The sana cardio 1000 is based on the technology of the couch/semi-couch safety ergometer sana couch 1000. An additional rotation axis of the couch to the right allows the patient being turned during stress to a left-side position to max. 30°. This position is especially suited for high-quality ultrasound images during a stress echo examination. A hip belt and a stable shoulder support grant the patient`s safety and comfortable position whilst the couch is turned to its side. Besides this special application, the ergometer can, of course, also be used as a normal couch/semi-couch safety ergometer. Special safety aspects, e.g. in cases of suspected cardiovascular disorders, stress tests after a cardiac infarction or after bypass operation, and special exercise ergometry applications, such as heart catheter examinations, require the use of this ergometer. The use of a stress echo couch is also recommended for the examination of elderly and disabled patients.

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.

The sana couch 250 L couch/semi-couch safety ergometer has been developed for use in the cardiology sector. Special safety aspects, e.g. in cases of suspcted cardiovascular disorders, stress test after a cardiac infarction or after bypass operations, and special exercise ergometry applications, such a heart catheter examinations, require the use of a couch/semi-couch safety ergometer. Its use is also recommended for the examination of elderly and disabled patients.
