help to minimize strain applied to electrode connections, thus reducing noise and the possibility of a leads-off condition occurring. Checking Signal Quality to Verify a Clean ECG ST80i can recognize when an electrode is not connected and display that information on both the wireless PIM and the Exercise screen. As you adjust the electrodes, the display is updated to reflect changes in the connectivity of the signal. The leads-off condition is saved with the data and is indicated on any printed reports that contain that data. You can set the color of the ECG (waveform) to be green on black or black on red. For green waveforms, a lead-off condition is indicated on the real-time display as a red dashed line; for black waveforms, a lead-off condition is indicated as a black dashed line. When printed, the lead-off condition also appears as a dashed line. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-21 Prepare Phase Figure 3-11 Red Dashed Line Showing Leads-off Condition for V4 Start Treadmill ST80i also provides an indication to the operator when the front-end is inoperative and cannot acquire a signal. If the PIM is off or cannot acquire a signal, then the ST80i display does not show the wireless signal indicator or battery status indicator. If the AIM can find the PIM but no ECG is displayed, then all leads are shown as red dashed lines, but the wireless signal and battery status indicators are displayed. These conditions are saved with the data and are indicated on any printed reports that contain that data. Filtering When you open the ST80i application, the active settings of the filters are associated with your user profile. The same filter settings apply to both displayed and printed waveforms. The filter settings are printed with the report. Note:
Enabling the Artifact Filter and/or Smart Filter during a test causes a brief data loss represented by red dashed lines on the display due to initialization of filtering algorithms. Disabling the Artifact Filter and/or Smart Filter causes a brief data loss represented by a sudden change in waveform morphology. The filtering techniques developed for ST80i permit the user to identify any clinically significant ST deviation and do not degrade the integrity of the relevant ECG signal content, specifically the ST segment (deviation and slope). This capability is especially important during stages of exercise (stage three and later) where more motion and muscle artifact is present, which could otherwise obscure the ST deviation. 3-22 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Prepare Phase The ECG data is stored in its recorded state (0.02300Hz, all filters off) and user-selected settings are stored with the ECG. Note:
The ECG data is filtered at 0.05150 Hz before being analyzed by the algorithm. This filter is called the algorithm filter and cannot be turned off by the user. The algorithm filter is independent from other filters, is not controlled by the user, and does not affect the saved ECG data. All filters can be turned on or off as needed to improve displayed and printed waveform quality except for the algorithm filter (as described above) and minimum filters (0.02Hz high pass filter and 300Hz low pass filter). If the AC Filter is enabled, it is applied at a user-specified 50Hz or 60Hz to ECG data sent to the algorithm. If the Smart Filter is enabled, it automatically detects the frequency of the AC Filter, rather than using the specified 50/60 Hz. If needed, you can change the default filter settings. For details on filter settings, see Quick Settings on page 2-31. Sync Output ST80i supports two analog ECG output signals and one TTL ECG Sync output on the AIM. The AIM accepts real-time ECG data from the wireless PIM and dispatches the data to the PC and output channels. This signal serves as a synchronization signal for coordination of timing between ST80i and another device, such as imaging devices. The analog-out signals are amplified. TTL/Analog Output Option:
You can specify the ECG lead used for syncing the TTL/Analog Output. The source signal of the analog ECG and TTL Sync for each output channel can be selected by software from any of the available ECG leads separately. The amplify ratio for the Analog ECG Output can also be configured independently. To change Analog and/or TTL Output settings during a patient session, see Quick Settings on page 2-31. To configure Analog and TTL Output, see the ST80i Stress Test System Instal-
lation and Configuration Guide. WARNING Both analog ECG output and TTL sync output are considered real-time, with a delay (latency) of no more than 25 ms between the patients physiological activity and the appearance of its representative signal at the external port. This signal should not be used for analysis. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-23 Prepare Phase Note:
ST80i monitors drop-out (interference) and signal strength and automatically selects a clearer frequency band when excessive drop-out exists. The drop-out level threshold is configurable from Settings > System Settings > I/O Devices. For more information, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. Software design also ensures that the waveform or lead label can be correctly displayed, stored, and printed, to avoid data conversion or lead combination errors. Attaching the BP Cuff Note:
If using the SunTech Tango NIBP device, follow the manufacturer's recommendations to attach the cuff. It is important that the microphone be placed in the correct position to ensure accurate BP measurements. There is excellent information on the SunTech Medical website, www.suntechmedical.com, related to Tango and the proper positioning of the cuff. To attach the BP cuff 1. Place the cuff on the patient. 2. Take a pre-stress NIBP connection test to determine whether the cuff is correctly placed on the patient and to ensure NIBP measurements throughout the stress test. Attaching the SpO2 Sensor To attach the SpO2 sensor, attach the SpO2 sensor to the patient's finger and verify that the screen displays an SpO2 value. Interpretive Settings In Settings > User Profile > Algorithm, you can preconfigure interpretive settings for the DXL Algorithm and CAlg templates. This must be done before you begin a patient session. For details on configuring interpretive settings, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. The settings are listed here for reference only, with the exception of Pacer Detection, which you can access from the Quick Settings menu during a stress test. 3-24 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use DXL Algorithm Prepare Phase Borderline Statement Suppression Pacer Detection The pacer detection algorithm detects both atrial and ventricular pacing. Pacemaker detection is preset in the user profile, but can be changed using the Quick Settings icon. The options include:
- Paced Unknown
- Paced
- Non-paced
- Paced (magnet) Paced Unknown is the default mode, in which the detector uses its default sensitivity setting to determine if pacemaker pulses are present. The pacer detection setting in effect at the time an event is recorded is used for the analysis of that event. If the pace-pulse program is enabled and it detects the presence of pace-pulses, it provides output in textual and graphical formats:
- The interpretive report contains textual statements about the findings for the pace-pulse program.
