The cardiovascular response depends, besides ANS reaction and test protocol, also on the way stimulus is self-applied by the test subject. We present a versatile device for controlling stimulus self-application during three ANS tests: Valsalva maneuver, static handgrip, and deep breathing. It integrates two different gauges and a pace setter for breathing into one device. The core of the device is a linear LED display which, using green, yellow, and red diodes, informs the subject about the correctness of self-application of respective stimulus. The settings of the device can be adjusted to the needs of the protocol chosen. The device can record the duration of mouth air pressure or the force produced by the subject during ANS tests, which assures correctness of the tests, thus allowing to track individual variability changes in the response to the test. The device was verified during ANS tests and its use was intuitive for patients, reducing the time needed for training before tests and decreasing the effort of the physician.Keywords: biomedical equipment, Ewing’s battery, autonomic nervous system testsŻyliński MNiewiadomski WCybulski GGąsiorowska ADove Medical Pressarticlebiomedical equipmentewing’s batteryautonomic nervous system testsMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 14, Pp 165-172 (2021)
