Angio Imaging with stress support ultrasound

Tailored for medical professionals engaged in echocardiographic research, the Angio imaging with stress support ultrasound is meticulously crafted to elevate your echocardiographic studies. Boasting an electronically adjustable slope (transversal, 45º), this innovative table ensures the heart assumes an optimal position during imaging sessions. Notably, a removable segment of the back support enhances visualization of the heart from its posterior position.

To enhance patient comfort during exercise, the table offers adjustable shoulder and hip support. This combination creates an environment where subjects can undergo the assessment with utmost ease. This multifaceted solution isn’t restricted to a single posture. Whether your research entails supine or seated positions, this stress support setup accommodates a range of cardiologic exercise investigations.

Conducting research procedures is made seamless with the ability to position yourself beside the test subject. Furthermore, practicality is at the core of this design. The table comes equipped with a hassle-free transport tool, simplifying the process of moving the equipment to your desired location.

A 115-volt version is also available, with the same specifications and information as listed on this page. Learn more here.

Reliable and reproducible stress tests

The experience of professionals who calibrate many ergometers showed that the Lode ergometers are the most reliable across the complete workload and rpm range and still within specifications even after many years of intensive use.

Exercise instead of medicine

When a test subject is able to do exercise, it is always recommended above pharmacologic stress. It allows objective measurement in either level of cardiac conditioning and/or level of cardiac work. It is safe and perfectly reproducible.

High standards

Lode is a socially and environmentally responsible company. All Lode products are RoHS/WEEE compliant and Lode is ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 13485:2016 certified. All medical products comply to MDD 93/42/EEC, incl. IEC 60601-1.

Multifunctional

The ergometer can be used in various ergometry settings, enabling a multifunctional deployment.

Product features

Extreme low start up load

The extreme low start-up load of 7 watts and the adjustability in small steps of 1 watt make this ergometer perfectly suitable for many different applications. The standard control unit shows multiple ergometry parameters and you can determine your specific default setting and start-up menu.

Small adjustment steps

The workload of the Lode ergometers is adjustable in steps of only 1 watt. Depending on your wishes, the test operator or the test subject can adjust the workload. The steps of 1 watt are possible in the manual mode as well as within protocols.

Accurate over a long period of time

The Lode ergometers are supplied with an electro-magnetic braking mechanism of Lanooy (eddy current). The biggest advantage of this braking system compared to a friction braking system is the absolute accuracy and the accuracy over time. Moreover, friction braking systems have more wearing parts.

Compatible with ECG and pulmonary devices

The Lode ergometers have digital interfaces and can be controlled easily by all known stress ECG and pulmonary devices available in the world. This is one of the reasons why the Lode ergometers are very popular worldwide.

No pharmalogical stress needed

No pharmalogical stress needed during Echo Stress Test

Service friendly ergometer

Lode ergometers are very service friendly. In general, total costs for spare parts are so low that they are negligible. Furthermore, most options are so easy to install and firmware is so easy to update that labor costs are minimal. Moreover, the ergometer can be cleaned easily.

Additional features with PCU

Besides the possibility to program 24 protocols easily, this control unit offers the following features:

Better monitoring because of the additional and larger display
A perfect combination with BPM
Possibility to measure SpO2

Versatile Interfacing

Various interface protocols guarantee perfect communication with all commonly known stress ECG and spirometry equipment

Stable pedals

This product is standard supplied with stable pedal shoes for foot fixation to enable reclined pedaling.

Tailoring the Angio Imaging ergometer to your needs

Extend the capabilities of the Angio Imaging Ergometer with a range of optional accessories designed to enrich your cardiovascular assessments. Seamlessly work with external blood pressure monitoring for a comprehensive view of hemodynamic responses, allowing for a more complete understanding of cardiovascular performance. Also, opt for SpO2 monitoring to gain insights into oxygen saturation levels, providing invaluable information about oxygen delivery and utilization.

Opting for the usability pack for a program function on the 7” control unit, strategically placed on the side for convenient access by medical professionals overseeing the Angio and initiating specific protocols. Additionally, the pack includes a secondary 3.5” display positioned on the Angio imaging with stress support ultrasound, allowing patients to monitor their rotations per minute (RPM).

These optional accessories augment the ergometer’s functionality, enabling you to customize your research setup to match the specific demands of your studies. With these add-ons, the Angio Imaging Ergometer becomes an even more indispensable tool for your cardiovascular investigations.

Embracing physical activity as a therapeutic approach

Opting for exercise over pharmaceutical stress presents a sensible choice, consistently endorsed for its benefits. This approach offers the advantage of cardio measurements, accommodating various levels of cardiac conditioning and workload. Its inherent safety and remarkable reproducibility by being so accurate the Angio further underlines its reliability, making it a cornerstone in comprehensive cardiovascular assessments. By integrating exercise as a fundamental component, practitioners can harness its potential to gather valuable insights, fostering a complete understanding of cardiac health and performance.
