CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual Safety and Precautions

Caution

Radio Frequency (RF) interference between the PRO ECG Recorder or cardiograph and any existing RF transmitting or receiving equipment at the installation site, including electrosurgical equipment, in close proximity to the cardiograph should be evaluated before the equipment is operated as they may seriously degrade performance. The Cardio Perfect Cardiograph is susceptible to interference from RF energy sources (lowered RF immunity) which exceed the IEC 60601-1-2 limits, such as power line bursts, other medical devices, cellular products, information technology equipment and radio/television transmission. To reduce EMC interference the cardiograph shall be separated from the emitting source as much as possible. If assistance is needed, call your local Welch Allyn service representative. Artifact on the ECG caused by electromagnetic interference should be evaluated by a physician or physician authorized personnel to determine if it will negatively impact patient diagnosis or treatment. Like all electronic devices, this cardiograph is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge typically occurs when electrostatic energy is transferred to the patient, the electrodes, or the cardiograph. ESD may result in ECG artifact that may appear as narrow spikes on the cardiograph display or on the printed report. When ESD occurs, the cardiograph’s ECG interpretation may be inconsistent with the physician’s interpretation. Welch Allyn assumes no liability for failures resulting from RF interference between Welch Allyn medical electronics and any radio frequency generating equipment when these levels exceed those established by applicable standards. Patient cables and PC connection cables are intended to be inserted and removed from the Pro-Recorder in a push / pull motion. Do not twist the cables. Damage to the cables and the Pro-Recorder will occur.

Medical Device Directive The CardioPerfect Pro cardiograph complies with the requirements of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC and carries the

DIR 80012763 Ver. D

0297 mark accordingly.

CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual

Warnings

CardioPerfect devices are an integral part of a personal computer based diagnostic system. The user shall adhere to warnings in order to ensure safe and reliable performance of the system.

The personal computer, computer peripheral and all accessories (nonmedical electrical equipment) connected to the ECG shall be situated outside the patient environment and the system shall meet the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1.  The personal computer used should be approved to the appropriate safety standard for non-medical electrical equipment (IEC 60950, or its national variants), and use of an additional protective earth ground or an isolation transformer is required to meet IEC 60601-1-1.  Power strips (multiple portable socket outlets) are not allowed for use in connecting the medical electrical equipment or any accessories to ground unless used in concert with a medical approved isolation transformer.  Additional equipment that is added to the system may pose a safety hazard. Use of an additional protective earth ground or an isolation transformer is required to meet IEC 60601-1-1. During defibrillation, the ECG signals displayed may show waveform artifacts and cannot be relied on as a true indication of the patient’s physical condition. Accessible metal parts, such as electrode terminations, should not come in contact with other electrically conductive parts, including earth ground. Welch Allyn provides a number of high quality patient leads in varying termination styles. Use of these approved patient leads is required for electrical protection of the patient during cardiac defibrillation. Cardio Perfect devices are not intended for direct cardiac application. An inoperable or damaged electrocardiograph can be identified by abnormal signals on the ECG waveforms. Abnormal signals are characterized by flat lines, excess noise, square waves or other non typical anomalies that appear on the ECG waveform. The electrocardiograph can be periodically tested by connecting the Cardio Perfect to an ECG simulator. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. If there is a requirement for equipment to be connected to a personal computer or other non-medical rated equipment, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure the system provides a level of safety that ensures compliance to IEC 60601-1-1. Other medical equipment-including but not limited to defibrillators, ultrasound machines, pacemakers, and other stimulators-may be used simultaneously with the electrocardiograph. However, such devices may disturb the electrocardiograph signal.

DIR 80012763 Ver. D

4 / 26

CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual The electrocardiograph has not been designed for use with high frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not protect against hazards to the patient. Ensure the location of the electrode and associated cables provides maximum separation away from all sources of high-frequency energy. The best way to ensure patient safety is to completely remove all electrodes and cables from the patient when exposed to highfrequency energy.

