1.4.1 Blood Pressure Operating Modes

When a blood pressure measurement cycle is initiated, the cuff will automatically be inflated to the operator selected pressure level.
The cuff will immediately begin to deflate in a stepped fashion and will determine systolic pressure and diastolic pressure from the pulses sensed by the cuff at various pressure levels. This is the oscillometric method of non-invasive blood pressure monitoring.
Blood pressure measurements may be initiated manually, or automatically at time inter­vals determined by the user.
At the completion of a measurement cycle the systolic and diastolic pressures are dis­played. If the Monitor is in Automatic Mode, the measured values are kept on display until the next BP measurement is initiated. When not in Automatic Mode, the measured val­ues are displayed for two minutes, after which time the display screen is blanked. The most recent BP measurement may be recalled by pressing the REVIEW button.
When in Automatic Mode, if the unit is unable to determine the systolic or diastolic value, the measurement will be automatically repeated once.
1.4.1.a. Max/Min Blood Pressure Ranges
The maximum and minimum ranges of blood pressure are detailed below:

Section 1: General Information
1.4.1.b. Blood Pressure Manual Mode
In the Manual Mode, a single blood pressure determination is made only when the START button is pushed. The manual mode is the default mode of operation for blood pressure determinations.
A measurement cycle may be canceled at any time by pressing the CANCEL button. This action immediately initiates a rapid cuff deflation.
The blood pressure measurement data will appear on the display immediately following the measurement. The display will blank after two minutes. If the display is blanked, pressing the REVIEW button on the front panel will recall the measurement. Up to 99 prior measurements are available for review or printing.
In Blood Pressure Manual Mode, the following alarm limits may be activated; SYSTOLIC HIGH LIMIT, SYSTOLIC LOW LIMIT, DIASTOLIC HIGH LIMIT, DIASTOLIC LOW LIMIT, PULSE RATE HIGH LIMIT and PULSE RATE LOW LIMIT. Blood pressure determina­tions which activate alarms are indicated by flashing displays and a repetitive audible tone. If an alarm limit is violated, subsequent blood pressure determinations may be made only after the alarm condition is reset by pressing any button on the Monitor’s display.
1.4.1.c. Blood Pressure Automatic Mode
The Automatic Blood Pressure Mode is entered by pressing the AUTO button. Pressing the AUTO button displays a choice of 10 cycle interval times as follows: “st” (STAT mode) 3 min, 4 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min and 90 min. These choices represent the time interval from the beginning of one cycle to the beginning of the next automatic cycle. STAT mode allows the monitor to take continuous blood pressure mea­surements for 15 minutes. In addition, the operator may choose to disable the Auto Mode by choosing “—” (two dashes).
A measurement cycle may be canceled at any time by pressing the CANCEL button. This action immediately initiates a rapid cuff deflation.
The blood pressure measurement data will appear on the display immediately following the measurement and will remain displayed until the next measurement cycle is initiated.

1.4.2. Temperature Operating Modes
Thermistor Thermometry measurements are made with the DIATEK/Welch Allyn SureTemp4TM thermometer. Oral and rectal probes utilize single-use disposable probe covers which limit cross-contamination. Oral or rectal temperatures are taken using ‘Normal’ or ‘Monitor’ operating modes. Auxiliary temperatures may be taken using the oral probe in the monitor operating mode.
In the normal mode the thermometer’s microprocessor “predicts” body temperature in about 4 seconds for oral temperatures and in about 15 seconds for rectal temperatures. The monitor mode displays the patient’s actual temperature after 3 minutes and will continue to display an updated temperature as long as the probe remains in place.
Temperature readings may be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius scales.

1.4.2.b. T emperature Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the device will measure temperature at discrete intervals and then calculate the rate of change according to a known algorithm. This allows the thermom­eter to predict the end point that the thermistor would reach if it were left in the mouth until it reached mouth temperature. This predictive an accurate oral temperature reading in approximately 4 seconds.
Normal mode is the default operating mode for temperature determinations.
Operator selectable patient alarm limits are not available in Temperature Normal
Mode. However, temperatures which are outside of the operating range of the
device will be noted on the temperature display.
feature allows the thermometer to arrive at
1.4.2.c. Temperature Monitor Mode
Continuous Monitor Mode operation is normally used for longer term monitoring and when difficult situations prevent accurate temperatures from being taken in the normal mode. The probe must be in contact with tissue for at least three (3) minutes for accurate temperature measurement. Monitor mode temperatures may not be identical to predicted ‘Normal’ temperatures because of ambient temperature influence and other factors. The trend in temperature is the important standard to be observed when in the ‘Monitor’ mode.
Operator selectable patient alarm limits are not available in Temperature Normal
Mode. However, temperatures which are outside of the operating range of the
device will be noted on the temperature display.