- Tick marks appear on the printed ECG at locations where pulses are detected. The interpretive report contains textual statements about findings.
- Only one set of tick marks is printed for any given period of acquisition, regardless of the number of channels presented.

ST Segment analysis must be enabled for ST values to be analyzed and displayed. The same applies to Arrhythmia analysis. There is no printing or saving of arrhythmia ECGs; however, PVCs are counted. Entering the Pre Exercise Phase The Pre Exercise phase does not start automatically. To enter the Pre Exercise phase, click the Pre Exercise button or press F7. Pre Exercise Phase The Pre Exercise phase does not start automatically. Once the leads are in place and the patient has been prepared (during the Prepare phase), you must click the Pre Exercise button or press F7 to move to the Pre Exercise phase. Once you have clicked the Pre Exercise button, the ST template starts and the Max and Target heart rates show real values. During the Pre Exercise phase, you create a baseline for the patient by taking a resting blood pressure and a resting ECG. Note:
To have Pre Exercise averages available in reports, Pre Exercise must run for approximately 40 seconds before entering the Exercise phase. The Pre Exercise phase consists of the following tasks:
1. Wait 40 to 50 seconds for the ST template to be built. The template is complete when an ST value is displayed. This is required if you want to compare the final test results with the resting results. 2. Take a resting/baseline BP to be used as the Reference BP in the final report. Note:
The BP must be taken before the ECG. 3. Take a resting/baseline ECG. 3-26 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Pre Exercise Phase Note:
The type of baseline ECG (Supine or Standing) to be used as the Reference ECG is preconfigured in Settings. 4. After the Pre Exercise data is gathered, have the patient move to the treadmill or ergometer to begin monitoring.
If you are using a treadmill, have the patient straddle the belt. Then start the treadmill and give the patient time to become accustomed to using it. If you are using an ergometer, seat the patient and instruct the patient to begin pedaling. The patient encounters the initial resistance configured for the protocol.
5. When the patient is accustomed to the device, click the Exercise button or press F7 to begin the Exercise phase. During Pre Exercise, you can adjust the J+ Point value. With the Zoom ST window open, hover the cursor over the current value, then click and type the new value. Finally, click OK. The Pre Exercise phase is preset for treadmill speed and grade or for ergometer power based on the protocol selected. Figure 3-12 Treadmill Speed and Grade Note that the Pre Exercise time is separate from the Exercise time. Note:
If you manually update patient information in the Edit Patient Information window during the Pre Exercise phase, patient information is also updated in the Report screen. Baseline/Reference BP and SpO2 ST80i supports optional SpO2 and motion-tolerant Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) devices. ST80i automatically collects the NIBP through a cuff. The patients SpO2 is collected in real-time through a sensor. BP and SpO2 are real-time numeric displays for the NIBP and SpO2 values for an entire study or for a single instance. They can be manually measured and the values can be overridden. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-27 Pre Exercise Phase During the stress test, NIBP is measured according to the intervals defined in the exercise protocol and is continually displayed on the screen. This is recorded in the BP mmHg field in the side panel and also on the ECG. The SpO2 measurement is continuously updated and is recorded in the side panel in the SpO2 field. If enabled, there are also audible prompts for NIBP. To enable audio prompts, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. To connect the patient to the NIBP device and to the SpO2 sensor, see Attaching the BP Cuff on page 3-24 and Attaching the SpO2 Sensor on page 3-24. Manually Enter BP and SpO2 When you enter or acquire blood pressure values according to the pre-
programmed automatic prompts or at any other times during the test, for each recording, the blood pressure value, phase, and total time of the phase at the time of the acquisition are captured. The automatic timing of blood pressure measurements is established in the exercise protocol. You can, however, take blood pressure measurements with an NIBP device at any time during each stage by using the BP button. Or you can enter the measurement manually, after taking the patient's blood pressure. When you manually enter the values of BP and SpO2, the value of BP and SpO2 are displayed in the stage report and the final stress report. Note:
ST80i continues to update the real-time NIBP or SpO2 values from the NIBP monitor even when or if the values are manually entered. To take a blood pressure measurement (if the patient is connected to an automatic blood pressure monitor) other than a timed BP, click the BP button in the procedure bar. The current blood pressure measurement displays in the BP mmHg (Sys/Dia) field. The previous blood pressure measurement displays in the Previous BP mmHg field. To manually enter the blood pressure measurement when no NIBP device is connected 1. After you take the patient's blood pressure, click the BP mmHg(Sys/Dia) field in the side panel. 2. Type the latest blood pressure measurements in this field using the following guidelines:
