The Welch Allyn electrocardiography and spirometry 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.
•Using the optional spirometry module and associated accessories to acquire, view,
store and print measures and waveforms of pulmonary function including, but not
limited to, maximal volume and flow of air that can be moved in and out of the
patient's lungs. These measures are used in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung
diseases and interventions for the treatment of certain lung diseases. The spirometer
should only be used with patients able to understand the instructions for performing
the test.

Directions for UseChapter 1 Introduction17
Warnings Related to Using the Electrocardiograph
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.
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. See “Connecting the
Patient Cable” on page 22.
•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 and disinfect all components that come in contact with
patients. See “Cleaning the Equipment” on page 80.
•Avoid ECG testing for patients with open, infectious sores.
WARNING Avoid positioning any leads or cables so that they could easily trip
someone or become wrapped around a patient’s neck.
WARNING Satisfactory maintenance procedures must be implemented, or
equipment failure and health hazards may result.
WARNING Only qualified service personnel should attempt to repair the
electrocardiograph. In case of a malfunction, call Technical Support and precisely
describe the problem. For phone numbers, see page ii.
