0Notice

The information in this document is subject to change without notice.

Agilent Technologies makes no warranty of any kind with regard to this material,
including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose. Agilent Technologies shall not be liable for errors contained herein or
for incidental or consequential damages in connection with the furnishing, performance,
or use of this material.

This document contains or refers to proprietary information which is protected by
copyright. All rights are reserved. No part of this document may be photocopied,

Responsibility of the Manufacturer

Agilent Technologies only considers itself responsible for any effects on safety, reliability
and performance of the equipment if all the following are true:

• Assembly operations, extensions, re-adjustments, modifications or repairs are done by
persons authorized by Agilent Technologies.

• The electrical installation of the relevant room complies with the IEC or national requ ire­ments.

• The instrument is used according to the instructions for use presented in this manual.

As with all electronic equipment, radio frequency interference between this
cardiograph and any existing RF transmitting or receiving equipment at the
installation site, including electrosurgical equipment, should be evaluated
carefully and any limitations noted before the equipment is placed in service.
Monitoring during electrosurgery should not be attempted and monitoring
electrodes should be removed from the patient to preclude the possibility of
burns. Radio frequency generation from electrosurgical equipment and close
proximity transmitters may seriously degrade cardiograph performance. Agilent
Technologies assumes no liability for failures resulting from RF interference
between Agilent medical electronics and any radio frequency generating
equipment at levels exceeding those established by applicable standards.

Notice

CAUTION

CAUTION

Like all electronic devices, this cardiograph is susceptible to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Electrostatic discharge typically occurs when electrostatic energy is transferred to
the patient, the electrodes, or the cardiograph. ESD may result in ECG artifact that may
appear as narrow spikes on the cardiograph display or on the printed report. When ESD

occurs, the cardiograph’s ECG interpretation may be inconsistent with the physician’s
interpretation.

ESD discharges to expose d m etal on th e rear of the cardiograph can o ccasion ally cau se an
error message to appear on the cardiograph display. The cardiograph returns to normal
operation after turning the power off, then on again.

The data transmission cable must have a suppression device attached to assure the
cardiograph’s compliance with the European Radiated Emissions Standard found in
CISPR 11. If your data transmission cable does not include a suppression device,
compliance can be achieved by attaching one of the following suppression devices to the
cable, near the cardiograph:

Introduction

WARNING

NOTE

This chapter introduces you to the M1770A PageWriter 200i/300pi, M1771A PageWriter
200, and M1772A PageWriter 100 cardiographs and lists their technical specifications.

These cardiographs are only to be serviced by Agilent qualified personnel.

Safe and effective use of medical instrumentation requires periodic inspection and
preventive maintenance. Perform the preventive maintenance procedures in Chapter 2 of

this manual at required intervals to ensure satisfactory instrument performance.

The cardiographs use a thermal printhead to record waveforms and label the ECG report.
The paper supplied with the cardiographs is a thermal paper designed to work with this
printhead and with the photo detector used to advancing the paper.

Agilent Technologies guarantees the performance of the cardiographs only when used
with Agilent Technologies supplies, accessories, and paper that meet or exceed Agilent
Technologies specifications.

0PageWriter 100, 200, 200i, and 300pi Series Cardiographs

The M1770A PageWriter 200i/300pi is Agilent Technologies’ economical, interpretive
cardiograph. The M1771A PageWriter 200 is the economical, non-interpretive
cardiograph. The M1772A PageWriter 100 is the most economical, non-interpretive
cardiograph. The cardiograph contains the user controls, the printer, and all the processing
circuitry. All models use the same enclosure. The M1705B cart is designed for these
cardiographs. Figure 1-1 shows the M1770A mounted on the cart. Option #A05 provides
transmission and storage capability for the M1770A and M1771A. The StressWriter
option provides capability for communication between a PageWriter 100/200/200i/300pi
cardiograph and a StressW riter system.

PageWriter 100, 200, 200i, and 300pi Series Cardiographs

Figure 1-1 M1770A/M1771A PageWriter 300pi/200i/200 Cardiograph.

The PageWriter 100, 200, and 300 family of cardiographs print ECGs in Auto and
Manual formats. All PageWriter cardiographs use a continuous feed, high-resolution,
thermal array printer. This produces electrocardiograms on standard- size paper that can
be included in patient records without cutting or mountin g. ECG reports clearly show the
ECG waveforms. The PageWriter 200 and 300 series cardiographs also annotate records
with patient information and ECG measurements. The PageWriter 200i and 300pi also
includes ECG interpretation for both adult and pediatric patients.

From a service standpoint, the PageWriter 100, 200, and 300 family of cardiographs are
similar except for two major hardware differences:

• The M1770A has additional firmware for ECG measurements and interpretation.

• The M1771A has additional firmware for ECG measurements.

• The M1772A keypanel do es no t hav e an L CD preview dis play and uses operation al k eys
instead of alphanumeric keys for user input.

All other model differences are found in the cardiograph’s software.

The PageWriter 100, 200, and 300 family of cardiographs is designed for low-cost, long­term reliability. The modular design makes extensive use of VLSI and gate array
technology, resulting in a minimum number of subassemblies. The modular approach
means less down-time for the user, since replacing subassemblies allows faster field
repairs. The internal self-test efficiently identifies faulty subassemblies, further speedin g
the repair process.

Inquiries

M1705B Cart

The optional M1705B Cart provides mobility for the PageWriter 100, 200, and 300 family
of cardiographs. The large wheels make the cart easy to move, yet steady. Slots in the

cardiograph’s feet and a thumbscrew secure the cardiograph to the cart rails. The tray
directly below the cardiograph provides storage for the user’ s guide. Storage for the power
cable is built in. Other built-in cable retainers hold the patient data cable ou t of the way.
Two compartmented trays provide storage for spare patient electrodes and patient cables,
additional thermal paper, and consumable supplies.