- Use only numbers 1 through 400. There is no need to type the slash (/) between the systolic and diastolic values. 3-28 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Pre Exercise Phase
- Type a minimum of five digits. The systolic value must include three digits, so if the systolic measurement is below 100, type a zero as the first digit
(for example, type 097). 3. Click OK in the BP mmHg (Sys/Dia) field. The display shows the manually entered measurements. The previous blood pressure measurement displays in the Previous BP mmHg field. To override the SpO2 1. Click the SpO2 field in the side panel. 2. Type the latest measurement in this field using numbers between 0 and 100. 3. Click OK in the SpO2 field. The display shows the manually entered measurement. Note:
ST80i software validates the input values of BP and SpO2 before they take effect to ensure that the numbers fall within an expected physiological range. For details about how this information is displayed in the final report, see Chapter 4, Working with Reports. Resting ECG with Interpretation Wait 40 to 50 seconds for the ST template to be built. The template is complete when an ST value is displayed. This is required if you want to compare the final test results with the resting results. Note:
This section describes how to capture resting ECGs during the Pre Exercise phase of a stress test. This information does not apply to using the Resting ECG Workflow product option. See Chapter 5, Resting ECG Workflow, for information about the Resting ECG option. Once the waveforms are satisfactory, you are ready to acquire a resting
(supine) or standing baseline ECG. Note:
If you plan to use the Compare feature with the baseline ECG as a reference, be sure to wait 40 to 50 seconds after the start of Pre Exercise before you capture the ECG. This allows the template to be built. The template is complete when an ST value is displayed. ST80i allows you to acquire and print a 12-Lead resting ECG with or without interpretation when the patient is supine. DXL must be enabled in Settings to ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-29 Pre Exercise Phase have interpretation appear on the ECG. This data appears as part of the final ECG report. ST80i provides resting ECG interpretation using the latest Philips DXL algorithm for traditional limb lead placement. To get interpretation, you must first configure Enable DXL Algorithm in Settings > User Profile > Algorithm. For details, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. WARNING To get the most accurate interpretation during resting ECG, use traditional limb lead placement. Using Mason-Likar electrode placement may result in deviation in interpretation. Interpretations and analysis results provided by the Philips DXL 12-lead Analysis Algorithm for 12-lead ECG captures are intended for use with traditional limb lead placement and are not validated for use with other lead placements When the algorithm finds excessive artifact or AC noise, it gives a related warning/error string. The string is printed on the report and is saved when saving the report. The algorithm also reports wrong lead placement. See Filtering on page 3-22 regarding artifact or AC noise. To obtain a 12-Lead resting ECG with interpretation during the Pre Exercise phase 1. Click the Event icon in the toolbar. 2. Select Supine. After a few seconds, if printing is enabled, the ST80i system prints a full 12-
Lead resting ECG with measurements and interpretation text. If printing is not enabled, ST80i saves the ECG. To obtain a 12-Lead ECG without interpretation (during any phase of the stress test) If you do not want the printed ECG to have a label, click the ECG Print button. If you want the printed ECG to have a label, click the Event icon and select the appropriate label from the menu. After a few seconds, the ST80i system prints a full 12-Lead resting ECG. After taking the baseline measurements, you are ready to instruct the patient in the proper use of the equipment. Starting the Patient on the Treadmill or Ergometer The start and stop control for the treadmill or ergometer appears in the ST80i side panel. There is also an emergency stop button on the treadmill. Depending on the treadmill model, there might also be a safety tether. 3-30 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Exercise Phase You can manually control the speed and grade of the treadmill or the power
(wattage) of the ergometer during any stage in the Exercise test. See Controlling the Treadmill or Ergometer on page 3-38. To start the patient on the treadmill 1. Have the patient straddle the belt. 2. In the ST80i application, click Start Treadmill. The button changes to Stop Treadmill. The treadmill starts at the preselected speed and grade set for the protocol. Note:
Alternatively, you can press F4 to start the treadmill or load the ergometer, or press F6 to stop the treadmill or unload the ergometer. 3. Allow the patient to become acclimated to the movement of the belt, and then provide the patient with the following instructions:
- Keep your body straight and head up.
