Important Patient and Safety InformationST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use vTo maintain designed operator and patient safety when assembling a medical electrical system for use in the patient environment, the responsible organization shall ensure that peripheral equipment and accessories used that can come in direct patient contact must comply with the following standards:– IEC 60601-1-1:2000 aka CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.60601-1-1:02– EN 60601-1-2:2001 (all parts and particularly clause 19), titled, “Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-1: General requirements for safety - Collateral Standard: Safety requirements for medical electrical systems”– EN 60601-1:2006 (clause 16 and particularly clause 16.6), titled, “Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance”Connecting multiple medical electrical instruments to the same patient may pose a safety hazard due to the summation of leakage currents. Any combination of medical electrical instruments should be evaluated by local safety personnel before being put into service. For equipment not certified to medical electrical equipment standards that may be used within the patient vicinity, an appropriately rated isolation transformer is required.Do not connect to the system any items which are not specified as part of the system.The PC, LCD, thermal printer, and desk light, purchased as part of a complete system must be plugged into the medical-grade isolation transformer provided with ST80i.Plug all accessories used with ST80i into the medical-grade isolation transformer provided as part of the “software-only” solution.Do not connect additional Multiple Portable Socket-Outlets (MPSOs) or extension cords to the system.The ST80i USB and RS-232 ports should be connected only to treadmills, ergometers, and NIBP monitors that are certified to meet IEC 60601-1 and are listed as supported devices in the Instructions for Use. See See “Supported Treadmills and Ergometers” on page 7. of Appendix E, “Specifications and Requirements”.The performance and safety of the ST80i System cannot be guaranteed if you use non-compatible accessories.Only computers, monitors, and printers approved by a National Certification Body (NCB) or a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) to IEC 60950-1 shall be connected to the ST80i system. All computer, monitor and printer outputs shall comply with IEC 60950-1 limited power source requirements.The use of ST80i with equipment (electrosurgical equipment and some respiration transducers) that applies high frequency voltage to a patient is not supported and may produce undesired outputs.To prevent burns to the patient, remove all ECG electrodes and lead wires prior to the use of high frequency surgical equipment (including electrosurgical equipment and some respiration transducers).Only install Philips software on the ST80i System. The installation or use of software, security patches, or updates not approved by Philips is strictly prohibited and system safety and performance are not guaranteed.
Safety Summaryvi ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseUse only shielded LAN cable when connecting the cable to the ST80i LAN port.Use Philips-approved lead wires with defibrillator protection resistors.To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with the wireless PIM or lead wires. Additionally, proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes is required to minimize harm to the patient.Do not contact floating electrodes during defibrillation, and avoid touching the lead wires or conductive surfaces on the trolley during defibrillation.Conductive parts of the patient lead wires, electrodes, and associated Type CF connections, should not come into contact with other conductive parts, including earth ground.Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used. Check lead wires, the cable between the PC and the treadmill, the cable between the PC and the NIBP module, the AC adapter, and power cords daily for any worn or cracked insulation to ensure that no inner conductive material is exposed. Discard worn accessories and replace them only with Philips accessories.The ST80i System should only use grounded power cords (three-wire power cords with grounded plugs) and connect to grounded electrical outlets that are labeled as “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade.” Never adapt a grounded plug to fit an ungrounded outlet by removing the ground prong.EMI generated by the ST80i System may cause nearby equipment to fail.Short-range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices, and DECT phones. Outside the frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according to IEC 60601-1-2, the short-range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended period. Any interruption of the signal due to interference, moving out of range, or for other reasons is indicated via an RF signal status indicator on both the PIM as well as on the main screen. If your system includes the trolley, ensure that components are installed securely and that no items are placed on the trolley that could cause the trolley to become unstable.The maximum weight to be placed on the optional shelf for a laser printer is 45 pounds.If your system includes the trolley, always lock the wheel brake when the trolley is not in motion. Press down on the brake tab to set the brake and lift up on the tab to release the brake.Safe removal of the all-in-one display from the trolley requires two people.Placing or spilling liquids on the trolley may cause electrical safety hazards and/or system malfunction.Allow the patient to move freely by:
Important Patient and Safety InformationST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use vii– 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 patient’s feet before beginning exercise stageThe ST80i captures and presents data reflecting a patient’s 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 patient’s diagnosis.Both analog ECG output and TTL sync output are not in real time: there is a delay between the patient’s 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 user’s 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 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 vendor’s stress system.“Simulated ECG” mode must be turned off when testing patients.If the “Stop Treadmill” GUI button does not respond for any reason, immediately press the red “Emergency” button on the treadmill handrail.The interpretive algorithm has been validated only with “standard” lead placement. If the patient data is found to be incorrect, you may edit the ECG file and can print a new report. Entering incorrect NIBP data can cause errors for NIBP-related parameters in reports.Caution Statements for the ST80i SystemCAUTION Caution statements describe conditions or actions that may result in damage to equipment or software.The Multiple Portable Socket-Outlet (MPSO) provided with the system shall only be used for powering equipment which forms part of the system.Do not pull or stretch patient lead wires as this could result in mechanical and/or electrical failures. Store patient lead wires after forming them into a loose loop.

