Original Press Release:
Pediatric Ergometer for Exercise Stress Testing
The pediatric Ergometer offers adjustable handle bar height, saddle height and adjustable length pedal cranks in the pediatric range and is suitable for children from age 6 and older. It is a reliable, solidly constructed ergometer that includes an accurate earlobe pulse sensor. Electro-magnetic braking provides smooth pedaling with accurate resistance calibration to 200 watts. In the isopower mode the workload remains constant independent of pedal speed.
Options include "TurboFit" Windows software for computer control of ergometer and recording of test data, including elapsed time, watts, heart rate, rpm, distance and estimated VO2.
A digital display panel shows Pulse Rate, Pedal Cadence, Exercise Time, estimated Calorie Consumption and workload in torque and watts.
The distance from the lowest setting of the standard saddle to the hub of the cranks is 45cm. Workload can be adjusted manually, via computer with the optional RS232 interface or via pre-programmed training modes for interval training, hill profiles and via "Customized pattern". A printer records 5 key biofeedback functions every 30 seconds - for daily, weekly, and monthly comparisons. It also has an emergency shut-off safety system at upper heart rate limit.