1.4.3 SpO Operating Mode

2
The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor incorporates either the Nonin® pulse oximetry system
®
or the Nellcor (% SpO
) by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light passed through the tis-
2
pulse oximetry system which determines arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation
sues. Changes in absorption caused by pulsation of blood in the vascular bed are used to determine arterial saturation and pulse rate.
Oxygen saturation percent is calculated with each pulse detected, and thus the monitor display is continually updated. The pulse signal bar graph is an indicator of the strength and quality of the detected pulses.
When SpO pulse rate measurement from the SpO
is measured, the patient’s pulse rate is also measured and displayed. A
2
determination overrides a pulse rate measure-
2
ment derived from a blood pressure measurement. In SpO2 monitoring mode operator selectable alarm limits for low SpO2 % may be acti-
vated. A condition which violates the SpO
low limit alarm is indicated by a flashing
2
display and repetitive audible tone. Should a patient alarm condition for or pulse rate occur, the Monitor will indicate an alarm condition (flashing & beeping) while continuing to monitor and display the patient’s current SpO
%. The alarm will automatically reset when
2
the patient’s condition returns to within the preset alarm parameters. Should a patient alarm condition for SpO
or pulse rate occur, the operator may invoke
2
“Silence Mode” by pressing the SILENCE button. This will silence the audible tone (display will continue to flash), while the practitioner attends to the patient and the moni­tor. Silence mode resets automatically after 30 seconds, or when the patient’s condition returns to within the preset alarm parameters.
Removal of the SpO
sensor from the patient will initiate an alarm. To reset the sensor
2
alarm, press any button on the monitor’s display. SpO
is generally measured via pulses detected using a finger sensor. However, for
2
certain situations SpO
may be measured at alternate sites including the earlobe, fore-
2
head and toes. Special sensors must be employed in these situations.

The SpO2 monitor performs most accurately with the finger clip sensor, which may be used on all fingers except the thumb. The finger clip sensor is recommended for spot checks or short term (<30 minutes) continuous monitoring.
The device determines arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO
%) by measuring the
2
absorption of red and infrared light passed through the tissue. Oxygen saturation and pulse rate are displayed on the LED digital display. On each detected pulse, the pulse signal bar graph flashes. The intensity of this signal is a simple visual indicator of wave­form signal strength, and can identify situations where the pulsatile nature of the tissue may not be adequate for an accurate SpO
reading. The update interval of the bar graph
2
should correspond to the patient’s pulse rate. This is an indication of the quality of the SpO2 signal.

1.4.4 Pulse Rate Feature

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is capable of determining pulse rate as an adjunct to the blood pressure measurement and the SpO
The pulse rate, in beats per minute, will be determined primarily from the SpO methodology. In the case where SpO
is not available, or is disabled, the pulse rate display
2
will be driven from data collected as part of the blood pressure measurement method. There are two operator selectable alarm limits for the pulse rate. They are PULSE RATE
HIGH LIMIT and PULSE RATE LOW LIMIT. Pulse rates which activate alarm limits are indicated by a flashing display and a repetitive audible tone.
Should a pulse rate alarm occur when the pulse rate measurement is derived from the blood pressure measurement, no subsequent blood pressure or pulse rate measurements may be made until the alarm is reset. The alarm may be reset by pressing any button on the monitor’s display.