Transmission and Storage, Option #A05

Transmission and storage features are available for the M1770A and M1771A with
purchase of Option #A05. Up to th irty Auto ECGs can be stored in the car diograph’s
internal flash memory. Stored ECGs can be recalled later for editing, re-analyzing,
printing, or transmi ssi on to another PageWri te r 200 /2 00i/300pi equipped with Opt i on
#A05, a PageWriter XLi cardiograph, a TraceMaster ECG Management System, or
facsimile machine. Manual ECGs cannot be transmitted or st ored.

Sampling Characteristics of Cardiograph

Physiological factors such as breathing can cause variation in amplitudes of heart beats,
independent of the heart rate. In addition, sampled systems (as op posed to continuous
systems) may show changes in the apparent height of the R-wave when sampling of the R­wave occurs slightly off-peak. Because the sampling rate and the heart rate are
asynchronous, the time between the peak and an adjacent sample can vary from one QRS
complex to the next. This results in a slight variation of displayed QRS amplitu de. This
effect is more pronounced wit h narrower signals, more commonly foun d in some pediatric
electrocardiograms and in pacemaker pulses. The M177XA family of cardiographs
minimizes this effect by:

• using an integrating-type A/D converter

• sampling all leadwires simultaneously

• oversampling the signals

• processing the oversampled signals with appropriate digital signal processing techniques

Performance Verification and Maintenance

NOTE

1Introduction

This chapter describes how to verify the cardiograph’s performance, explains preventive
maintenance, presents patient safety information, and prov ides a p erfo rmance verification
checklist.

1Performance Verification

Several procedures make up performance verification: visual inspection of the
cardiograph exterior, execution of Extended Self-test, visual examination of an ECG
recorded from an ECG patient simulator, and system safety tests using a safety analyzer.

A Performance Verification matrix which appears at the end of this section specifies the
tests and inspections which must be performed following servicing of th e PageWriter
cardiographs. The Performance Verification test results must be recorded on

Customer Service order records

Make copies of the matrix. Fill out a copy each time the cardiograph is tested. Attach the
printer test output, and simulator ECG trace to the completed matrix and file with the
cardiograph’s permanent maintenance record.

If any of the performance verification tests fail, refer to Chapter 4, Troubleshooting.

2-1

Performance Verification

Visual Inspection and Power On Self Test

Before beginning the inspection, p res s the key to put the cardiograph in

2Q6WDQGE\

Standby mode, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Inspect the cardiograph
for the following:

• Worn or damaged power cord

• Loose or missing hardware

• Mechanical damage

• Evidence of liquid spill

• W orn printer drive gear

• Worn printer roller

• Corroded or damaged reusable electrodes, if present

• Damaged patient cable

• Dirt/paper residue on the thermal printhead

• Frayed or damaged wiring

Replace any damaged or missing items, and clean the printhead and patient electrodes as
necessary. Cleaning instructions are listed under “Preventive Maintenance” later in this
chapter. Connect the cardiograph to AC power. Be sure that the AC indicator comes on.
Turn the cardiograph On and observe that the display turns on (PageWriter
200/200i/300pi) or that the LED’s flash on (PageWriter 100).

Extended Self-test

The cardiograph’s extended self-test checks each major subassembly. The extended self­test consists of two sections: the testing of internal circuitry and the testing of printer,
display, keyboard, and modem capabilities.

To begin the extended self-test, press and hold both the and key s while
turning on the cardiograph with the key.

Internal Circuitry Testing of PageWriter 100

These tests are performed on the internal circuitry:

•Memory

• Gate Array

• Front-End Interface

• Serial Interface

Each of these tests is described in detail later in this chap ter.

When the internal circuitry test of the PageWriter 100 is performed, the LEDs show which
test is being performed. The following table shows which LED is associated with each
test.

Internal Circuitry Testing of PageWriter 200/200i/300pi

These tests are performed on the internal circuitry:

•Memory

• Gate Array

• Front-End Interface

• Serial Interface

Each test is described detail later in this chapter.

When testing the internal circuitry of the PageWriter 200/200i/300pi, the numbers 1
through 9 and the characters A through D are displayed one at a time beginning with
number 1. Each number represents a particular test. If the test fails, the character X is
placed after the test number, f or example, 3X. The test descriptions below are listed in the
order the tests are performed.

CAUTION

If your cardiograph is equi p ped wi th Opt i on s # A05 or #A10, do not turn it off during Test
C or D. If you turn off the cardiograph while Test C or D are in process, you could lose
stored ECGs, the Log of ECGs Stored, or the Log of ECGs Taken.

When the tests are completed, the results are printed out in a pass /fai l format on the left­hand side of the first page of the test report.

failure codes and failure symptoms.

Memory Test

This test looks for failures in the following memory subsys tems:

• Read-Only Memory (ROM)

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM)

Read-Only Memory (tests 1-4) . The cardiograph is designed to have up to four ROMs
installed, two on the main control board and two on an option board. The Read-Only
Memory test reads the contents and performs a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of
each of the four ROM address spaces. The test of a ROM address space will fail if the
ROM module is faulty or is not present. The four ROM address spaces are identified on
the report as

•ROM-1

•ROM-2

•ROM-X1

•ROM-X2

Depending on the serial number and model of the unit you are servicing, the
corresponding ROM part numbers vary. Refer to tables 2-5, 2-6, 2-7, and 2-8 for the
correct ROM replacement part numbers.