22-11An Overview of the ST80i Stress TestSystemThe ST80i Stress Test System is used for the acquisition, analysis, and presentation of stress test data during the patient session. The application also controls the peripheral devices such as the treadmill, ergometer, and blood pressure equipment. 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 to gather exercise data for a new exam and lasts through the generation and review of the final report.During the patient session, you can change certain default settings as you proceed through each phase using the Toolbar icons - so that you can view or gather more specific ECG data.

An Overview of the ST80i Stress Test System2-26 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseWhen you record an event, ST80i generates a 12-lead ECG and documents the event name on the ECG. The system also stores the event in memory and will print it in the Rhythm Events portion of the final report. User Notes are also associated with the Event, if created. See “Note” on page 2-28 regarding the Note icon.In addition, ST80i automatically detects an arrhythmia event–if this is enabled. To enable Arrhythmias, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide. See also “Notifications and Alerts” on page 3-36.The default events include:SupineMason-LikarStandingHyperventilationChest PainShort of breathTo record an event1Click the Event button to display the Event drop-down list’Figure 2-4 Event Drop-Down List2Select the event to record from the drop-down list.The system prints an ECG and records the event for the final report.

The RPE scale subjectively rates work (physical exertion) as stated by the exercising patient. It provides a means to quantify a patient's level of exertion. RPE scales can be expressed in two ways, 1 to 10 or 6 to 20. The scale used is associated with the selected user profile. To set the RPE scale, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide. When you want to record an RPE score, ask the patient to state which number or statement represents their perceived level of work. Then select the corresponding number from the drop-down list. Once the number is selected, the system prints an ECG report, noting the RPE. Figure 2-6 RPE Drop-down ListTo record the patient's RPE1Display the RPE drop-down list by clicking the RPE down arrow. 2Select the RPE statement that matches what the patient reports, and click OK.

