PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual
DIR 80012763 Ver. H 4 / 25
Power strips (multiple portable socket outlets) are not allowed for use
in connecting the medical electrical equipment or any accessories to
ground unless used in concert with a medical approved isolation
transformer.
During defibrillation, the ECG signals displayed may show waveform
artifacts and cannot be relied on as a true indication of the patient’s
physical condition.
Accessible metal parts, such as electrode terminations, should not
come in contact with other electrically conductive parts, including earth
ground.
Welch Allyn provides a number of high quality patient leads in varying
termination styles. Use of these approved patient leads is required for
electrical protection of the patient during cardiac defibrillation.
CardioPerfect devices are not intended for direct cardiac application.
An inoperable or damaged electrocardiograph can be identified by
abnormal signals on the ECG waveforms. Abnormal signals are
characterized by flat lines, excess noise, square waves or other non
typical anomalies that appear on the ECG waveform. The
electrocardiograph can be periodically tested by connecting the
CardioPerfect to an ECG simulator. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions.
If there is a requirement for equipment to be connected to a personal
computer or other non-medical rated equipment, it is the responsibility
of the user to ensure that the electric power circuit to which the
CardioPerfect system is connected includes an additional protective
earth ground or an isolation transformer in order to satisfy the IEC
60601-1 safety standard.
Other medical equipment—including but not limited to defibrillators,
ultrasound machines, pacemakers, and other stimulators—may be
used simultaneously with the electrocardiograph. However, such
devices may disturb the electrocardiograph signal.
The electrocardiograph has not been designed for use with high
frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not protect against
hazards to the patient.
Fire and explosion hazard. Do not operate the electrocardiograph in
the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or
nitrous oxide; in oxygen-enriched environments; or in any other
potentially explosive environment.
To prevent the spread of infection, take these precautions:
• Dispose of single-use components (for example, electrodes)
after using them once.
• Regularly clean all components that come in contact with
patients.
• Consult your facility's equipment cleaning procedures when
performing ECG testing on patients with open, infectious
sores.