3.2 Diagnostic Procedure for

Returned Units
NOTES:
A. The word “unit” in this text refers to the WELCH ALLYN VITAL SIGNS MONITOR. B. Menu|Choice represents menu commands. Rather than use the phrase “choose the
exit command from the File menu.”
1. Remove the battery from the unit. Connect the unit to the power supply. Set the power
supply to 6.5 Vdc +/- 0.5 Vdc.
2. With a digital multi-meter, check the voltage of the battery. If the voltage of the battery
is less than 6.0 Vdc, the battery needs to be charged. Up on completion of this proce-
dure, place the battery back into the unit and plug in the charger. Let the battery
charge for 8 hours. Next allow the unit to sit for 1 day and recheck the battery voltage.
If the voltage is below 6.0 Vdc, change the battery. (Reference section 4.15)
3. Power up the unit. If the unit does not power up:
A. Insure the power supply is on and has the correct requirements as called out
in 1. (see above). B. The power supply is connected to the unit. C. Check that the fuse is not blown. (Reference section 4.2) D. Change the main PCB. (Reference section 4.3) E. Change the display PCB. (Reference section 4.6)
If the unit does power up:
4. To check the display PCB, observe the unit during power up. All of the LEDs should be lit for 1-2 seconds before the unit gets to its normal mode. If the unit has any LEDs out change the display PCB. (Reference section 4.6)
5 Run a couple of blood pressure cycles to ensure proper inflation/deflation and readings.
6. If the unit is not inflating/deflating properly:
A. Open up the unit by removing the 6 housing screws. B. Check the unit for pinched tubing if the unit is deflating too slowly. With the
housing opened, re-run the blood pressure cycle to see if the deflating problem has been fixed. Re-route tubing.
C. If there are no pinched tubes, change the valve.
(Reference section 4.13)
3
Page 58
Section 3: Problem Diagnosis
D. If this still does not clear up the problem of deflation too slow, change the pres-
sure switch. (Reference section 4.12)
E. Power down the unit. Place unit into detailed test mode by holding down the
“start” and “cancel” buttons as power is re-applied. Press the review button until “cal” appears in the systolic window. Press the “start” button to close the valve. Pump up the unit using the bulb and valve inflate the unit to 250 mmHg. Con­firm the unit meets the specification for leak called out in the Repair Test Speci­fication document. If the unit is leaking:
F. Pinch off the tubing leading to the pump. If this stops the leak, change the
pump. (Reference section 4.11)
G. Pinch off the tubing leading to the valve. If this stops the leak, change the valve.
(Reference section 4.13)
H. Pinch off the tubing leading to the transducer. If this stops the leak, change the
transducer. (Reference section 4.5)
I. Pinch off the tubing leading to the pressure switch. If this stops the leak,
change the pressure switch. (Reference section 4.12)

Revision 4.0
7. If the unit is inflating/deflating properly however there is no reading given, change out the main PCB. (Reference section 4.3)
8. FOR THE PRINTER OPTION: Load the printer with paper if there is no paper. Press the form feed button to see if that will advance the paper. Next, press the print button to see if the unit will print. If these functions do not work, first change the printer PCB and re-test. If the problem is still evident, change out the printer itself. (Reference
section 4.13)
9. FOR THE SpO
OPTION: Connect the patient simulator to the unit SpO2 connection

by the Nonin or Nellcor cable (depending upon which is installed). Confirm readings equal to the specifications called out in Section 7. If there is no reading, change out the SpO
SpO
connector and PCB. (Reference section 4.9 or 4.10 depending on which
2
Module is installed)
2
10.FOR THE TEMPERATURE OPTION: Plug in the Diatek 9600 calibrator and set it for
96.4 F/ 35.8 C or use a water bath between 84 F (28.8 C) and 106 F (41.1 C). Re­move the temperature probe and view the temperature window on the display. Make sure the temperature is in the “monitor mode.” This will be displayed at the bottom of the window. If the unit is not in monitor mode, wait approximately 40-60 seconds and the unit will automatically transfer into the monitor mode. Place the probe into the small hoe on top of the 9600 calibrator or into bath. If there is no reading place the probe back into its housing, remove and retry. If there is still no reading, change the probe and retry the test. If there is still no reading place the probe back into the hous­ing, unplug the probe and plug in the cal-key, remove the probe and Confirm reading meets specifications called out in Section 7. If there is no reading at this point, change the temperature connector and PCB. (Reference section 4.8)

3. Go to the repair software and choose
4. Press the “Calibrate” button to begin the calibration procedure.
5. The software will first check to make sure that the units internal temperature is below 32°C. If it is not the user will be warned that they can not perform a calibration at this time.
6. If the temperature is within the 32°C limit the software will tell the unit to perform an auto-zero. If this is unsuccessful the user will be prompted to perform a zero potenti­ometer calibration. This is an automatic calibration. The user just needs to answer YES or NO. A no will cancel the calibration procedure.
7. Once a successful autozero has been completed the “Gain Calibration at 200 mmHg” box will be activated. This box consists of a slider control and a pressure display. To perform the span calibration pump the unit up to 200 mmHg +/- 5 mmHg using the bulb. Wait 15 seconds to allow the pressure to stabilize. Adjust the slide control until the reading on the PC matches as close as possible to the reading on the pressure standard. Once the difference has been minimized, Press “record” and proceed.
8. Once the gain calibration is complete the pressure calibration points can be calibrated. There are three points that require calibration, 95, 195 and 285 mmHg. First set the pressure to the desired value within +/- 5 mmHg of that value. Wait 15 seconds to allow the pressure to stabilize. Adjust the slide control until the reading on the PC matches as close as possible to the reading on the pressure standard. Press “record” after each setting. YOU MUST DO THIS FOR ALL THREE VALUES. Once this is completed press the “update” button.

