Product Overview

The monitor can monitor systolic and diastolic noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), pulse rate, and MAP (mean arterial pressure). Units configured with the appropriate options can also simultaneously monitor temperature and SpO2, and can continuously monitor pulse rate.

All vital-sign measurements are displayed on the front panel of the monitor. These measurements can also be printed, using the optional integrated thermal printer.

The monitor provides programmable audible and visual alarms and automatic NIBP measurements at selectable intervals. It can also be configured to provide an alarmactivated Nurse Call function.

Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC standards (IEC 60950 for data-processing equipment, IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). All such configurations must comply with system standard

IEC 60601-1-1.

Caution Anyone connecting additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part of this monitor configures a medical system and is responsible for verifying that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1.

Directions for Use

Chapter 1 General Information

Warnings and Cautions

All operating and service personnel must be familiar with the information presented here, and with other warnings and cautions which appear throughout this document.

Warning and caution labels can appear on the monitor, the packaging, the shipping container, or in this document.

General Warnings

WARNING Many environmental variables, including patient physiology and clinical application, can affect the accuracy and performance of the device. The clinician must verify all vital signs information prior to patient intervention.

WARNING The monitor is for use only by medical clinicians. Although this document might illustrate medical monitoring techniques, the monitor must be used only by trained clinicians who know how to take and interpret a patient’s vital signs.

WARNING Disconnect the SpO2 cable from the monitor before defibrillating the patient.

WARNING During defibrillation, keep the defibrillation discharge paddles away from any conductive parts that might already be in contact with the patient.

WARNING For the safety of patients, and to ensure the best product

performance and accuracy, use only accessories and supplies recommended or supplied by Welch Allyn for the monitor, as listed in Products and Accessories

(810-0409-XX). Always use accessories with strict adherence to the manufacturer’s directions for use.

WARNING Do not operate the monitor in the presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or hyperbaric chambers.

WARNING Do not operate the monitor in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide, or in oxygen-enriched environments, or in any other potentially explosive environment.

WARNING It is the clinician’s responsibility to set or verify alarm limits appropriate to each patient.

WARNING Never allow any liquid to enter any monitor connector. If a connector does come in contact with liquid:

1.Remove the monitor from service.

2.Use warm, dry air to dry the connector.

3.Thoroughly test and verify operation before returning the monitor to service.

Chapter 1 General Information

Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series

WARNING Do not connect more than one patient to a monitor.

WARNING If the monitor is dropped or damaged, it must be thoroughly tested by a qualified service person before it is returned to service.

WARNING Periodically check all cords and cables for damage, wear, or fraying; replace as needed.

WARNING The monitor contains no operator-serviceable parts, other than the replaceable paper roll.

WARNING If the battery shows any signs of damage, leakage, or cracking, it must be replaced immediately, by a qualified service person, and only with a battery approved by Welch Allyn.

WARNING Always recycle batteries according to local regulations. Never dispose of batteries in refuse containers.

WARNING Do not use the monitor on patients who are linked to a heart machine or a lung machine.

WARNING Do not use the monitor on patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors.

General Cautions

Caution If the accuracy of any measurement is in doubt, verify the patient’s vital sign by another method. If the monitor is not measuring accurately, have it inspected by a qualified service person.

Caution Be sure that the monitor is securely located on a flat surface or properly suspended by means of appropriate mounting equipment.

Caution Do not autoclave the monitor.

Caution Do not place cups, glasses, or other fluid containers or vessels on the monitor.

2 Setup

This chapter describes the set-up procedures for patient monitoring.

Connections

Use the procedures described below to connect components to the monitor.

Connecting AC Power

The monitor operates on DC power, supplied by either the internal battery or the AC power adapter. (For information on the battery, refer to “Battery Operation” on page 71 and “Electrical” on page 76.)

When the AC power adapter is connected, it simultaneously powers the monitor and charges the internal battery. When the AC power adapter is not connected, the monitor operates on the internal battery.

Caution Use only the medical-grade AC power adapter approved by Welch Allyn. (Refer to the Welch Allyn Parts and Accessories Guide (810-0409-XX) for ordering information.) Using an unqualified power adapter can have the following results:

•violation of isolation requirements

•hazard to the patient

•damage to the monitor

You cannot change the date and time while memory contains stored vital-signs data. If you attempt to change the date and time setting while data is stored, the question ERASE DATA? appears in the message window. If you confirm the data erasure, the monitor erases the data from memory and returns you to the date-set function. If you select NO, the stored data is retained in memory and the monitor returns to normal operation.
