Safety

Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 6000 Series™

General safety considerations •

If the monitor detects an unrecoverable problem, it displays an error message. For more information see “Troubleshooting.”

•

To ensure patient safety, use only accessories recommended or supplied by Welch Allyn. (See “VSM 6000 series approved accessories” in the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 6000 Series Directions for use (part number 103501)). Always use accessories according to your facility’s standards and according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions for use.

•

Welch Allyn recommends that only Welch Allyn service personnel or an authorized repair center perform warranty service. Performing unauthorized service on a device that is within warranty may void the warranty.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Caution Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Handle static-sensitive components only at static-safe workstation. Caution Assume that all electrical and electronic components of the monitor are static-sensitive. Electrostatic discharge is a sudden current flowing from a charged object to another object or to ground. Electrostatic charges can accumulate on common items such as foam drinking cups, cellophane tape, synthetic clothing, untreated foam packaging material, and untreated plastic bags and work folders, to name only a few. Electronic components and assemblies, if not properly protected against ESD, can be permanently damaged or destroyed when near or in contact with electrostatically charged objects. When you handle components or assemblies that are not in protective bags and you are not sure whether they are static-sensitive, assume that they are static-sensitive and handle them accordingly. •

Perform all service procedures in a static-protected environment. Always use techniques and equipment designed to protect personnel and equipment from electrostatic discharge.

•

Remove static-sensitive components and assemblies from their static-shielding bags only at static-safe workstations-a properly grounded table and grounded floor mat-and only when you are wearing a grounded wrist strap (with a resistor of at least 1 megohm in series) or other grounding device.

•

Use only grounded tools when inserting, adjusting, or removing static-sensitive components and assemblies.

•

Remove or insert static-sensitive components and assemblies only with monitor power turned off.

•

Insert and seal static-sensitive components and assemblies into their original static-shielding bags before removing them from static-protected areas.

Service manual

Safety

•

Always test your ground strap, bench mat, conductive work surface, and ground cord before removing components and assemblies from their protective bags and before beginning any disassembly or assembly procedures.

Battery performance About the battery The monitor uses a rechargeable lithium ion smart battery. Internal circuitry enables the battery to report its condition to the monitor. The monitor displays the battery status via the LED power indicator, icons on the screen, and status messages appearing in the Device Status area of the display. Battery information may be collected using the service tool. New batteries are shipped from the manufacturer with a 30 percent charge to extend shelf life. When installing a new battery in the monitor, you must plug the monitor into AC power to wake up the battery. If the AC power is not applied to the monitor, the new battery will appear discharged. The Device Status area displays a low-battery status message when 30 minutes of power remain and again when 5 minutes remain. You can expect new, fully charged batteries to have enough power for the following: •

Six-cell batteries provide approximately 26 patient exams.

•

Nine-cell batteries provide approximately 47 patient exams.

Note

A patient exam includes NIBP, temperature, and SpO2 measurements at the rate of one patient every 10 minutes with a 2 minute display timeout setting with a new battery, conducted at room temperature (72.5 °F ±4.5 °F; 22.5 °C ±2.5 °C).

Service manual

Overview

15

The number of exams per charge decrease with the battery age. Depending on the age of the battery, a 6-cell battery takes 3 hours and a 9-cell battery takes 4 hours to fully charge at room temperature. Both batteries have a lifetime of 300 charge cycles or more, where a charge cycle is equal to fully charged to discharged to fully charged at room temperature. Battery charging is provided by the monitor’s internal power supply. For a complete list of battery specifications, see the Welch Allyn VSM 6000 Series Directions for use (part number 103501).

Best practices The following practices help to extend the life of the battery and the monitor. WARNING Safety risk. When handling and storing Lithium batteries: Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse.
