USER SAFETY INFORMATION



This device was designed to use the electrodes specified in this manual. Proper clinical procedure must be employed to prep the electrode sites and to monitor the patient for excessive skin irritation, inflammation, or other adverse reactions. Electrodes are intended for short-term use and should be removed from the patient promptly following testing.



To avoid potential for spread of disease or infection, single-use disposable components (e.g., electrodes) must not be reused. To maintain safety and effectiveness, electrodes must not be used beyond their expiration date.



A possible explosion hazard exists. Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.



Where the integrity of external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, the device shall be operated from its internal electrical power source.



To improve immunity to potential interfering electromagnetic signals, shielded cabling is recommended when connecting the device to a network.



Medical devices have been designed to have a higher degree of protection against electric shock than, for instance, information technology equipment because patients often are connected to multiple devices and also may be more prone to the adverse effect of electric currents than healthy persons. All equipment that is connected to the patient, can be touched by the patient, or can be touched by another person while that person touches the patient at the same time, should have the same level of protection against electric shock as medical equipment. The ELI 280 is a medical device that has been designed to be connected to other devices for the purpose of receiving and transmitting data. Certain measures must be taken to prevent the risk of excessive electric current flow through the operator or patient when connected: 

All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment must be placed outside of the “patient environment,” defined by applicable safety standards to be at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the patient. Alternatively, non-medical equipment may be provided with additional protection such as an additional protective earth connection.



All medical electrical equipment that has a physical connection to the ELI 280 or the patient, or is in the patient environment must comply with applicable safety standards for medical electrical devices.



All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment and has a physical connection to the ELI 280 must comply with applicable safety standards, such as IEC 60950 for information technology equipment. This includes information network equipment connected through the LAN connector.



Conductive (metal) parts that can be touched by the operator in normal use and that are connected to nonmedical equipment should not be brought into the patient environment. Examples are connectors for shielded Ethernet or USB cables.



If multiple devices are connected to each other or to the patient, device chassis and patient leakage currents may be increased, and should be measured for compliance with applicable standards for medical electrical systems.



Avoid the use of portable multiple socket outlets. If used and not compliant with medical electrical device standards, an additional protective earth connection is required.



To prevent electric shock due to unequal ground potentials that may exist between points of a distributed network system or fault conditions in external network connected equipment, network cable shielding (where used) must be connected to protective earth ground appropriate to the area where the device is used.

Patient movement may generate excessive noise that may affect the quality of the ECG traces and the proper analysis performed by the device.



Proper patient preparation is important to proper application of ECG electrodes and operation of the device.



The algorithm detecting electrode misplacements is based on normal physiology and ECG lead order, and tries to identify the most likely switch; however, it is advisable to check the other electrode positions in the same group (limb or chest).



There is no known safety hazard if other equipment, such as pacemakers or other stimulators, is used simultaneously with the device; however, disturbance to the signal may occur.



The display of a thick baseline while using the WAM wireless acquisition module (square waves on rhythm printout) could be due to the WAM being turned off or having no battery, or the WAM being out of range or experiencing a calibration error. Review the LED indicator on the WAM to ensure the unit is turned on and has proper battery level. Ensure the WAM is paired correctly and is within recommended proximity of the electrocardiograph, and/or power cycle the WAM to re-calibrate. Review the WAM user manual for details.

USER SAFETY INFORMATION

Wireless Data Transmission 

Some Burdick electrocardiographs can be equipped with an optional wireless data transmission module (WLAN or GSM). Both these technologies use radios to transmit data to a Burdick receiving application. Due to the nature of radio transmissions, it’s possible that, due to the characteristics of the environment where the device is located, some other RF sources may interfere with the transmission generated by the device. Welch Allyn Instrument has tested the coexistence of the device with other devices that can interfere such as devices using WLAN, Bluetooth radio, and/or cell phones. Although the current technology allows a very successful rate of transmission, it’s possible that in some rare occurrences, the system may not perform at its best resulting in a “failed transmission”. When this occurs, patient data will not be erased from the device nor stored in the receiving application, ensuring that partial or corrupted data are not made available to the receiving station. If the failure mode persists the user should move to a position where the RF signals may propagate better and allow successful transmissions.

WLAN Option 

Wireless options transmit in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz range. Other nearby wireless devices in the same frequency range may cause interference. If possible, move or turn off other devices to minimize potential interference.



The Wireless LAN module used is compliant with the IEEE 802.11 a, b, g and n standards.



Access Points used should respect IEEE 802.11 standards as well as local Radio Frequency regulations. The device will scan the available channels and connect to the Access Point on the channel where the SSID that is configured on the device is available.



The following table shows the radio channels allocated in different geographic areas in the world. For bands 802.11b and g, only channels 1, 6, 11 and 14 (Japan only) are non-overlapping; for band 802-11a, channels shown represent non-overlapping channel numbers. Band
