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 user-
programmable 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.

Intended Use
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.
