About the Philips ST80i Stress Test
1
The Philips ST80i Stress Test System is a PC-based diagnostic tool for use in the exercise
stress testing laboratory. Electrocardiographic data obtained during stress testing is acquired,
processed, recorded, analyzed, archived, and exported. The ST80i software creates summary
tables, identifies trends, and generates a final statistical report, which trained clinicians review
to assist in the diagnosis of the patient's condition.
The ST80i System interfaces to, and controls, a compatible treadmill or ergometer and non-
invasive blood pressure monitor. It can also be used with the pharmacological form of testing.
The TTL and analog output options allow a selectable ECG signal to be sent to an Echo
system for further tests.