- Walk in a normal walking position with arms at your sides, or place your hands lightly on the handrails for stability but do not bear down with too much gripping force.
- Use as little upper-body motion as possible and stay near the front of the treadmill. You are now ready to begin the Exercise phase. To start the patient on the ergometer, instruct the patient to begin pedaling. The patient encounters the preselected resistance set for the protocol. You are now ready to begin the Exercise phase. To begin the Exercise phase, click the Exercise button on the procedure bar or press F7. The Exercise screen appears. Exercise Phase CAlg has a learning phase during which it automatically selects the initial 12-
lead dominant QRS complex. CAlg removes baseline wander and aligns successive non-noisy complexes of similar shape and then averages them together to form a noise-reduced representative beat. As new, similar complexes arrive, they are added to the representative beat, and old complexes are removed from it. When CAlg stops finding good matches for the representative beat and all old complexes have been removed, it automatically detects a new dominant morphology and builds a new representative beat. CAlg makes ST measurements on the noise-reduced representative beat. During the test, you can print 12-Lead ECGs automatically or manually. You can choose any of the following display choices:
ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-31 Exercise Phase 12 leads 6x2 leads 6 leads 3 leads You can start the Exercise phase of the test at any time; however, a warning message pops up if the algorithm has not obtained an ST value from all 12 leads. Because baseline ST values, which are used to calculate ST elevation and depression, are recorded at the beginning of the Exercise phase, it is important to make sure there are valid ST values when beginning the Exercise phase. Conducting the Exercise Stress Test When you move into the Exercise phase of the test, the treadmill loads the settings associated with the first stage of the test, and the stage and phase clocks start counting. Figure 3-13 Exercise Screen Stop Treadmill The exercise time builds cumulatively as the patient completes each stage. However, with each new stage, the stage clock restarts at 00:00. The stage time, speed, and elevation for each stage are defined by the protocol. If you want to move to the next stage, without waiting for the system to automatically change, you can click the Go to Next Stage button on the procedure bar. This starts a new stage and a new stage time, but the exercise time continues to build. If you want to keep the stress test in the current stage, overriding automatic stage changes, you can click the Hold Stage button. 3-32 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Exercise Phase To remove the hold on stage changes, click the Unhold Stage button. Even if the duration of the hold spans what would have been multiple stages, the removal of the hold returns the stress test to the stage following the one during which the hold was placed. If the patient can no longer continue exercising, you can end the Exercise phase of the stress test by clicking the Recovery button, or by clicking the Stop Treadmill button, if necessary, and then clicking Recovery. The Recovery phase is preset to slow down the treadmill and lower the elevation. Monitoring the Patient During the Exercise phase:
The patient walks on the treadmill or peddles the ergometer, unless the patient is unable to exercise or is not using an exercise device. You record blood pressure/SpO2, observe events, and record RPE, while closely monitoring the patient. You can switch from an automated protocol to manual operation, giving you full control over the treadmill. To switch to manual control, see Controlling the Treadmill or Ergometer on page 3-38. You can change the display parameters, as needed during the Exercise phase. For details, see Using the Toolbar Icons on page 2-15. The Exercise phase comprises several stages, which are defined by the selected protocol. For a breakdown, see Appendix B, Protocol Reference. Figure 3-14 Exercise Stage and Protocol In general, you will most likely use the standard settings as specified by the profile and protocol selected. Changing to Another Protocol If you need to switch to a different protocol at any time during the Exercise phase of the test click the drop-down arrow next to the current protocol to select a new protocol from the list that was configured in Settings. The phases and stage settings associated with the newly selected protocol are loaded into ST80i. See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for setting default protocols. To change to another protocol 1. On the procedure bar, click the drop-down arrow next to the current protocol to display the list of preconfigured protocols:
ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-33 Exercise Phase

- Pharma Low Ramp
- Med Ramp
- High Ramp
- USAF/SAM 2.0
- USAF/SAM 3.3 2. Select a new protocol from the list. The time on the stage clock resets to 00:00 for the next stage. When you change the protocol, the test advances to the beginning of the next stage. The speed and grade settings (for treadmill) or RPM and power settings
(for ergometer) change to reflect the new protocol. Printing During the Stress Test At any time during the stress test, you can trigger real-time ECG (a real-time ECG is defined as 10 seconds of ECG data) and continuous Rhythm printing using the icons displayed on the Exercise screen or using hot keys. The time latency should be less than 7 seconds. You can also capture and store events and notes for later review and reporting. Arrhythmia events can trigger automatic printing with the context ECG, if configured. In addition, you can also turn off the continuous printing both on the configuration and during the test. Hot Keys for Printing The following hot keys can be used in place of the ST80i icons and buttons:
CTRL+P Prints a selected Event during the Report phase. F10 Starts the printing of a rhythm report. Pressing again stops the printing. F11 Prints a 12-Lead ECG. Printer Settings During the patient session, you can change the Rhythm Print settings using the Quick Settings icon. See Using the Toolbar Icons on page 2-15 for details.

