The sana cardio 1000 is based on the technology of the couch/semi-couch safety ergometer sana couch 1000. An additional rotation axis of the couch to the right allows the patient being turned during stress to a left-side position to max. 30°. This position is especially suited for high-quality ultrasound images during a stress echo examination. A hip belt and a stable shoulder support grant the patient's safety and comfortable position whilst the couch is turned to its side.
Besides this special application, the ergometer can, of course, also be used as a normal couch/semi-couch safety ergometer. Special safety aspects, e.g. in cases of suspected cardiovascular disorders, stress tests after a cardiac infarction or after bypass operation, and special exercise ergometry applications, such as heart catheter examinations, require the use of this ergometer. The use of a stress echo couch is also recommended for the examination of elderly and disabled patients.

Infinite movability and adjustability via remote control
Thanks to the infinite movability of the couch (0-45°), it is possible to find the ideal lying position for every patient and examination method. In case of incident, the patient can be moved immediately into a suitable treatment position. The patient's calm position enables high-quality ECG presentation and blood pressure measurements. The height is fixed by means of an adjustable saddle, which also prevents the patient from sliding to the side. The patient's comfort is increased by a headrest. Both elements as well as the couch's slope can be adjusted via remote control.