CHECKLIST FOR COMPARING AUTOMATED BP MONITORING TO MANUAL METHODS
Blood pressure can vary between the left and right arm by as much as 20 mmHg on some patients. When comparing the Welch Allyn measurement to a manual reading on an opposite arm it is important to repeat the comparison after switching arms and then compare the average of both readings. This will help to eliminate the difference between the two arms.
A person's blood pressure is continuously changing in reaction to their environ­ment and physical state. Posture changes, conversation and other influences can easily cause a person's blood pressure to change dramatically. When comparing the Welch Allyn measurement to a subsequent manual reading on the same arm it is important to enure that the person's blood pressure has stabilized. To determine this, it is best to take a manual reading before and after the Welch Allyn reading. A stable subject should not have a change in systolic or diastolic of more than 5 mmHg.
It is very important that both of the subject's arm remain in the same relative loca­tion throughout the test. One inch of elevation change will result in 1.8 mmHg change in the systolic and diastolic pressures.
When taking the manual auscultatory reading it is very important to maintain a 3 mmHg/sec deflation rate. This deflation has been prescribed by the American Heart Association. Deflating the cuff too rapidly will result in an inaccurate blood pressure reading.
Hearing acuity vary from individual to individual an can cause different blood pres­sure measurements on the same subject. This effect is compounded when a subject has very weak Korotkoff sounds. When taking auscultatory readings for comparison to the Welch Allyn, it is best to use a teaching stethoscope with two sets of binaurals and two persons trained in taking blood pressures. The two ob­servers should write down their readings and not reveal the readings to each other, which may introduce bias. The two observers should agree within 5 mmHg for both systolic and diastolic, and the average of their readings used for the comparison. Inability of the two observers to agree within 5 mmHg denotes a subject which cannot be repeatedly measured by auscultation and should not be used for com­parison.
Proper cuff sizing is important. Using a cuff that is too small or too large will result in inaccurate blood pressure readings.
Some situations can introduce a psychological bias in the auscultatory readings. For instance, a drug testing clinic wishing for subjects with systolic pressure below an acceptance threshold may result in biased low systolic readings, in some in­stances.

CHECKLIST FOR COMPARING BP MEASUREMENTS MADE WITH THE WELCH ALLYN TO OTHER AUTOMATED MONITORS
The Welch Allyn monitor has been validated according to the AAMI protocol using auscultatory readings. Many other manufacturer's monitors have been validated to the AAMI protocol
intra-arterial
blood pressure readings. Intra-arterial blood pres­sure readings do not necessarily agree with auscultatory readings. In fact, it is common for the diastolic pressure determined intra-arterially to be 7-10 mmHg lower than an auscultatory reading.
Blood pressure can vary between the left and right arm by as much as 20 mmHg on some patients. When comparing the Welch Allyn measurement to a manual reading on an opposite arm it is important to repeat the comparison after switching arms and then compare the average of both readings. This will help to eliminate the difference between the two arms.

3.7 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Symptom Possible Cause Explanations and
Corrective Action
1. Inaccurate Blood Pressure
Readings
Please note: Differences ‘10mmhg should be considered ‘normal and will occur for a number of reasons including intrapatient BP variability, observer hearing differences, and auscultatory deflation rate.
Incorrect Cuff Size
Patient’s Arm Position
Arm Movement During blood pressure cycle
Blood Pressure taken over clothing
Arrhythmia
Incorrect Reference
Determine correct cuff size:
use reference markings on cuff
measure patient’s arm circumference
midway between elbow and shoulder (see page 42 of Operator’s Manual to select correct cuff size).
Ensure Patient’s arm is at heart level.
Keep arm still during blood pressure cycle:
movement may cause inaccuracies
from artifact
Blood Pressure should be taken on a bare arm.
Check for regularity of heart rate: (palpate pulse or check monitor)
moderate to severe heart rate irregularities
may make blood pressure difficult to measure.
Use 4th Korotkoff sound to determine diastolic blood pressure.
Many listener’s incorrectly equate diastolic
blood pressure with the disappearance of sound. The Vital Signs Monitor was developed using the 4th sound, as recommended by the American Heart Association.
Change in blood pressure from auscultatory reading to Vital Signs Monitor reading
Poor auscultatory sound recognition by observer
Deflate cuff no faster than 3mmhg per second:
One of the major sources of error in ausculta-
tory blood pressure measurement is deflating the cuff to quickly. The American Heart Association recommends deflation no faster than 3mmhg per second.
Only use a spygnomometer that is known to be in calibration:
Blood pressure taken with un-calibrated
sphygmomanometer may be very inaccurate.
Check blood pressure immediately prior to Vital Signs Monitor Reading
Use higher quality stethoscope Have a different observer check patient’s blood pressure