Click the RPE icon on the toolbar. 2. From the list, select the RPE statement that matches what the patient reports. 3. Click OK. The system prints an ECG with the RPE statement. Event Printouts An Event printout is triggered when you document patient events and symptoms using the Event icon. The Supine, Mason-Likar, and Standing events are typically selected to provide baseline information. Events such as Hyperventilation, Chest Pain, and so on are used to document patient symptoms as they occur. Note:
If enabled, Arrhythmia events can trigger automatic printing with the context ECG. This can be enabled in the user profile. See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for how to enable Arrhythmia events. To print an event 1. Click the Event icon on the toolbar. 3-36 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Exercise Phase 2. From the Event list, select the event to record. The system prints an ECG and records the event for the final report. For more information, see Recording an Event on page 2-25. Freeze Printouts When you click the Freeze icon on the procedure bar, the most recent 10 seconds of ECG data is frozen. A dialog box opens to display an image of all leads captured at the moment you click the Freeze icon. To print a freeze 1. Click the Freeze icon on the toolbar. The Freeze dialog box appears to the right of the waveform. 2. Click the Print button to print and save the frozen ECG. For more information, see Freeze on page 2-25. Stage Printouts Stage printouts can be configured in the exercise protocol to print automatically (or to not print at all) during each stage of the Exercise phase of the stress test. A 12-Lead ECG can be printed at the beginning or end, or at some other specified time interval of each stage. However, the stage printout/schedule time is also affected by how the printer type is configured. If the printer type is set to Off in Settings, the stage does not print even if it is configured in the protocol to print. However, the ECGs are saved. The stage printout can also be configured to include the 12-Lead average beats and/or the zoomed lead. These settings are defined for each stage of the exercise protocol when an ECG is automatically generated for the stage. Both Event and Stage printouts include the following:
Report title Protocol name, phase, stage number, and so on Patient demographics (mandatory) Heart rate, blood pressure, and speed and grade (when using a treadmill) or Load (when using an ergometer) ECG Waveform ECG acquisition time and Stage time Average beat (if configured) Maximum ST changes in this stage (for Stage printout only and only if a Event name (for Event printout only) zoomed lead or averages are configured to print) For more information on printing reports, see Chapter 4, Working with Reports. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-37 Exercise Phase Controlling the Treadmill or Ergometer At any point during the Exercise phase of the stress test, you can switch to manual mode and change the speed and/or elevation grade of the treadmill or the power setting of the ergometer. This change overrides the protocol settings for the current stage. Once you enter manual mode, there is no next stage, and you cannot return to the protocol. Caution Be sure to inform the patient of the changes. If the treadmill or ergometer is unavailable, ST80i displays Unavailable where the Start Treadmill or Load Ergometer button would be. To control the treadmill or ergometer manually 1. Click in the field that shows the current speed or current elevation of the treadmill or the current power setting of the ergometer. The Manual Mode confirmation appears. 2. Click OK to enter manual mode so that you can override the protocol settings and operate the treadmill or ergometer manually. Note:

Before restarting, inform the patient that the treadmill will quickly ramp up to the speed and elevation that was in use when the treadmill was stopped. If you used the Stop Treadmill button, you must use the Start Treadmill button to restart the treadmill. If you used the emergency stop button (ESB), you must disengage the ESB before pressing the Start Treadmill button. See Maintaining the ST80i System on page 6-1 for information about inspecting the cables and attachments between the PC and the Treadmill. Notifications and Alerts ST80i provides visual indications or alerts in case of dramatic morphology or rhythm changes. All notifications are preconfigured in Settings > User Profile
> Notifications. The configuration includes the events to be displayed or printed as well as specific audio alerts. Configuration must be completed before you begin a patient session. For details on configuring interpretive settings, see the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide. In Settings > User Profile > Notifications, you can choose to display and/or print the following Arrhythmia events:
Afib Asystole High Heart Rate (>=220 bpm is the default, but this limit can be configured) Pause >4000 ms PVC (Premature Ventricular Contractions) /+ per minute Sudden drop in BP (>=50 mmHg is the default, but this limit can be configured) 1 missed beat 2 missed beats Ventricular Escape Beat VFIB ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-39 Recovery Phase VRun(>=3PVCs) /+ per minute VTACH (>= 9PVCs and >=120BPM) V Bigeminy V Couplet /+ per minute The preconfigured audio alerts consist of the following:
NIBP Notifications Note:
If you enable Notifications, all configured arrhythmia events trigger audible alerts; if you disable Notifications, all arrhythmia event audible alerts are off. Stage Change See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for more information regarding the setting of notifications. See also Interpretive Settings on page 3-24. Ending the Exercise Phase The protocol determines the number of exercise stages as well as their duration. Once the final stage is complete, the application automatically moves into the Recovery phase. During any stage, you can end the exercise stress test and move directly to Recovery by clicking the Recovery button. Generally, you terminate the Exercise phase when the patient reaches a percentage of their target heart rate. The clinician determines the end point according to patient's status, and many patients never reach 100%. The target heart rate is preconfigured in the user profile. If the reading reaches 100% of the target heart rate, the graph indicator color changes from green to red. Recovery Phase When the last stage of the Exercise phase is complete, ST80i automatically moves into the Recovery phase. For the Recovery phase, the factory-loaded protocols are preset for the number of stages and for speed and grade or power. See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for Exercise Protocol settings. When the patient has completed the last exercise stage of the protocol or the 3-40 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Recovery Phase test has been discontinued (as documented in Reason to End in the Summary), the exercise stress test automatically enters the Recovery phase. If conditions require it, you can manually move to the Recovery phase. To manually enter the Recovery phase, click the Recovery button. The system moves into the Recovery phase of the test. You can now acquire a recovery ECG and blood pressure and proceed with the Recovery phase of the test. During the Recovery phase:
The system automatically prints a 12-Lead ECG. The 12-Lead ECG is printed at this stage of transition regardless of system settings. This is the Peak Exercise ECG. The total exercise time clock freezes and begins displaying the Recovery time instead. If there is more than one Recovery stage, the software displays the stage time and the cumulative Recovery time. ST80i advances the treadmill or ergometer to the recovery workloads specified in the protocol. Click Stop Treadmill or press F6 to stop the treadmill (or press the red emergency stop button). Using the Narrative icon, you can type comments describing why the patient ended the Exercise phase of the test, the patients symptoms, and conclusions.

When the report is finished loading, the Report screen opens. Stop Treadmill ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-41 Report Phase Report Phase The Report phase begins when the Recovery phase ends and the Report screen opens. Post-Recovery During the Report phase, a period of post-recovery that lasts from 5 to 60 minutes allows ST80i to continue to monitor the ECG, HR arrhythmia alerts, and BP changes. You can manually enter a BP or initiate a Tango NIBP. To include a record of this BP in the final report, type it in the Narrative or Notes window. If you take a 12-lead ECG in this phase, it is saved as an event and included in the final stress report. Data is not saved unless an event is triggered. If events are triggered, the event data is saved as part of the final report. During post-recovery, you can click the Save button on the Report screen as many times as necessary. All saved data is part of the final report. The patient session ends when you exit the Report screen. When you exit, monitoring stops and no more ECG data is displayed. Note:
ST80i stops streaming test data after the 60-minute post-recovery period. From the Report screen, you can review and modify the content of the final test report. You can print the individual reports that are also included in the final report, save the final report, and print it. After you save the report, you can export it to a PDF file for distribution or storage.