The Patient Session3-12 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseBefore the Patient SessionThe 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/ergometer), if usedSetting up the Pharma testOnce advance preparation is complete, the patient session follows a series of typical steps - from preparing the patient to the final review of the exam. 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 into the wireless PIM on the other.Figure 3-3 Wireless PIMThe wireless PIM digitizes the ECG signal and down-samples the ECG data before transmitting ECG data to ST80i. The wireless PIM uses high and low pass filters to produce filtered ECG data within certain band. The wireless PIM performs lead signal quality detection to determine if a lead is not connected to patient or electrode/patient contact impedance is excessively high.
Before the Patient SessionST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-13The wireless PIM can also be commanded by the host application to transmit on a user-selected channel to manually override the automatic system driven settings to avoid wireless interference. See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide for information on configuring a wireless channel for communication.The wireless PIM shows the following information: Wireless signal quality indicator: Wireless performance and signal strength are monitored on the currently used RF channel. The wireless PIM’s signal quality icon indicates the connection status. If a channel has excessive interference, the wireless PIM will automatically determine a clearer channel with higher signal strength and coordinate 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 PIM’s power indicator lights within the battery icon. These lights blink every 5 seconds when the PIM is in use.In addition, when all patient leads are being connected prior to a test, a low-battery alert warns if there is not enough capacity in the battery to complete test. ST80i also provides an audible and visual alert on the application screen as a warning that the battery is discharged to the point where PIM is expected to shut down shortly. 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 only supports 1.5V AA alkaline batteries for the PIM. Replace the battery if a low-battery alert appears before the stress test starts.CAUTION If you use off-the-shelf rechargeable AA-size batteries, the remaining capacity indication may be inaccurate. CAUTION If you use OTS rechargeable batteries, you will need to provide a compatible recharger unit for their batteries that is independent of the ST80i. To ensure safe use and adequate maintenance of rechargeable batteries, follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for use.
The Patient Session3-14 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseWhen using the wireless PIM, refer to the ST80i Wireless Patient Interface Module Instructions for Use for details on its preparation, configuration, and use.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 the address on the device with the address that shows up on the Pre Exercise screen.To preconfigure multiple PIM addresses, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide.Checking the Treadmill/Ergometer ConnectionDuring the entire stress test, the host-side application validates the response from treadmill/ergometer to ensure the communication between PC and treadmill/ergometer is successful.

The Patient Session3-16 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseSelect the Wireless PIMThe wireless PIM contains a power on/power off button. Before connecting a patient to the PIM, check the battery status and the wireless signal quality. You will also need to confirm that you are using the right PIM by checking the PIM address.By default, you will see PIM1 as the first device on the Pre Exercise 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 will appear as named during preconfiguration.To select the wireless PIM1Click the PIM drop-down menu.2Click the PIM device to be used (by name).3To ensure a correct match, confirm the unique address on the wireless device with the one you have selected on the Pre Exercise screen.4Press the PIM button on the device to power it on (if it is powered off).The PIM wireless status gives feedback that the PIM is selected