Ending the Exercise Phase

The protocol determines the number of exercise stages as well as their duration. Once the final
stage is complete, the application automatically moves into the Recovery phase.
During the final stage, you can end the exercise stress test and move directly to Recovery by
clicking the button on the Procedure bar.
Advance
Generally, you terminate the Exercise phase when the patient reaches a percentage of their
target heart rate. The clinician determines the end point according to patient's status and many
patients never reach 100%. The target heart rate is pre-configured in the user profile.
If the reading reaches 100% of the target heart rate, the graph indicator color changes from
aqua to red.

Recovery Phase

When the last stage of the Exercise phase is complete, ST80i automatically moves into the
Recovery phase. The Recovery phase is preset under Exercise Protocols to run for 3 minutes at
a maximum speed of 1.5 mph with an elevation of 0%.
See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide for Exercise Protocol settings.
When the patient has completed the Exercise phase or the test has been discontinued (as
documented in "Reason to End" in the Summary), the exercise stress test enters the Recovery
