What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows internal SpO2 error?
If your Welch Allyn medical equipment displays an internal SpO2 error, retake the reading.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment blood pressure cuff pops off?
If the blood pressure cuff keeps popping off during use with your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment, first determine the correct cuff size using the markings on the cuff. If the issue persists, contact the biomedical department or Welch Allyn Technical Support. Also, ensure the cuff is applied correctly with the Welch Allyn label facing away from the arm.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment cuff inflation and deflation occurs with no blood pressure reading displayed?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is inflating and deflating the cuff but not displaying a blood pressure reading, ensure all blood pressure cuff attachments are tight and carefully check for leaks in the cuff, tubing, and pressure hose. Keep the arm still during the blood pressure cycle, as movement can cause inaccuracies. Also, avoid touching the cuff tubing or pressure hose during the cycle, as this can also introduce inaccuracies.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment blood pressure cuff is too tight?
If the blood pressure cuff on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment feels too tight, check the default Pressure Preset setting in the internal configuration mode. Unless the patient has systolic hypertension, set the pressure preset to 160 mmHg.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment has excessive noise?
If your Welch Allyn medical equipment is producing excessive noise, check the patient's condition and the placement of the blood pressure cuff. Limit patient movement during operation.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows SpO2 time limit exceeded?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment displays an SpO2 time limit exceeded message, remove the sensor from the patient, reapply it, and retake the reading.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment has a broken or missing probe?
If the probe on your Welch Allyn medical equipment is broken or missing, replace it.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment has excessive inflation time?
If your Welch Allyn medical equipment is experiencing excessive inflation time, check for air leaks.
Why Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows ambient temperature out of range?
If your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment indicates that the ambient temperature is out of range, adjust the ambient temperature or relocate the device.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment connections between device and blood pressure cuff are loose?
If the connections between the device and the blood pressure cuff on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment are loose, check all connections, ensuring not to overtighten them.
