Introduction:

The article discribes the Workflow and the configuration from the file-Interface for cardio pulmonary exercise Testing.

Custo diagnostic is always master and the Spirosystem slave. That means: This spirosystem can only be controlled by custo diagnostic!!

Manufacturer which support this interface

Viasys

SensorMedics

Jäger

CareFusion

Ganshorn

Connection about shared File "ergospir.dat"

diag writes the  parameters every 5 seconds during the spiroergometry exam Text-file c:\\temp\ergospir.dat.

The path is configurable.

Configuration diag

diag > Settings > System (1)> System (2)> Workstation (3) >cardio pulmonary exercise Testing = for example: Ganshorn (LF8.5G) (4)

file "ergospir.dat"

diag writes a text file every 5 seconds. with the current ergometry data.

Path

c:\\temp\ergospir.dat

The path is configurable in the win.ini file in the Windows directory:

[CAS_RECORD]

SpiroDirectory=C:\\Temp

Content of the file

Example file:

[exer   25 W    0 %   75    0 -999 -999 -999  -12 -999 -999]11232

1. always an open square bracket
2. Phase, one of the following strings (in brackets stands the meaning):
   chck
   base

   exer (start examination)
   reco (cool down)
   stop
3. load values

   Speed [km/h]
   Sign: K
   Inclination
   Sign: %
   by Ergometer:
   Load
   Sign: W
   Sign: 0
   Sign: %
4. Heart rate
5. always 0
6. always-999
7. Systole, if not available -999

9. ST-Value
10. always -999
11. alwaya -999
12. always a closed square bracket
13. Checksum from the previous values

Workflow:

1. Start the Spirosystem firstly and then 
2. Start custo diagnostic Project: "cardio pulmonary exercise Testing."
3. available the Patient, Profile and click start 
4. When switching to the Monitoring page in custo diagnostic, the patient data become now transferred to the Spirosystem
5. Start the exercise Testing in custo diagnostic
