Description
The Schiller BP-200 Plus is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor built for exercise testing, measuring and displaying systolic and diastolic pressure automatically at preset intervals or on demand. It is made for stress laboratories that run Schiller exercise ECG systems and need readings that stay trustworthy while the patient is moving.
- Measures exercise blood pressure with SCHILLER K-sound analysis, with or without a QRS trigger
- Switches to oscillometric measurement for resting readings before and after the test
- Links by RS-232 to Schiller exercise ECG systems, including the CARDIOVIT CS-200 Excellence
- Offered with an SpO2 configuration that adds an ear sensor and extension cable
Exercise Blood Pressure That Stays Readable at Peak Workload
Blood pressure is the measurement most likely to fall apart during an exercise test, because treadmill noise, vibration and patient movement all fight the reading. The BP-200 plus answers that problem with SCHILLER K-sound analysis, which distinguishes Korotkoff sounds from artifact so the displayed values stay verified instead of guessed. Measurements run automatically at the intervals the protocol sets, or manually whenever the operator wants another reading. The display shows the Korotkoff sounds alongside systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, so the team can judge each reading as it happens.
The same monitor works away from the treadmill as a stand-alone unit for resting measurements in the oscillometric mode. Trend data is kept in tabular and graphic form for review after the test. Recorded values include peripheral pulse rate and the double product of systolic pressure and heart rate. Five buttons handle programming and operation, which keeps the front panel simple during a busy test.
Features and Benefits
- K-Sound Analysis: SCHILLER K-sound analysis separates Korotkoff sounds from motion artifact during exercise

- Real-Time Display: waveform and measurements display live, with Korotkoff sounds shown for verification
- Trend Review: tabular and graphic trend data supports post-test review and reporting
- System Communication: RS-232 interface communicates with Schiller exercise ECG systems

Why Stress Labs Choose the BP-200 Plus
Exercise blood pressure is a required part of a complete stress test record, and it is also the value most often lost to noise. This monitor was designed around that single problem, and it shows in the reliability of the numbers it reports.
- Built for Exercise Testing – the measurement method, the trigger options and the interval automation all serve the stress laboratory
- Verified Readings – Korotkoff sounds display with the values, so clinicians can trust or repeat a reading on the spot
- Native Schiller Fit – RS-232 communication pairs it with the Schiller exercise ECG systems already in the lab
- Room to Grow – the SpO2 configuration adds ear-sensor oximetry without changing the monitor
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the BP-200 Plus used for?
It measures non-invasive blood pressure during exercise ECG testing, automatically at preset intervals or on demand. It also works as a stand-alone monitor for resting blood pressure measurements.
How does it measure blood pressure during exercise?
It uses SCHILLER K-sound analysis, with or without a QRS trigger, to identify Korotkoff sounds through motion and vibration. For resting situations it switches to the oscillometric method.
What comes with the standard configuration?
The standard configuration includes the monitor, a D-ring cuff in size M, the microphone and tube for the cuff, and a QRS trigger cable. The cable connects the monitor to a CS-200 Classic or CS-200 Excellence system.
What does the SpO2 configuration add?
It adds SpO2 measurement with an ear sensor and an SpO2 extension cable. The monitor then displays oxygen saturation alongside the blood pressure values.
Which systems does it connect to?
Its RS-232 interface communicates with Schiller exercise ECG systems including the CS-104, the CS-200 Office, the CS-200 Touch, the CS-200 Excellence and the AT-180. It can also be used on its own as a stand-alone monitor.