to communicate with the application.CAUTION The user should follow the correct procedure to select the PIM when multiple PIMs are detected. To ensure proper wireless function of the PIMPress the PIM’s “light” button to display battery strength.A battery icon on the ST80i exercise screen also shows the remaining capacity of the wireless PIM battery.ST80i also provides an audible and visual alert on the application screen as a warning that battery is discharged to the point where PIM is expected to shut down shortly. NOTE To save the battery power, the PIM can be preconfigured to power off automatically when there is no action on the PIM for a predefined period. To preconfigure PIM Power Saving, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide.
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-17Preparing the PatientGood ECG technique is very important to achieve the best quality results.Instructing the Patient about the TestBefore attaching the electrodes, greet the patient and explain the procedure. Explaining the procedure decreases anxiety and informs the patient about what to expect. You may also click the Explain Test button on the Main screen to play an audio file that explains the test to the patient.NOTE ST80i ships with a default audio file that explains the exercise stress test; however, you may 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 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.Make sure the patient is comfortable. The patient’s arms and hands must be relaxed.Instruct the patient to rest their hands on the handrails and not grasp the handrails tightly.The more relaxed the patient is, the less the ECG will be affected by noise.
The Patient Session3-18 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UsePreparing the SkinThorough 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, dead epidermal cells, oils, and dirt. To prepare the skin1Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection.2Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.NOTE Do not use alcohol to clean the skin.3Dry the skin vigorously with a gauze pad to increase capillary blood flow to the tissues and to remove the dead, dry skin cells and oil.4Use an abrading pad to lightly scratch an “X” pattern into the skin, taking care to avoid excessive abrading. Attaching the Electrodes/Lead WiresPlacement of the electrodes changes depending on the stage:Supine for a resting or baseline ECGStanding for Exercise PhaseST80i 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]Left Leg [LL/F]Right Arm [RA/R]Left Arm [LA/L]Chest leads [V1/C1, V2/C2, V3/C3, V4/C4, V5/C5, and V6/C6]
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-19All leads are acquired simultaneously. Review the following lead wire labeling and electrode placement information in Figure 3-5 and Table 3-1 to ensure a quality ECG.Figure 3-5 12-Lead Electrode Placement (AAMI/IEC)Table 3-1 Leads and positioningAAMI Lead IEC Lead Electrode PositionRight side of the sternum in the 4th intercostal spaceLeft side of the sternum in the 4th intercostal spaceMidway between V2 and V4Left midclavicular line in the 5th intercostal spaceBetween V4 and V65th intercostal space, left midaxillaryV3/C3RL/NRA/RV1/C1V2/C2V4/C4V5/C5V6/C6LA/LLL/F
The Patient Session3-20 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseTo attach the electrodes to the patient1Place the gel area of the electrode over the center of the prepared area, using the positioning described in Table 3-1 and illustrated in Figure 3-5; 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 is typically placed on the sternum midway between the arm leads and V1 and V2 leads.– The Left Leg lead should be placed on a rib, below V6 by about 2 fingers, in the lower left area of the patient’s chest (avoiding flabby areas and the belt). This may need adjustment depending on body habits.2Ensure 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.3Have the patient raise their arms over their head. This will help verify good lead placement and no strain on the electrodes.Place the limb electrodes for the arm directly on the clavicle bones (away from major muscles)Below V6 on the ribcageOn the sternum, midway between the clavicle and the 4th intercostal spaceTable 3-1 Leads and positioningAAMI Lead IEC Lead Electrode Position

