Welch Allyn CP 150 12-lead resting electrocardiograph v.2.00.XX - User Manual - Manual (Page 17)

To verify proper operation
1. Use an ECG simulator to acquire and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known
amplitude and rate.
2. Look for the following indications of proper operation:
• Printing should be dark and even across the page.
• There should be no evidence of print-head dot failure (no printing breaks forming
horizontal streaks).
• Thermal paper should move smoothly and consistently during printing.
• The waveforms should have no distortion or excessive noise.
• The amplitude and rate of the waveforms should match the input value from the
ECG simulator.
• Z-fold thermal paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar, indicating
proper cue-sensor operation.
3. If you see any indications of improper operation, contact Welch Allyn Technical
Support.
Connecting to a CardioPerfect workstation
You can connect a electrocardiograph to a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation via
USB cable or via Ethernet cable. Software provided in the Connex Software Connectivity
Kit is required to communicate with the workstation. After you connect, you can perform
several functions from the electrocardiograph, including:
•
Send ECG tests to the workstation.
• Search for patient data in the workstation database.
Cables longer than 3 meters have not been verified for use with the electrocardiograph.
Do not use cables longer than 3 meters.
To connect to a network-connected workstation via
Ethernet cable
1. Connect the electrocardiograph to the same network as the workstation. If you need
help, consult your network administrator.
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire and shock hazards,
connect Ethernet cables within the boundaries of a single
building. Ethernet cables that span multiple buildings can
introduce fire or shock hazards unless fiber optic cables or
lightning arrestors are properly installed or other appropriate
safety measures are taken.
