What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment does not turn on?
If your Welch Allyn medical equipment isn't turning on, check the connections between the device and the transformer, and between the transformer and the wall receptacle. If the unit still doesn't power up, unplug it from the wall and inspect the cord for any breaks. If the connections are secure, verify the electrical outlet is working.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment measurement was outside of device’s measurement range?
If your Welch Allyn medical equipment indicates that a measurement was outside of the device’s measurement range, check the patient's condition.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment blood pressure cuff is deflating too slowly?
If the blood pressure cuff on your Welch Allyn Medical Equipment is deflating too slowly, note that a typical reading takes 20 to 45 seconds, with 165 seconds being the maximum. Check the default pressure preset in the internal configuration mode. Ensure the patient sits still and doesn't have their arm tight against their chest, as respiration can affect measurement speed and accuracy.
What to do if Welch Allyn Medical Equipment shows SpO2 pulse rate out of range?
If the SpO2 pulse rate is out of range on your Welch Allyn medical equipment, check the patient's condition.
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 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 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 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 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.
