ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Usev
Safety Summary
Use only shielded LAN cable when connecting the cable to the ST80i LAN port.
Use Philips-approved lead wires with defibrillator protection resistors.
To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not
come into contact with the wireless PIM or lead wires. Additionally, proper placement of
defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes is required to minimize harm to the
patient.
Do not contact floating electrodes during defibrillation, and avoid touching the lead wires
or conductive surfaces on the trolley during defibrillation.
Conductive parts of the patient lead wires, electrodes, and associated Type CF
connections, should not come into contact with other conductive parts, including earth
ground.
Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used.
Check lead wires, the cable between the PC and the treadmill, the cable between the PC
and the NIBP module, the AC adapter, and power cords daily for any worn or cracked
insulation to ensure that no inner conductive material is exposed. Discard worn
accessories and replace them only with Philips accessories.
The ST80i System should only use grounded power cords (three-wire power cords with
grounded plugs) and connect to grounded electrical outlets that are labeled as “Hospital
Only” or “Hospital Grade.” Never adapt a grounded plug to fit an ungrounded outlet by
removing the ground prong.
EMI generated by the ST80i System may cause nearby equipment to fail.
Short-range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other
radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices, and DECT phones.
Outside the frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according to
IEC 60601-1-2, the short-range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency
range from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Depending on the strength and duration of the
interference, the interruption may occur for an extended period. Any interruption of the
signal due to interference, moving out of range, or for other reasons is indicated via an RF
signal status indicator on both the PIM as well as on the main screen.
If your system includes the trolley, ensure that components are installed securely and that
no items are placed on the trolley that could cause the trolley to become unstable.
The maximum weight to be placed on the optional shelf for a laser printer is 45 pounds.
If your system includes the trolley, always lock the wheel brake when the trolley is not in
motion. Press down on the brake tab to set the brake and lift up on the tab to release the

viST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use
Important Patient and Safety Information
–taking care when dressing the ECG cables so as to minimize the potential tripping
hazard during the stress ECG study process
–securing the patient lead set, power cable, treadmill cable, echo cable, NIBP cable,
and SpO2 cable away from patient’s feet before beginning exercise stage
The ST80i captures and presents data reflecting a patient’s physiological condition that,
when reviewed by a trained physician or clinician, can be useful in determining a
diagnosis. However, the data should not be used as a sole means for determining a
patient’s diagnosis.
Both analog ECG output and TTL sync output are not in real time: there is a delay
between the patient’s physiological activity and the appearance of its representative signal
at the external port. This signal should not be used for analysis.
To get the most accurate interpretation during resting ECG, use traditional limb lead
placement.
For the user’s convenience only, rhythm change notifications are provided when specific
rhythm changes are detected; however, it is the responsibility of the trained healthcare
professional to determine the type of rhythm change and take appropriate action.
Additionally, the healthcare professional should not assume that all rhythm changes will
be detected, and they are responsible for taking action when rhythm changes are observed
on the displayed waveforms and the system fails to provide a notification. It is expected
that only properly trained healthcare professionals working directly under the supervision
of a qualified physician will be operating the ST80i System during testing.
ST80i cannot import ECGs from another vendor’s stress system.
“Simulated ECG” mode must be turned off when testing patients.
If the “Stop Treadmill” GUI button does not respond for any reason, immediately press the
red “Emergency” button on the treadmill handrail.
The interpretive algorithm has been validated only with “standard” lead placement.
If the patient data is found to be incorrect, you may edit the ECG file and can print a new
report.
Entering incorrect NIBP data can cause errors for NIBP-related parameters in reports.
Caution Statements for the ST80i System
CAUTIONCaution statements describe conditions or actions that may result in damage to equipment or
software.
The Multiple Portable Socket-Outlet (MPSO) provided with the system shall only be used
for powering equipment which forms part of the system.
Do not pull or stretch patient lead wires as this could result in mechanical and/or electrical
failures. Store patient lead wires after forming them into a loose loop.
ST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Usevii

Operating Pressure (altitude):
0 to 3,048 m (10,000 ft) altitude (697 mbar)
Important Notes about the ST80i System
ST80i may become inoperative when the front-end (PIM) signal acquisition is interrupted
due to low PIM battery power, loss of wireless communication between the PIM and the
receiver (AIM), and/or loss of USB communication between the AIM and the host PC.
ST80i displays a lead-off condition for all leads when signal acquisition is lost and
absence of signal strength bars when wireless communication is lost. These inoperative
conditions will be saved and indicated on printed reports.
Power off the system and remove the input AC power cord before installing, repairing, or
servicing any hardware.
Proper patient preparation is important for proper application of ECG electrodes and
operation of the device. Use medical tape to fix the lead wires to the chest in order to help
minimize the strain applied to the electrode connections, thus reducing noise and the
possibility of a leads-off condition.
ST80i automatically prevents connection to a LAN or WLAN while the system is
connected to a patient study.
As defined by IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-25, the device is classified as follows:
viiiST80i Stress Test System Instructions for Use
Important Patient and Safety Information
–Class I equipment
–Type CF applied parts

