Step By Step Training for the TriFIT 620
The following training steps are mandatory before testing any clients, students or patients. The operator
should have a thorough understanding of the function of the system before exercise testing. Any new
TriFIT operators should follow the procedures outlined below.
On-Screen Tutorial and Video Training
For on-screen training of the TriFIT system, simply open the TriFIT Tutorials on the
desktop of your computer. These separate tutorials walk you through the main
aspects of the program step-by-step. These will be very helpful in understanding the
system and how to administer a proper and safe exercise test.

Practical Testing
Once you have completed the entire Tutorial and Video Training, you are ready to
begin practicing using the equipment:
Write down the tests your facility wants to provide for its members or clients.
Carefully consider which assessments to use and the order they will be administered.
When the member or client returns for a re-test, it is important to use the same
battery of assessments for comparing the data. Also, the data gathered in Group
Reporting and Statistical Summary is more useful if the clients have been
administered the same tests.
Test a minimum of three people on the TriFIT using the same protocols that will
be used during an actual test. It is best to test individuals that will also be using the
TriFIT System, so that you may share any new information and test administration
tips.
Warranty and Technical Support Information
Your Technical Support and Warranty will be activated once Polar/HealthFirst
ships the TriFIT 620. You will by contacted by a Polar/HealthFirst customer
service representative to answer any initial questions you may have.
It is strongly recommended that each person using the TriFIT 620 follow the
recommendations for staff operation guidelines BEFORE testing any clients or
members.
