Maintenance and service
Perform periodic checks
Welch Allyn recommends that each facility conduct periodic checks of each monitor.
1. Check the following at least daily:
• Audio, especially at startup
• Fan, especially at startup
• Touchscreen alignment
• Date
• Time
2. Visually inspect the following at least weekly:
• The monitor for any damage or contamination
• The AC cord for exposed copper
• All cables, cords, and connector ends for damage or contamination
• All mechanical parts, including covers, for integrity
• All safety-related labeling for legibility and adhesion to the monitor
• All accessories (cuffs, tubing, probes, sensors) for wear or damage
• Documentation for current revision of the monitor
3. Do the following at least monthly:
• Test the speaker by selecting each alarm volume level and listening for the
different tones
• Visually inspect the mobile stand wheels for wear and faulty operation
• Visually inspect the mounting screws on the wall or cart for looseness and wear
Update settings, replace items, or call for service as necessary based on results of visual
inspection. Do not use the monitor if you see any signs of damage. Qualified service
personnel must check any monitor that is damaged for proper operation before putting
the monitor back into use.
WARNING Electric shock hazard. Never perform maintenance or service
tasks while the device is connected to a patient.
CAUTION Wall system components shall be replaced by Welch Allyn
service centers or qualified service personnel.
