In the event that patients with communicable diseases use the treadmill, the treadmill must be disinfected at the
discretion of the doctor or medical stuff before and after the treatment. This must also be done when a communicable
disease is merely presumed. This covers all parts the patient may have contacted, such as front and side handrails, arm
support, UserTerminal (keyboard and display), emergency stop, chestbelt or other heart rate measurement systems,
running belt, emergency stop with magnet switch, safety harness for fall stop prevention, vest of unweighting system,

unit must be cleaned as well.
