Tell SP to grasp the front handrail and warn that the treadmill is about to stop.
“Press STOP BELT on treadmill controller. Congratulations, you have completed the
test.”
Press STOP BELT as directed.
3.9.1 1 End of Test
Assist the SP off the treadmill. It is normal to feel as if you are still moving, especially if you
are not accustomed to walking on a treadmill. Remove BP cuff, disconnect the leads, and ask the SP to
remove and dispose of the electrodes.
3.10 Procedure if Values Exceed Criteria
The system has the following edit limits set on these measurements:
HR Stage 1 > 80 percent PMHR AND SP is exhausted and unable to continue.
HR Stage 2 > 8 5 percent PMHR (>90% for 1 2 through 18 years AND SP is
exhausted and unable to continue.)
HR Warm-up, Stage 1 or Stage 2 > 100%.
SBP > 260 mmHg
DBP > 115 mmHg
RPE > 17 (See below “Exception for RPE greater than 17 at end of Stage 2.”)
If one or more of these measurements are above the acceptable criteria, the system
will display a message:
“Check message on monitor.”
The system will then display a message “(Data item) is not within the acceptable
limits. Go to Recovery.”
Press the ‘Go to Recovery’ button.
