Overview

About this guide

This guide describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot the Welch Allyn Connex
CSK (Connectivity Solutions Kit) software.

For related procedures — for example, configuring the CP 200 electrocardiograph for
connectivity, installing the wireless radio, or installing the CardioPerfect Workstation
software — see separate instructions for the specific product.

While this guide mentions HL7 connectivity, installation of the corresponding software
module (EIE, enterprise integration engine) is beyond its scope. For details on HL7
connectivity, contact your Welch Allyn service representative.

This guide is written for network administrators and others with a background in
information technology.

General warnings and cautions

Throughout this manual, warning statements indicate conditions or practices that could
lead to illness, injury, or death. Caution statements indicate conditions or practices that
could damage the equipment or other property.

WARNING Reanalyzing imported ECG or spirometry data at a CardioPerfect
Workstation might affect measurement values and predicted values due to
platform differences, possibly changing the automatic interpretation.

Caution For PCs running Microsoft ActiveSync, before you connect to a CP 200
electrocardiograph via USB cable, you must disable the USB connection in the
ActiveSync connection settings.

About Connex CSK software

The Welch Allyn Connex CSK software is a collection of software modules that enable
various Welch Allyn devices to communicate with systems such as CardioPerfect
Workstations.

From a connected device (wireless or wired), users can do the following:

• Send vitals data to data systems.

• Send ECG and/or spirometry tests to a CardioPerfect database.

• Recall patient information from a CardioPerfect database (CP 200 only).

• Retrieve patient order lists from an EMR/HIS using the Welch Allyn HL7 interface,
sold separately (CP 200 only).

Even without a connection, users of CP 100 and CP 200 electrocardiographs can transfer
tests to a CardioPerfect database via removable media (SD memory cards or USB storage
devices).