From the Report screen, you can review and modify the contents of the final stress report, which is displayed in tab format. This includes report summary information, trends, average QRS, events, ST comparison, maximum ST, and resting ECG. You can save the final report, and then print it. In addition, you can print the individual sections that are part of the final report. After you save the report, you can export it for distribution or storage as a PDF file, as XML data, orif you have IntelliSpace ECG version B.01 or lateras raw data
(PDR). If exporting to a DICOM report server, the report can include 12-Lead ECGs and/or PDR, or it can be exported as a DICOM Structured Report (SR). Export settings are preconfigured in Settings > Remote Sites. See the ST80i Stress Test System Installation and Configuration Guide for more information. Note:
If you manually update patient information from the Report screen, this information is not updated in the patient profile in the worklist. However, updating patient information during Prepare or Pre Exercise does update the patient profile on the Select Patient from Worklist screen. Report Phase When stress testing enters the Report phase, you can edit various fields and data and then generate a final stress report. The final report is divided into several pages that include, for example, the report summary, trends, average QRS, events, and resting ECG. During the Report phase:

To move quickly to any point in the exam, click on the desired location on the status bar or drag the slider control to the desired location. Clicking and dragging the slider control changes the time frame being reviewed. You can also click the left and right arrow buttons to advance backward and forward in the ECG. In addition, you can also create new events while reviewing the Full Disclosure Report. To create a new events, you use your mouse to place an event marker. To capture the intended event and make it visible in the ECG report, the marker must be placed a specific number of seconds following the actual event. The ECG Event format configured in Settings determines the event marker placement delay. The Standard format is 3X4 with one or two rhythm leads. In this format there are four leads groups, each providing 2.5 seconds of ECG. Each leads group requires a different delay, as shown in the following table. 4-24 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Saving the Final Stress Report Table 4-2 Event Marker Placement Delay for a 3x4 Layout Leads Group Placement Delay I. II. III 10 to 7.5 seconds aVR, aVL, aVF 7.5 to 5 seconds V1, V2, V3 V4, V5, V6 5 to 2.5 seconds 2.5 to 0 seconds As another example, for 6x2 format, there are two groups of six leads each. Each group in this case displays 5 seconds of ECG for a total of 10 seconds. Therefore, the delay after the event would be 10 to 5 seconds for the first groups and 5 to 0 seconds for the second group. To create a new event during the review of the Full Disclosure report 1. Press and hold the left mouse button for a few seconds on the intended maker location inside the waveform area of the Full Disclosure tab.

Print (Quick Print Settings) button on the procedure bar Print button on the Resting ECG tab and the Events tab Post Recovery ECG (two print buttons to the right of the ECG waveform) The printers, for printing individual reports or the final stress report, are preconfigured in the Settings section of the application. However, the printer default settings and the Print Grid check box (if you are using a laser printer) can be changed on the Report screen. You can also preconfigure the print settings to add your facility logo and site information to the final stress report. The seven main report sections that comprise the final stress report are preconfigured with specific settings as part of the user profile in the Settings section of the application. Summary Report Trends Report 12-Lead ECG Report Average QRS Report Events Report (including manual ECG, manual event, stage report, RPE, arrhythmia, freeze) ST Comparison Max ST 4-26 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Printing Reports Printer Configuration on page 4-27 provides a general overview of printer configuration options. Printer Configuration on page 4-27 provides basic information about print report settings. See the ST80i Stress Test System In-
stallation and Configuration Guide for more information on how to preconfigure printers, add your facility logo, or preconfigure reports for the final stress report. Printer Configuration ST80i supports the following printer options:
Thermal printer You can print only on the device. The optional thermal printer supports all printing formats, including resting ECG auto/rhythm printing and stress ECG report printing. Laser printer You can print locally on the device to which a laser printer is attached or through the network to a remote laser printer. The laser printer supports all printing formats. If the printer is networked, the network connection is disabled while the treadmill or ergometer is running. Remote printers If ST80i is set up to connect remotely to a default laser printer, this printer path needs to be set up first. The remote printers support all formats except for continuous/real-time printing. The default printer is configurable in the Settings section of the application. However, you can manually change the settings on the Report screen using the Print (Quick Print Settings) button. The grid can also be selected under the Print function on the Report screen. Printed reports provide a calibration pulse on printed waveform reports for an added check on print speed and amplitude accuracy. WARNING ECG signals printed on a laser printer should not be used to make time-sensitive or amplitude-sensitive measurements directly from printed page.

To capture a standalone resting ECG not associated with a stress test. To capture a resting ECG before a stress test. You can advance directly from the resting ECG to the Prepare phase of the stress test. Note:
The Resting ECG Workflow option uses the same algorithm as Philips cardiograph products, such as the TC Cardiograph series. This chapter provides the information you need to perform a standalone resting ECG using the Resting ECG Workflow option. Caution Do not run any other applications, including screen savers, when performing a resting ECG. Once the ECG has begun, the ST80i application does not allow you to access other system functions. For information about a patient session for a full stress test, see Chapter 3, The Patient Session. WARNING To get the most accurate interpretation during resting ECG, use traditional limb lead placement. Using Mason-Likar electrode placement may result in deviation in interpretation. Interpretations and analysis results provided by the Philips DXL 12-lead Analysis Algorithm for 12-lead ECG captures are intended for use with traditional limb lead placement and are not validated for use with other lead placements ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 5-1 ST80i Resting Screen ST80i Resting Screen If you have the Resting ECG Workflow product option, the ST80i Main screen includes a Resting icon, which you click to open the Resting screen.

