Wireless Data Transmission 

ELI 380 electrocardiographs are equipped with a wireless data transmission module (WLAN). This technology uses radios to transmit data to a Welch Allyn 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 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 WLAN signals may propagate better to allow successful transmissions.

WLAN 

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.



In order to achieve the best transmission rate, it is necessary that the facility where the device is operated can provide good area coverage. Please consult the IT personnel of the facility to verify the proper WLAN availability in the area where the device will be used.



RF wave propagation may be blocked or reduced by the environment where the device is used. Most common areas where this may occur are: shielded rooms, elevators, underground rooms. In all such situations it is recommended to move the device to a proper location where the WLAN frequencies are available.