Refer to the ST80i Wireless Patient Module Instructions for Use for details on its preparation, configuration, and use.To connect the patient to the wireless PIM1Plug the lead set connector into the mating connector on the wireless PIM.Ensure that lead wires do not bump or rub against anything.2Place the wireless PIM into the PIM holder. The PIM holder is designed to keep the PIM steady, thereby minimizing movement of the lead wires and ECG signal artifacts. The PIM holder is adjustable up to a patient waist size of 57".Wireless PIM Button FunctionsThe wireless PIM has one button that you can use to:
The Patient Session3-22 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UsePower on/off the PIMCheck PIM battery status, wireless link quality, and lead contact qualityWhen requested to check battery status, the wireless PIM will provide indication of estimated battery power remaining.When requested to check status of connection to the host system, the wireless PIM will indicate relative signal strength based on the measured signal quality for the link to the host receiver.When requested to check lead/electrode connections, the wireless PIM will indicate “Poor Lead Signal Quality” condition for any patient electrode connection where the measured impedance is considered excessively high for good quality, low noise ECG measurements. You are able to check the lead signal quality of lead connections while hooking up and preparing patient in an area outside of the range of the system’s radio connection.
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-23Checking the Lead MapTo check the Lead MapSelect Show Lead Map from the Hide/Show View icon on the Pre Exercise or Exercise screen. A color-coded anatomical diagram displays the lead connections.Figure 3-6 Lead ConnectionsIf a lead is off, a red “X” is displayed on the lead map and red, dashed flat line is displayed in the real-time ECG view. On the PIM, this condition is verified by a yellow LED light.For more details on checking the lead quality connection, see “About the Lead Map” on page 2-19.For more details about adjusting the filter, see “Gear (Quick Settings)” on page 2-30.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 possibility of leads-off condition occurring.Checking Signal QualityST80i 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 lead-off condition will be saved with the data and will be indicated on any printed reports which contain that data.The waveform appears on the real-time display as green. When a lead-off condition is detected, the corresponding lead(s) will be indicated on the real-time display as a red dashed line; when printed, this will also appear as a dashed line.
The Patient Session3-24 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseFigure 3-7 Red Dashed Line Showing Leads-Off Condition for V4ST80i will also provide an indication to the operator when the front-end is inoperative and cannot acquire signal. The indications are lead-off on all leads and the wireless signal quality indicator lights. This condition will be saved with the data and will be indicated on any printed reports which contain that data.Figure 3-8 Faulty Lead Display Example (V1)If the screen shows one or more faulty lead connections, re-prep the patient (page 3-17) and replace the electrodes (page 3-18), as necessary, until the display shows satisfactory tracings.
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-25FilteringWhen 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.The smart filter can be enabled or disabled through the Config screen User Profile tab’s Filters button. The same filter settings apply to both displayed and printed waveforms. The filter settings are printed with the report.The filtering techniques developed for ST80i permit the user to identify any clinically significant ST deviation and will 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. The ECG data is stored in its unfiltered state (0.02 – 300Hz, all filters off) and user-selected settings are stored with the ECG.NOTES The ECG data is filtered at 0.05-150Hz before being analyzed by the algorithm. This filter is called the algorithm filter and cannot be turned off by user. The algorithm filter is independent from other filters and is neither controlled by the user nor affects the saved ECG data. All filters can be turned on or off as needed to improve signal quality except for the algorithm filter (as described above) and minimum filters (0.02Hz high pass filter and 300Hz low pass filter). If needed, you can change the default filter settings. For details on filter settings, see “Gear (Quick Settings)” on page 2-30.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.ST80i also supports the TTL and Analog output options, which allow selectable ECG signals to be sent to Echo system, NIBP and/or SpO2 for further clinical analysis.The analog-out signals are amplified.TTL/Analog Output Option:Specifying the Sync Lead– User can select the ECG lead used for the TTL/Analog Output.
The Patient Session3-26 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseThe 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 “Gear (Quick Settings)” on page 2-30.To configure Analog and TTL Output, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide.WARNING Both analog ECG output and TTL sync output are not in real time: there is a delay between the patient’s physiological activity and the appearance of its representative signal at the external port. This signal should not be used for analysis.NOTES ST80i monitors interference and signal strength and automatically selects a clearer frequency band when excessive interference exists.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.
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-27Pre Exercise PhaseThe Pre Exercise phase is used to start the patient on the treadmill or the ergometer. The phase is preset to run for 3 minutes with the speed setting on 01:00 and the elevation is set at 0%.Figure 3-9 Treadmill Speed and GradeNote that the Pre Exercise time is separate from the Exercise time.Before the Pre Exercise phase begins with the patient on the treadmill, the following steps are recommended:Baseline ECG (resting or standing)Baseline Blood Pressure - manual or NIBPBaseline Sp02 Static ECG Resting Interpretation Once the waveforms are satisfactory, you are ready to acquire a baseline (resting or standing) ECG. ST80i allows you to acquire and print a 12-lead resting ECG with or without interpretation when the patient is supine or when using the Mason-Likar lead placement. This data will appear as part of the Final ECG Report.ST80i will provide resting ECG interpretation for all available lead configurations, using the latest Philips DXL algorithm at resting ECG for traditional limb lead placement as well as Mason Likar.WARNING To get the most accurate interpretation during resting ECG, use traditional limb lead placement.When the algorithm finds excessive artifact or AC noise, it will give a related warning/error string. The string will be printed on the report and be saved when saving the report. The algorithm also reports wrong lead placement.See “Filtering” on page 3-25 regarding artifact or AC noise.

Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-29NIBP & SpO2ST80i supports optional SpO2 and motion-tolerant Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) devices. ST80i automatically collects the NIBP through a cuff. The patient’s SpO2 is collected in real-time through a sensor.NIBP 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.During the stress test, NIBP and SpO2 are measured according to the intervals defined in the exercise protocol and are continually displayed on the screen. This will be recorded in the BPmmhg field in the Side Panel and also on the ECG. The SpO2 measurement will also be recorded in the Side Panel in the SpO2 field.If enabled, there are also audible prompts for NIBP and SpO2. To enable audio prompts, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide.To connect the patient to the NIBP device1Place the cuff on the patient.2Take a pre-stress NIBP connection test to determine if the cuff is correctly placed on the patient and to ensure NIBP measurements throughout the stress test. To connect the patient to an SpO2 sensorPlace the SpO2 sensor on the patient’s finger. connection test. The screen should display an SpO2 value.Override NIBP and SpO2When 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 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 override the values of NIBP and SpO2, they will be displayed in the Stage Report and the Final Stress Report. NOTE Once the NIBP or SpO2 is manually overwritten, ST80i no longer updates the real-time NIBP or SpO2 values from the NIBP monitor.

After taking the baseline measurements, you are now ready to instruct the patient in the proper use of the equipment.Starting the Patient on the Treadmill or ErgometerThe start and stop control for the treadmill or ergometer appears in the side panel. There is also a start and stop button on the treadmill. You can also manually control the speed and grade of the treadmill during any stage in the Exercise test. See “Controlling the Treadmill or Ergometer” on page 3-35.To start the patient on the treadmill1Show the patient the location of the emergency stop button. 2Have the patient straddle the belt.3In the ST80i application, click Start Treadmill.This button changes to Stop Treadmill.The treadmill starts at the preselected speed and elevation set for the protocol.
Preparing the PatientST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 3-314Allow the patient to get 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 begin the Exercise phaseClick the Exercise button on the Procedure bar.The Exercise screen is displayed.Exercise Phase At the start of an exercise stress test, CAlg has a “Learning Phase” where 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 will automatically detect a new dominant morphology and build 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: 12 leads6x2 leads6 leads3 leadsYou can start the Exercise phase of the test at any time; however, a warning message will be popped up if not all 12 leads ST value is gotten from the algorithm. 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.
The Patient Session3-32 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseFigure 3-10 Exercise ScreenThe 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 Advance button on the Procedure bar. This starts a new stage and a new stage time, but the exercise time continues to build.If the patient can no longer continue exercising, you can end the Exercise phase of the stress test by selecting Recovery (or by pressing the Stop Treadmill button if necessary). The Recovery phase is preset to slow down the treadmill and lower the elevation.Monitoring the PatientDuring 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, 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 3-35.You can change the display parameters, as needed during the Exercise phase.

They include:Pre Exercise PhaseExercise PhaseRecovery (and Post-Recovery) PhaseReport PhaseThe Final Stress Report includes the patient information summary, trends, average QRS, resting ECG results and events. ST80i allows you to choose several individual reports to include in the Final Stress Report. The composition of a stress report may or may not include the following: Patient ID ReportSummary ReportTrends ReportAverage QRS Report12-Lead ECG ReportRhythm Events ReportST AnalysisInterpretationMeasurementsAfter finishing the data acquisition, stress testing enters the report-generating phase. Once signed by a cardiologist or clinician, the report is finalized.After a stress test procedure, you work from the Report screen to review, update, and save the data for the Final Stress Report. When the report is satisfactory, you can print the individual reports on a laser printer or directly to a thermal printer when printing from ST80i. Data from the Recovery phase is included as part of the final report. In the Post-Recovery phase, the data will not be saved unless an event is triggered. If so, only the event data is saved as part of the final report. WARNING ECG signals printed on a laser report should not be used to make time-sensitive measurements directly from the printed page. NOTE The Final Stress Report cannot be saved without patient demographics.

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 change and 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 system fails to provide a notification. It is expected that only properly trained health care professionals working directly under the supervision of a qualified physician will be operating the ST80i Stress Test System during testing. Resting ECG ReportResting ECG measurement and interpretation are included as part of a 12-Lead ECG Report. The 12-Lead ECG is printed according to the user profile settings. A Resting ECG is printed at the beginning of each exercise stress test and is then printed in the Final Stress Report. The Resting ECG tab shows a report of the resting ECG. At the top part of the report, patient data as well as ECG data appears with interpretation. Before the formal stress testing starts, or after the stress testing is complete, you can print a 12-Lead Resting ECG report.The waveform area captures the ECG during the resting or supine stage during the Pre-Exercise phase. The report is labeled “Supine” or “Mason-Likar.”The report includes:Patient Demographic DataStudy InformationInterpretation of 12-Lead ECG Report12x1, 6x2, 3x4, 3x4 3R display CAUTION Specific patient data is required for each interpretation. If entered data are found to be incorrect, the ECG file may be edited and a new display/report can be printed.You can configure mandatory patient information fields in system configuration. When these mandatory fields are missing, you will be warned with a pop-up message box. If these fields are changed, a warning message pops up and the resting ECG will be re-interpreted.On this screen, you can scroll through the images on the screen using the right and left arrows.

