Secure the AC power cord around the cord wrap of the
mobile stand
Note To avoid stress on the AC power connection, loop the power cord around
the mobile stand cord wrap.
WARNING When you use AC power, always plug the electrocardiograph
into a hospital-grade outlet to avoid the risk of shock.
WARNING When transporting the electrocardiograph on a cart, tuck the
patient cable away to keep them clear of the wheels and to minimize trip
hazards.
WARNING Avoid positioning any leads or cables so that they could easily
trip someone or become wrapped around a patient’s neck.
Welch Allyn recommends looping the power cord around the mobile stand cord wrap as
shown.
Verifying proper operation
To ensure the accuracy of test data, you should verify proper operation of the
electrocardiograph before it is used for the first time with patients. You should reverify
proper operation once a year.
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).