DIR 80012763 Ver. D

5 / 26

CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual Patient and Operational Safety The cardiograph isolates all connections to the patient from electrical ground and all other conductive circuits in the cardiograph. This reduces the possibility of hazardous currents passing from the cardiograph through the patient’s heart to ground. To ensure the patient’s safety and your own please observe the following: When integrating CardioPerfect devices with non-medical rated equipment, such as a computer, the addition of an additional protective earth ground or the use of a medically approved isolation transformer is required for compliance to the IEC 60601-1-1 Medical System Safety Standard. Any system components (e.g. treadmill, personal computer, ergo meter) that require to be connected to an outlet socket shall use only grounded power cords (three-wire power cords with grounded plugs). Also make sure the outlet accepts the plug and is grounded. Never adapt a grounded plug to fit an ungrounded outlet by removing the ground prong or ground clip. Do not connect Multiple Portable Socket Outlets (MPSO’s) or extension cords to the system. Do not connect items which are not part of the system. The use of multiple portable socket outlets and other non-medical electrical equipment poses a safety hazard. Refer to the Medical System Safety Standard IEC 60601-1 for the requirements of such attachments. Multiple portable outlet sockets shall not be placed on the floor. Multiple portable outlet sockets or extension cord shall not be connected to the system. Do not connect items which are not part of the system. The use of multiple (non-) medical electrical equipment connected to the same patient may pose a safety hazard due to the summation of leakage currents from each instrument. Any combination of (non-) medical electrical equipment should be evaluated by local safety personnel before put into service. Multiple portable outlet sockets use without an isolation transformer is disapproved unless casual access for additional equipment is impeded or prevented.

Accessories Use of accessories other than those recommended by Welch Allyn may compromise product performance. The Welch Allyn warranty can only be honored if you use Welch Allyn approved accessories and replacement parts.

CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual 3. Maintenance NOTE It is recommended to check the performance of the cardiograph regularly. Contact your local Welch Allyn Sales Office or your authorized Welch Allyn dealer or distributor. Only qualified personnel may service the cardiograph.

Cleaning the CardioPerfect Cardiograph and Battery Pack Clean the cardiograph and battery pack with a soft cloth moistened with a recommended disinfectant or cleaning agent. It is advisable to clean the battery pack and ECG recorder using moist cloth. Never clean the recorder excessively with water or other substance so that components inside or connectors on front side of the recorder can be damaged, this may ultimately lead to decreased performance. Cleaning the Patient and PC interface Cables Clean the cables with a soft cloth moistened with a recommended disinfectant or cleaning agent. Cleaning cables: patient cables, plugs and power cords should be kept clean using lukewarm soapy water or a neutral cleaner. Disinfecting the cables: use chemical disinfectants containing ethanol (70%-80%), propanol (70%-80%) or aldehydes (2%-4%).

Caution

Do not clean the patient cable with alcohol. Alcohol can cause the plastic to become brittle and may cause the cable to fail prematurely. Do not autoclave the cable or use ultrasonic cleaners. Do not immerse the patient cable. Do not use abrasive materials to clean metal surfaces-scratches on them can cause artifacts on the ECG. Do not wet the connectors.

CardioPerfect PRO ECG Recorder - User Manual NOTE The CardioPerfect Pro cardiograph can be powered by a USB connection or through a battery pack. If you are using a USB connection (dummy battery pack) you do not have to charge the battery pack. If a battery pack is used with a RS232 connection, you have to charge the battery pack with a battery charger supplied by Welch Allyn.

Battery Led Indicator The battery pack is provided with a (green) led indicator that indicates the performance status of the battery pack, the following applies: Led Intermittent – battery pack is charging after complete discharge, it is recommended to not use the battery pack for use with the cardiograph for diagnostic purpose. Led On – battery pack is charging and not completely charged but can be used with the cardiograph for diagnostic purpose. Led Off – battery pack is completely charged and ready to be used with the cardiograph for diagnostic purpose.

Battery Care A fully charged battery will provide a minimum of 8 hours of operation. The CardioPerfect Pro cardiograph can be powered by a battery pack. This battery pack contains rechargeable batteries. Battery performance is maintained when recharging takes place when the battery is almost empty. This can be seen on the recorder when the led on the front lights up in red. This is the best time for recharging the battery pack. After the light has turned red you have still enough power for about ten minutes of recording. Both the internal gauge measurement and the percentage of battery capacity shown in Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Workstation become less accurate.

Battery Charging 1. Pull the battery compartment from the recorder by holding the recorder with one hand and pressing on both sides off the battery compartment with your other hand. 2. Connect the battery to an electrical outlet using the power adapter by inserting the charger cable into the top of the battery compartment and charge your battery. 3. Click the battery compartment back into place after the battery is recharged.

Warning

Charging must be done outside of the patient environment.

Storing the Battery If the cardiograph will not be used for more than three months, remove the battery pack from the unit and place it into storage. While in storage, charge the battery to retain the battery life and capacity. This ensures that the battery does not completely discharge while in storage. DIR 80012763 Ver. D
