20 Chapter 2 Setting Up the Electrocardiograph Welch Allyn CP 100 Electrocardiograph
Inspecting the Electrocardiograph
1. Look for obvious signs of shipping damage. If you find any damage, contact Technical
Support. For phone numbers, see page ii.
2. Verify that you have received all appropriate options and accessories. See “Options”
on page 5 and “Accessories” on page 6.
Connecting the Patient Cable
1. Insert all leads into their proper positions, as labeled on the connectors.
Insert connectors fully so that no part of the metal ring remains exposed.
For example, see Figure 12. (To see the whole patient cable with all leads inserted,
see Figure 11 on page 12.)
2. Plug the patient cable into the port on the front of the electrocardiograph.
See Figure 13.
WARNING Conductive parts of the patient cable, electrodes and associated
connections of defibrillation-proof Type CF applied parts, including the neutral
conductor of the patient cable and electrode, should not come into contact with
other conductive parts, including earth ground.
WARNING To avoid injury to the patient or damage to the device, never plug
patient leads into any other device or wall outlet.
WARNING Failure to insert all connectors fully may result in a loss of energy
being delivered to the patient during defibrillation and damage to the patient
cable itself. For other warnings related to defibrillation, see page 16.
