2 Chapter 1 Introduction Welch Allyn CP 200 Electrocardiograph

About This Manual

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

Before using the CP 200 electrocardiograph for clinical applications—or before setting up, configuring, troubleshooting, or servicing the electrocardiograph—you must read and understand this manual and all other information accompanying the electrocardiograph and related options or accessories.

Product Overview

The Welch Allyn CP 200 electrocardiograph can display, print, save, and send ECGs electronically. It features a full alphanumeric keyboard, a color display to preview ECGs and edit settings, storage for up to 50 ECG and 50 spirometry records, full-size userprogrammable reports, and the ability to operate on either battery or AC power.

For centralized ECG data storage, the CP 200 electrocardiograph can connect to a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect™ workstation, which in turn can connect with other electronic patient-information systems, such as billing and medical records.

For details, see the following sections:

• “Standard Features & Benefits” on page 3

• “Options” on page 4

• “Specifications” on page 89

Intended Use

The CP 200 electrocardiograph is specifically intended for acquiring, viewing, storing, and printing ECG signals from adult and pediatric patients. It will be used in clinical settings by trained healthcare providers.

The optional interpretation algorithm analyzes these ECG signals to generate measurements and interpretive statements for adults. The interpretive results are intended only as guidance for qualified physicians and must not be relied upon as diagnoses.

The electrocardiograph provides an optional interface to a pulmonary function device.

Communication of ECG and spirometry data with a central data-management system is optional.

Directions for Use Chapter 1 Introduction 3

Indications for Use

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

The 12-lead interpretive algorithm provides a computer-generated analysis of potential patient abnormalities which must be used only as guidance for consideration by qualified physicians, together with other relevant clinical information, for purposes of making diagnoses.

Contraindications

The 12-lead interpretive algorithm is not intended for use on pediatric patients.

Standard Features & Benefits

Full alphanumeric keypad

Enter or search for patient information quickly and easily.

Color LCD display

View and adjust the ECG waveforms prior to printing, to save time and paper. With spirometry option, also view patients’ spirometry efforts and results.

Storage for up to 50 ECG and 50 spirometry records

Review, edit, print, or save recent records.

Unlimited storage on SD™ memory cards

Use SD memory cards to save as many ECG or spirometry records as you like. (Cards are not included.)

Battery operation

Use the electrocardiograph almost anywhere. On battery power, you can print up to 100 ECGs continuously before needing to recharge.

User-definable ECG report formats

Customize one or two formats for efficient reporting.

Removable leads for ECG patient cable

Replace leads individually if needed.

Compatibility with CardioPerfect workstation software

Store and manage data electronically by transferring records to a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation in one of two ways:

• via an SD memory card (card not included)

• via a hardwired connection (cable not included)

4 Chapter 1 Introduction Welch Allyn CP 200 Electrocardiograph

Options

These options are available both for initial purchases and for upgrades.

• Spirometry

General Warnings

The following warning statements apply to electrocardiograph use in general. Warning statements that apply specifically to particular procedures, such as connecting the patient cable or performing an ECG test, appear in the corresponding sections of the manual.

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

Warnings Related to the Environment

WARNING To ensure patient and device safety, leave 5 feet (1.5 meters) of

open area around the patient.

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 from the wheels so that it does not present a hazard.

Warnings Related to Accessories and Other Equipment

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. See “EMC Guidance

and Manufacturer’s Declarations” on page 91.

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 may increase chassis or patient leakage currents. To maintain operator and patient safety, consider the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. Measure the leakage currents to confirm that no electric shock hazard exists.

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

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 20.

• 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 74.

• 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.

Directions for Use Chapter 1 Introduction 17

General Cautions

The following caution statements apply to electrocardiograph use in general. Caution statements that apply specifically to particular procedures, such as connecting the patient cable or performing an ECG test, appear in the corresponding sections of the manual.

Caution statements indicate conditions or practices that could damage the equipment or other property.

Caution When removing the electrocardiograph from storage, allow it to thermally stabilize to surrounding environmental conditions before using it.

Caution To prevent possible damage to the keypad, do not use sharp or hard objects to press keys. Only use fingertips.

Caution Do not expose the patient cable to strong ultra-violet radiation.

Caution Do not pull or stretch the patient cable. Doing so could result in

mechanical or electrical failures. Form the patient cable into a loose loop before storing.

Caution Avoid positioning the patient cable where it might get pinched or stepped on. If the cable’s impedance is altered, measurements might no longer be accurate, and repair might be necessary.

Caution Using the equipotential terminal for anything but grounding purposes may contribute to damage of the device.

Caution Use only parts and accessories supplied with the device and available through Welch Allyn. The use of accessories other than those specified may result in degraded performance of this device.

Caution Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the performance of the electrocardiograph.

Caution The electrocardiograph meets the Class A requirements of IEC 606011-2:2000 regarding incidental emission of radio frequency interference. 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 as described under

“EMC Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declarations” on page 91.

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, or servicing.
