Introduction
Welch Allyn Acuity overview
Welch Allyn connected workstations, servers and patient monitors utilize standards based
communications protocols including, but not limited to, 802.3 for wired Ethernet and
802.11a/b/g for wireless. This guide specifies the requirements and recommendations
needed to successfully complete and maintain a Welch Allyn patient monitoring system in
your wireless or wired network.
Implementation and maintenance of a stable and usable integrated network is the sole
responsibility of the customer.
Although ultimately your responsibility, Welch Allyn recommends that you conduct a
hazards analysis per IEC 80001 to determine if any issues exist that should be mitigated
to ensure your patients safety.
