What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is unable to calibrate?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is unable to calibrate, check the connection between the flow transducer and sensor. If the flow transducer is damaged, replace it. Also, ensure that the connection between the calibration syringe and flow transducer is tight with no leaks, and use even strokes during calibration.
What to do if a red dot is flashing on the Lead Off screen of my Welch Allyn Medical Equipment?
If a red dot is flashing on the Lead Off screen, a dot is flashing, lead-off information is displayed, or one or more leads prints as a square wave on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment, it indicates a problem with the electrode connections. First, reattach the lead if the electrode contact may be poor. If the lead is loose, replace the electrode. Also, ensure the electrode area is properly prepared by shaving, cleaning with alcohol or acetone, and allowing it to dry. Finally, verify that the electrodes have been properly stored and handled.
Why is there a wandering baseline on my Welch Allyn Medical Equipment?
If you observe a wandering baseline (an upward and downward fluctuation of the waveforms) on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment, it could be due to several factors. Try these steps: * Clean the patient's skin with alcohol or acetone, especially if electrodes are dirty, corroded, loose, or positioned on a bony area. * Reposition or replace the electrodes if there is insufficient or dried electrode gel. * Help the patient relax, as oily skin or body lotions can interfere. * If wandering baseline persists due to rapid or apprehensive breathing, refer to the CP 200 or CP 100 Directions for Use Manual for instructions on turning on the baseline filter.
How to fix muscle tremor interference on Welch Allyn Medical Equipment?
If you're experiencing muscle tremor interference (random, irregular voltage superimposed on the waveforms) on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment, which may resemble AC interference, consider the following: 1. Help the patient get comfortable if they are tense or nervous. 2. Ensure the patient is warm to prevent shivering. 3. Check all electrode contacts. 4. Make sure the exam bed is wide or long enough to support arms and legs comfortably. If the issue continues, consult the CP 200 or CP 100 Directions for Use Manual for instructions on turning on the muscle-tremor filter. If interference still persists, the problem is probably electrical in nature; refer to the manual for reducing AC interference.
Why are Welch Allyn CP 200 values too high (intermittent)?
Intermittently high values on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment can occur if the patient's fingers obstructed the screen on the back of the flow transducer, causing high back pressure and a false reading. Retest to resolve this. Also, ensure the patient's lips are tightly sealed around the flow transducer and retest. Finally, ensure the spirometer was calibrated with a 3-liter syringe.
Why are Welch Allyn CP 200 values too high (consistently)?
Consistently high values on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment may indicate that the pressure connection is partially obstructed. Remove any foreign substance from the flow transducer or pressure tubing to resolve this.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment does not print?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is not printing, load paper if it is out. If paper is jammed, clear it and reload.
What to do if Welch Allyn CP 200 Medical Equipment report does not print parameters or graphs?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment report does not print parameters or graphs, check the print settings.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows no sensor detected?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows 'no sensor detected', disconnect and reconnect the sensor to ensure a good connection between the sensor and the electrocardiograph.
What to do if Welch Allyn CP 200 patient test values differ from values expected by physician?
If the transducer of your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is contaminated with sputum or secretions, replace it. If the sensor is damaged, replace it. Eliminate any leaks in the pressure tubing. Retest using a nose clip.
