Description
ERG 911 LS
The Schiller ERG 911 LS Echocouch is a special ergometer for exercise Echocardiography.
Thanks to an additional pivot axis of the Echocouch, the patient can be positioned in an angle of up to 45° to
the left during exercise.
This ensures a particularly favorable position for high-quality ultra-sound images during stress echocardiography. The stable shoulder support ensures a comfortable and safe positioning of the patient while the couch is tilted to the left.
Mobility and Adjustment by remote control
Thanks to the infinite movability of the couch (0-45°), it is possible to find the ideal lying position for every patient and examination method. In case of incident, the patient can be moved immediately into a suitable treatment position. The patient's calm position enables high-quality ECG presentation and blood pressure measurements, if needed.
The speed-independent load is granted by a high-end eddy current brake with computer-controlled torque measurement. This control, together with the ideal centrifugal mass dimensioning, results in a very pleasant pedalling feeling, allowing the patient to fully exploit his or her reserves. The mechanism, consisting of state-of-the art components, runs almost noiseless, even at high speed.

Secure and Patient Comfortable
The Echocouch is designed to ensure patient safety and comfort. The height is fixed by means of an adjustable saddle, which also prevents the patient from sliding to the side. The patient's comfort is increased by a headrest. Both elements as well as the couch's slope can be adjusted via remote control.
The reclining position at 45° is very comfortable. Medical exercise examinations prove that the performance in this position corresponds to the performance on a bicycle ergometer. Unlike with previous couch ergometers, the pedaling motion of the legs is now identical to the movement on a bicycle ergometer. This is due to the unique design of the pedal crankshaft. This feature eliminates all performance-related obstacles in couch-ergometry.

Real Echo-Stress
The advantage of ERG 911 LS Echocouch is the patient’s ideal positioning on the ergometer (45°). In this position, clearer and sharper ultra-sound images of the heart are achieved. This enables practitioners to obtain high-quality ultrasound images during stress echocardiography at peak exercise.
The patient can remain on the ERG 911 LS for a seamless transition from the exercise phase to the recovery phase of the procedure.
The Schiller Echocouch ERG 911 LS is a useful tool for your practice for risk stratification of a patient with known or suspected Coronary Artery Disease and other cardiac diseases.

Application Areas
Apart from the exercise Echocardiography , the ERG 911 LS Echocouch has some other special applications. The ergometer can be used as:
• Normal couch/semi-couch safety ergometer
• Special safety aspects like
· Suspected cardiovascular disorders
· Stress test after a cardiac infarction or bypass surgery
· Special exercise ergometry applications such:
a) Heart catheter examinations
b) Couch/semi-couch safety ergometer
• Recommended for the examination of elderly and disabled patients
