Introduction

About this document

This document is written for clinical professionals with a working knowledge of medical procedures and terminology required for monitoring cardiac patients.

Before using the electrocardiograph for clinical applications — or before setting up, configuring, troubleshooting, or servicing the electrocardiograph — you must read and understand this document and all other information that accompanies the electrocardiograph and related options or accessories.

Intended use

The Welch Allyn electrocardiography products (subject devices) are intended for use by trained operators in health facilities. The subject devices provide the following diagnostic functions:

•

Acquiring, viewing, storing, and printing ECG waveforms using ECG front-end modules (patient cables) and associated accessories that provide signal acquisition for up to twelve (12) leads of patient ECG waveforms through surface electrodes adhered to the body.

• Using optional algorithms to generate measurements, data presentations, graphical presentations, and interpretative statements on an advisory basis. These are presented for review and interpretation by the clinician based upon knowledge of the patient, the result of physical examination, the ECG tracings, and other clinical findings.

Indications for use

The electrocardiograph is one of the tools that clinicians use to evaluate, diagnose, and monitor patient cardiac function.

The 12-lead ECG interpretive algorithm provides a computer-generated analysis of potential patient cardiac abnormalities which must be confirmed by a physician with other relevant clinical information.

Contraindications

The electrocardiograph has no known contraindications.

2 Introduction CP 150 12-lead resting electrocardiograph

Description

• The electrocardiograph allows users to perform 12-lead ECG measurements and analysis.

• The electrocardiograph supports STAT, Auto, and Rhythm test types.

• The electrocardiograph provides the ability to print test records on an internal printer or external network printer.

• The electrocardiograph allows storage of test records in device memory, external storage media, and external software applications.

Features

Pacemaker detection

The software detects the possible presence of a pacemaker. If you confirm that the patient has a pacemaker, the ECG report includes no interpretation, and it indicates that a pacemaker was detected.

Automatic ECG interpretation (optional)

The optional MEANS interpretation algorithm, developed by the University of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, provides automatic analysis of ECG tests. For more information, see the MEANS Physicians’ Manual or the PEDMEANS Physicians’ Manual on the CD that came with your electrocardiograph. The MEANS algorithm is used for adult patients 18 years and older. The PEDMEANS algorithm is used for pediatric patients from 1 day through 17 years old.

General warnings

Warnings indicate conditions or practices that could lead to illness, injury, or death.

Warnings related to the environment

WARNING The power cord is considered the disconnect device for isolating this equipment from supply mains. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to reach or disconnect.

WARNING To avoid a possible explosion, do not use the electrocardiograph in the presence of flammable anesthetics: mixtures containing air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

WARNING When transporting the electrocardiograph on a cart, tuck the patient cable away to keep them clear of the wheels and to minimize trip hazards.

Warnings related to accessories and other equipment

WARNING To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

WARNING For operator and patient safety, peripheral equipment and accessories that can come in direct patient contact must be in compliance with all appropriate safety, EMC, and regulatory requirements.

WARNING All signal input and output (I/O) connectors are intended for connection of only devices complying with IEC 60601-1, or other IEC standards (for example, IEC 60950), as appropriate to the device. Connecting additional devices to the electrocardiograph might increase chassis or patient leakage currents.

WARNING The electrocardiograph has not been designed for use with high-frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not protect against hazards to the patient.

WARNING Defective batteries can damage the electrocardiograph. Visually inspect the battery at least monthly, if the battery shows any signs of damage or cracking, it must be replaced immediately and only with a battery approved by Welch Allyn.

WARNING Improper disposal of batteries may create an explosion or contamination hazard. Never dispose of batteries in refuse containers. Always recycle batteries according to local regulations.

Warnings related to using the electrocardiograph

WARNING No modification of this equipment is allowed.

WARNING This device captures and presents data reflecting a patient’s

physiological condition. When reviewed by a trained physician or clinician, this data can be useful in determining a diagnosis. However, the data should not be used as a sole means for determining a patient’s diagnosis or prescribing treatment.

WARNING To provide CF protection use only accessories approved by Welch Allyn. Visit www.welchallyn.com. The use of any other accessories can result in inaccurate patient data, can damage the equipment, and can void your product warranty.

WARNING To avoid serious injury or death, take these precautions during patient defibrillation:

• Avoid contact with the electrocardiograph, patient cable, and patient.

• Verify that the patient leads are properly connected.

• Place defibrillator paddles properly in relation to electrodes.

• After defibrillation, pull each patient lead out of the patient cable and inspect the tips for charring (black carbon marks). If there is any charring, the patient cable and individual leads must be replaced. If there is no charring, fully reinsert the leads into the patient cable. (Charring can occur only if a lead is not fully inserted into the patient cable before defibrillation.)

WARNING To prevent the spread of infection, take these precautions:

• Dispose of single-use components (for example, electrodes) after using them once.

• Regularly clean all components that come in contact with patients.

• Avoid ECG testing for patients with open, infectious sores.

As such it is suitable for use in commercial grade electrical environments. If the electrocardiograph is used in residential grade electrical environments and you experience incidental interference with other equipment that uses radio frequency signals to operate, minimize the interference.

CAUTION Other medical equipment—including but not limited to defibrillators, ultrasound machines, pacemakers, and other stimulators— may be used simultaneously with the electrocardiograph. However, such devices may disturb the electrocardiograph signal.

CAUTION The power cord must be disconnected from AC power before cleaning, maintaining, transporting, or servicing.

10 Introduction CP 150 12-lead resting electrocardiograph

CAUTION The requirements of AAMI EC11, Section 3.2.7.2, Frequency and Impulse Response, for an impulse triangle waveform may be impacted by up to 5 milliseconds of small amplitude dampened ringing immediately after the impulse when the muscle filter (35 Hz) is turned on or a small amplitude offset when the baseline filter (0.5 Hz) is turned on. These filters, in any combination turned on or off, meet the AAMI requirements. Measurements performed by the optional interpretation algorithm are unaffected by any filter selections.

Note The entire patient cable, up to and including the electrodes are considered

to be an Applied Part.

Setup

Connecting the patient cable

WARNING Do not allow the conductive parts of the patient cable, electrodes, or associated connections of defibrillation-proof applied parts, including the neutral conductor of the patient cable and electrodes, to come into contact with other conductive parts, including earth ground.
