Safety
Welch Allyn 1500 Patient Monitor
Operation with other devices
•
Only use accessories and other parts recommended or supplied by Welch Allyn. Use
of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inaccurate
information or damage to the monitor.
•
Accessory equipment connected to the analogue and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the current version of the system standard IEC/EN
60601-1-1. Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or
signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the
system complies with the requirements of the valid version of the system standard
IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local
representative.
•
Any other equipment used with the patient must use the same common ground as
the monitor.
•
Precautions must be observed when using high frequency devices. Operating high
frequency electro-surgical equipment in the vicinity of the monitor can produce
interference in the monitor and cause incorrect measurements. Only use patient
cables recommended by Welch Allyn to avoid possible signal interference during ECG
acquisition.
•
There is no danger when using the ECG monitor simultaneously with electrical
stimulation equipment. However, during defibrillation, keep discharge paddles away
from the monitor ECG lead wires, electrodes, any other monitor sensors, and other
conductive parts in contact with the patient.
•
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, a lead-off indication is
displayed and an audible alarm is issued.
•
Portable communication equipment, HF two-way radios and devices marked with the
symbol can affect this monitor (see
Networks and internet
•
When the monitor is part of a network, (LAN, HIS, etc.), transmitting over a telephone
network or any other transmission /reception medium, or if exposed to the Internet or
other networks that are not secure, appropriate security measures must be provided
to protect the patient information stored.
•
Patient security and security of the network is the sole responsibility of the user.
Caution Do not use the monitor in or near an MRI suite.