No user serviceable parts are inside. ANY modification of this device may alter defibrillator protection. Any modification to any part of this device is to be performed only by qualified service personnel. See also Chapter 6, Maintaining the ST80i System. Essential Performance Statement Within the intended use and environment, the performance elements critical to the ST80i Stress ECG system remain to be the accurate, safe acquisition of ECG signal, accurate rendering of acquired ECG information, as well as correct processing, analysis, and printing of the ECG report. These functionalities shall not be degraded or negatively impacted by electromagnetic, electrical interference, or environmental conditions that the system is designed to withstand. The ST80i system can receive and store blood pressure (BP) and SpO2 measurements (no waveforms) from a qualified OEM medical device. The BP/
SpO2 product is sold as an option and is not used by all customers. Failure to successfully store the measurements on the ST80i system is not considered to be an essential performance failure. The measurement values are available for review on the OEM device and can be manually entered into the ST80i report if persistent data transmission failures occur during the stress ECG exam. Non-medical equipment in the system has been assessed to determine if failures with that equipment could create an unacceptable level of risk. Specifically, it has been determined that early termination or an interruption of a test protocol does not necessarily preclude the patient from receiving additional therapy in a timely fashion. Inclusion of and failure of the non-
medical equipment in the system does not result in creation of an unacceptable risk and, therefore, does not negatively affect the essential performance of the stress system. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use E-1 ST80i System IT Hardware Requirements Similarly, transmission of the ECG report is not considered an essential performance element under environmental disturbances. The test procedure is observed by a qualified clinician as mandated by hospital protocols. Results from the test are stored in real time. Loss of data due to an interruption in the exam is covered by the previous statement dealing with early termination. A report for the test is generated and stored when the testing has been completed. Failure to transmit the data is a recoverable error and delayed transmission of the data does not result in additional unacceptable risk to the patient. ST80i System IT Hardware Requirements For the ST80i System to function properly, the following minimum specified system requirements must be met.

The system should be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided. An electronic device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has been performed on the ST80i Stress Test System according to the international standard for EMC for medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2, Editions 4 and 4.1). This IEC standard has been adopted in Europe as the European Norm (EN 60601-
1-2, Editions 4 and 4.1). WARNING Radio frequency (RF) interference from nearby transmitting devices may degrade performance of the electronic equipment. Electromagnetic compatibility with surrounding devices should be assessed prior to using the equipment. WARNING Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can also affect the performance of electrical equipment. See your Service Provider for assistance with the minimum recommended separation distance between RF communications equipment and the ST80i Stress Test system. WARNING The use of accessories and cables other than those specified in the Philips ST80i Stress Test system service and user documentation can result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system. ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use E-9 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) WARNING The ST80i Stress Test system should not be used next to or stacked on top of other equipment. If you must stack the product, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before the product is used. WARNING Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ST80i system including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result. Note:
The EMISSIONS characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential area
(for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required), this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or reorienting the equipment. Accessories and Cables Warning The use of accessories and cables other than those specified in Appendix D, Ordering Options and Parts, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the ST80i Stress Test System. Use only a shielded LAN cable when connecting the cable to the ST80i LAN port. Use only an RS-232 cable to connect the ST80i system to treadmills, ergometers, or NIBP devices such as the SunTech Tango M2. Use of USB cables for these devices is not recommended and could result in abnormal operation of ST80i due to electromagnetic noise interference Reducing Electromagnetic Interference The ST80i Stress Test system and accessories may become sensitive to interference from other RF energy sources including power lines. RF energy sources include other medical devices, wireless devices, information technology equipment, and radio/television transmission. Should interference be encountered, as demonstrated by artifact on the ECG trace, unintended change on operating state, or unit lockup, attempt to locate the source by assessing:
E-10 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) If the interference is intermittent or constant?
Does the interference occur only in certain locations?
Does the interference occur only when in close proximity to certain medical devices?
Does the ECG signal quality change dramatically when the AC power cord is unplugged?
Once the source of the interference is located, attempt to attenuate the EMC coupling path by distancing the ST80i from the source of the interference as much as possible. If further assistance is needed, contact the Philips Response Center or your certified dealer. The ST80i Stress Test system has been evaluated in the Electromagnetic Environment listed in tables E-6 to E-11 based on Medical Collateral standard IEC 60601-1-2:2020.
