The subject sits quietly on the examination bed, the thorax belt with integral 

electrodes is correctly positioned on the chest and the transmitter switched on 
(regular signals as indicated by the LED-diode are detected).  
Click on the Deep breathing test button (section 9 in the measuring screen). Enter 

the blood pressure value, if needed (optional). Then click on the ‘Test start’ button -
- see below, the screen shows effect of a cyclical breathing on the heart rate course 
while voice and written / graphical commands help to guide the test appropriately: 

After an initial phase (10 seconds) that is necessary for obtaining basic data for 
statistics, a voice and written command “Breath in” appears, followed after 5 

seconds by “Breath out” command. Paralelly, a breathing guide bar slowly increases 
and decreases in green so that the subject’s cyclical breathing excursions are 
maximally standardised, each of them 5 seconds (four inspirations and four 

exspirations). When finished (after 40 seconds), a message appears on the screen: 

“Breath normally”. Another 10 seconds of data are then 
recorded for computational purposes, a final longer beep 

and messages “Test is finished” indicate that the test is 
finished automatically.  
 
 

must be absolutely artefact-free in order to ensure reliable 
test results. (See “Filtration“ procedure)