When an exercise stress test is complete or the stress test ended for some reason, the raw data and metadata with the accompanying stress report is automatically saved into the local database. Once a stress report is modified and saved, it overwrites the raw data and metadata in the system database. However, the raw data will always be saved into the database as HIPPA compliant. A stress test is listed on the Archive screen in the stress system database as soon as the test is completed, even if you have not yet saved it. You will see that status listed as “Incomplete” in the Select Archive from List screen by clicking Report on the Main screen. You will also see the status as “Incomplete” on the Procedure bar.When you finish updating and reviewing the report data, you can save the Final Stress Report to the stress system database.

Working with Archived ReportsST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 4-37Figure 4-17 Select Archive From List ScreenDatabase ConfigurationST80i consists of two major components: Client side – provides the clinical interface to the patient and user interface to the technician. It handles the patient's data acquisition, stress procedure workflow, data analysis, stress report presentation and raw data storage.Server side – provides data storage and retrieval for the stress final reports in PDF format. The server side also provides support for workflow, audit/tracking, and user authentication / authorization (deferred). The Client and Server components may be co-located on the same physical PC, or may be installed on separate PC platforms.In each mode, the data store limit is determined by the storage capacity of the hard disk. See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide regarding database storage on networked devices.Depending on your facility's network configuration, ST80i can either work as a single, stand-alone device or as a set of multiple, connected devices. As a stand-alone device, ST80i provides basic server functions to perform a stress test, such as user security, configuration management, and ECG data storage. NOTE All reports (including unconfirmed/non-finalized reports) should be maintained in the Archive.
Working with Reports4-38 ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for UseSTAND-ALONE DEVICEIf you are using a stand-alone device with built-in stress study database deployment, all exercise stress test reports will be permanently stored in the device database archive.

ST80i’s Trinity Support allows for export of ECG data in ST80i format for inclusion in a combined Stress/Echo image report. The folders used for raw data sharing with Trinity for Q-Station, need to be locked down by appropriate folder permissions on the shared drive.See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide for how to create folder permissions to protect data.To export a final stress report 1Click the Confirm button.2Fill in your User Name and Password3Click OK.NOTE A stress study report cannot be confirmed or exported to TMVue if its required patient fields are not complete. External Storage of Stress Study dataIf you have administrator access, you can copy stress study data from the Report database and move the information to an external storage location (such as removable hard disk and USB stick).
Exporting Reports (Export Exam)ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use 4-45ST80i provides an indication that the stress data has been copied to an external location. Once the Stress study data has been copied/moved to an external location, it may be deleted if desired. If deleted, a pointer will remain in the stress study database indicating that the data had been moved to external storage. An alert indicates the exporting status, i.e. success or failure. If failure, the error code should be also provided.In addition to local storage, you can configure archived stress tests in multiple networked locations. On a stand-alone single device with built-in stress study database deployment, all stress test reports are permanently stored in the device database archive. ECG Export Destination SitesYou may select the destination site from a list of preconfigured sites. Each preconfigured site includes the following information: Site label (user-defined)If the site is on a network, address and other connection details (URL, node number, etc.)The following remote system types are supported:– TraceMasterVue–ECG GatewayOnce the connection is established, all selected ECGs are transferred to the remote site. After each ECG has been successfully transmitted, the information is logged. If the connection fails, the operator is given an alert. No attempt is made to automatically retry the operation. A maximum of 100 Remote Sites profiles can be created without noticeable performance degradation when switching screens. To create remote sites, see the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide.
