With ergometers typically the workload (watt) is imposed. This product is designed both for manual operation and for control by external equipment and has the ability to measure patient parameters such as non-invasive blood pressure or blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, heart rate, RPM and power output. The ergometer is used in exercise testing and may also be used for rehabilitation or active aging therapy. The device has to be operated under the supervision of well-trained medical specialists in the field of use.