Safety Summary
Security Recommendations
As more patient health information is collected, stored, and transmitted electronically, on a
global basis, the concern for patient privacy grows. We consider the security and
confidentiality of patient data to be of paramount importance. We adhere to the highest
professional standards focused on providing you with resources aimed at your regulatory
compliance needs and allowing you to fully manage the safety, effectiveness, and security
risks of medical devices, including your ST80i System.
Protecting Personal Information
It is essential that policies and procedures for the proper handling of personal or sensitive data,
consider the confidentiality, integrity, and the availability of these types of data. Each
organization using this product must provide the protective means necessary to safeguard
personal information consistent with each country law, code and regulation, and consistent
with the company policies for managing this information. While handling personal
information is outside the scope of this document; in g ene ral, each o rganizatio n is responsible
for identifying:
who has access to personal data and under what conditions an individual has authorization
to use that data
how the data is stored and the conditions by which it is stored
how the data is transmitted and the conditions under which that data is transmitted.
The US Department of Veterans Affairs has developed a widely used Medical Device
Isolation Architecture to minimize the risk of a security breach when medical devices are
connected to information networks. Such perimeter and network defenses are essential
elements in a comprehensive medical device security strategy.
Additional security and privacy information can be found on the Philips product security
website at: http://www.healthcare.philips.com/main/productsecurity/.
About HIPAA Rules
If applicable, your facility's security strategy should include the standards set forth in the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), introduced by the
United States Department of Health and Human Services. You should consider both the
security and the privacy rules and the HITECH Act when designing policies and procedures.

Security Controls and Safety Measures
The following controls and safety measures may further strengthen the security and
confidentiality of your patient records and system in general:
Install ST80i in a secure location and use a privacy filter on the ST80i System monitor that
shields the visibility of the screen contents from angled viewing.
In case of a power supply disruption, backup options shou ld be h andled by an app ropriate
power failover system.

Security Recommendations
Implement “best practices” Windows security measures to minimize unauthorized system
access. These measures include making passwords complex, regular changing of
passwords, short screen saver intervals, short auto logout intervals when the system is idle,
and training your users to lock the desktop when they leave the computer.
Install McAfee anti-virus software.
Apply Windows-recommended network security and user privilege policies to prevent:
–the installation of any software other than Philips-approved software intended for
installation on ST80i
–the transmission of viruses via removable storage devices (e.g., USB sticks)
Do not load or download to the computer any software, security patches, or updates not
authorized by Philips. Unathorized software may compromise the operation of the system
and is strictly prohibited.
Remember that the ST80i System contains confidential patient health information (PHI)
that should be safeguarded. Avoid copying pa tient health information to removable media.
If you do, maintain physical security of the media at all times. Deleting data from
rewritable/erasable media does not make the data inaccessible to a determined individual.
Dispose of removable media containing patient health information in accordance with
your institution’s policies.
Upon returning the equipment to Philips, eliminate all patient health information or other
confidential data, unless otherwise directed by Philips for problem investigation. Retain
only the information necessary for the investigation with full agreement from both parties.
Configure the system to not run executables (.exe files) automatically when connecting
external drives. See the ST80i Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
Shut down remote desktop services as a best practice.
Rename the built-in Windows Administrator account.
Disable the Guest account. Every user should have his or her own identity.
Set up a BIOS password to prevent unauthorized access to the computer setting.
Although security safeguards to protect the system against the intrusion of malware
(viruses, trojans, worms, and so on) are recommended, a possibility remains that a system
can become infected. In all circumstances, the system safety mechanisms are designed to
remain intact, even when you might notice unfamiliar system behavior and performance.
If this happens repeatedly, such as after the system has been switched off and on again,
contact Philips customer support to have the system checked and, if needed, cleansed of
malware.
Malware prevention software should be configured to receive automatic updates. If the
virus scanning software has detected infection by malware, do not use automatic repair
utilities because the integrity of the repaired software cannot be guaranteed. Contact
Philips service to assess and repair the system. Additionally, please be sure to adhere to
local procedures regarding malware infection, which may include disconnecting from the
network until the situation is resolved.

Safety Summary
Perform regular backups of system data and store in a secure location. ST80i allows you to
back up the stored ECG report and the configuration setting. Users with adminstrator
accounts can backup and restore ECG reports from the “Archive” screen; administrators
can also backup the configuration setting on the “Settings” screen.
The exported configuration setting can be imported on the “Settings” screen to restore the
ST80i software.
User must maintain physical security of the media that stores the backup files at all times.
You risk losing ePHI if you transfer it to unsupported and/or obsolete backup media
(e.g., floppy disks).
Limit W eb browsing to the downloading of Philips-authorized security patches or updates.
Web as browsing dramatically increases the chance of the system being infected by
malicious software.
ST80i is not generally used in situations where emergency access is required. If this is
important to your organization, it is recommended that you establish administrative
procedures to permit emergency access to the device when normal logon and
authentication credentials are not available.
