• Create a work list. The work list provides information about service actions—referred to as
work orders—that are waiting for you to perform on your maintained devices. Work orders
may include periodic calibrations, upgrades, or license installations.
• Schedule periodic maintenance. You can use the service tool to set the service interval
for each maintained device.
• View and save logs. You can download and save log files from the device for analysis to
help diagnose and identify reported issues.
• Create user accounts. Administrators can create user accounts and set permission levels
to control access to the features, allowing one group to perform administrative tasks and
another to perform service tasks. Restricting access prevents the service tool from being used
to make unauthorized changes on a connected device.
• Perform functional verification. You can use the service tool to test each component of
the system to ensure that its performance meets design specifications. Functional verification
is required to meet the periodic maintenance requirements. This feature is not supported for
all products and requires the service tool Gold edition for each supported product.
• Perform calibration verification. The service tool can check any system requiring
calibration and, if necessary, calibrate the monitor to match the design specifications.
Calibration verification is required to meet the periodic maintenance requirements. This
feature is not supported for all products and requires the service tool, Gold edition, for each
supported product.
• Recover devices. In the rare case where a device can no longer boot because of corrupted
firmware, the service tool can connect the device to Welch Allyn Technical Support to
reinstall the firmware.
• Extensible. The monitor accepts new plug-ins to support future Welch Allyn products.
Some of these features are enabled for any user (Silver edition). Others require special user
account privileges or a Welch Allyn service contract (Gold edition). If you require gold-level
support for a Welch Allyn product, please contact Welch Allyn technical support.
Battery performance
About the battery
The monitor uses a rechargeable lithium ion smart battery. Internal circuitry enables the battery to
report its condition to the monitor. The monitor displays the battery status via the LED power
indicator, icons on the screen, and status messages appearing in the Device Status area of the
display. Battery information may be collected using the service tool.
New batteries are shipped from the manufacturer with a 30 percent charge to extend shelf life.
When installing a new battery in the monitor, you must plug the monitor into AC power to wake up
the battery. If the AC power is not applied to the monitor, the new battery will appear discharged.
The Device Status area displays a low-battery status message when 30 minutes of power remain
and again when 5 minutes remain.
You can expect new, fully charged batteries to have enough power for the following:
• Six-cell batteries provide approximately 26 patient exams.
• Nine-cell batteries provide approximately 47 patient exams.
Note A patient exam includes NIBP, temperature, and SpO2 measurements at the rate of
one patient every 10 minutes with a 2 minute display timeout setting with a new
battery, conducted at room temperature (72.5 °F ±4.5 °F; 22.5 °C ±2.5 °C).
