Intended use The Welch Allyn electrocardiography products (subject devices) are intended for use by trained operators in health facilities. The subject devices provide the following diagnostic functions: •...
A report typically showing a 10-second acquisition of 12 leads of ECG information combined with patient data, measurements, and optional interpretation. Auto ECGs can be saved to the electrocardiograph’s test directory or to a USB mass-storage device. In CP 50 Plus models, auto ECGs can also be sent to a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation.
CAUTION Check for the presence of a pacemaker before using ECG with interpretation. CP 50 Plus (optional) The CP 50 Plus consists of the CP 50 device and an optional connectivity feature that is enabled with a software activation code.

8 Introduction CP 50™ and CP 50 Plus™ 12-lead resting electrocardiograph General warnings Warnings indicate conditions or practices that could lead to illness, injury, or death. Warnings related to the environment WARNING To avoid a possible explosion, do not use the electrocardiograph in the presence of flammable anesthetics: mixtures containing air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Page 13
WARNING Use only parts and accessories, including thermal paper, that were supplied with the device and available through Welch Allyn. The use of accessories other than those specified may result in degraded performance or unsafe use of this device, including compromised defibrillator protection, increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity.
10 Introduction CP 50™ and CP 50 Plus™ 12-lead resting electrocardiograph WARNING To avoid injury, do not touch the print head immediately after printing. It might be hot. WARNING No modification of this equipment is allowed. WARNING To provide CF protection use only accessories approved by Welch Allyn.
Page 15
Directions for use Introduction 11 CAUTION The power cord must be disconnected from AC power before cleaning, maintaining, transporting, or servicing. CAUTION The requirements of AAMI EC11, Section 3.2.7.2, Frequency and Impulse Response, for an impulse triangle waveform may be impacted by up to 5 milliseconds of small amplitude dampened ringing immediately after the impulse when the muscle filter (35 Hz) is turned on or a small amplitude offset when the baseline filter (0.5 Hz) is turned on.
WARNING To provide CF protection use only accessories approved by Welch Allyn. Visit www.welchallyn.com. The use of any other accessories can result in inaccurate patient data, can damage the equipment, and can void your product warranty.
14 Setup CP 50™ and CP 50 Plus™ 12-lead resting electrocardiograph Loading the thermal paper The electrocardiograph prints on z-fold thermal paper or roll thermal paper. • Store the paper in a cool, dry, dark place. • Do not expose it to bright light or UV sources.

16 Setup CP 50™ and CP 50 Plus™ 12-lead resting electrocardiograph Powering the electrocardiograph The electrocardiograph runs on AC or battery power. Plug the electrocardiograph into AC power as often as possible so that the built-in charger can keep the battery charged.
Three setting types are available: • The ECG settings, which control the content and format of your reports. In CP 50 Plus models, these settings include a second report format (auto report 2), customizable patient data fields, and auto save options.
The amplitude and rate of the waveforms should match the input value from the ECG simulator. • Z-fold thermal paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar, indicating proper cue-sensor operation. 3. If you see any indications of improper operation, call Welch Allyn Technical Support.
Connecting to an external USB printer (optional - available with CP 50 Plus only) You can connect a CP 50 Plus electrocardiograph to an external printer. The printer must be a USB inkjet or laser printer that supports PCL3 and PCL5 (printer control languages).

Directions for use Setup 21 The electrocardiograph is ready to communicate with the workstation. (To set up the workstation, see the instructions that came with the workstation connectivity software.)
ECG tests Attaching the leads to the patient Proper lead attachment is important for a successful ECG. The most common ECG problems are caused by poor electrode contact and loose leads. Follow your local procedures for attaching the leads to the patient. Here are some common guidelines. WARNING Electrodes can cause allergic reactions.

(CardioPerfect workstation or EMR). • The Worklist button (CP 50 Plus only) gives you access to patient data in the worklist. 5. If a Waiting for 10 (or 20) seconds of quality data message appears, at least 10 or 20 seconds of ECG data have been collected with excessive artifact.
2. Touch Settings > Security. 3. Turn the security option on or off. Managing the user list (optional - available with CP 50 Plus only) The user list, which is enabled when the security option is on, identifies all individuals who are authorized to access patient data.
1. Touch the menu button. 2. Touch Settings > System. 3. Turn the audit trail on or off. Managing the worklist (optional - available with CP 50 Plus only) The worklist is a group of patients whose demographic data has been entered into the electrocardiograph memory to be recalled for a test later that day.
When you perform an auto ECG, you can fill in the patient’s data from the test directory automatically by touching the search button. With all electrocardiograph models, you can delete or print saved tests. With CP 50 Plus models, you can also do the following: •...
Maintenance Cleaning the equipment WARNING Keep the electrocardiograph, reusable electrodes, and the patient cable clean. Patient contact with contaminated equipment can spread infection. CAUTION Never let soap or water come into contact with the electrocardiograph’s internal printer, connectors, or jacks. CAUTION Never immerse the electrocardiograph or the patient cable in liquid.
Check all cable and cord connections; reseat if any connectors are loose. Testing the electrocardiograph Welch Allyn recommends verifying proper operation of the electrocardiograph once a year to ensure reliability. See Verifying proper operation. Whenever the electrocardiograph is serviced or whenever problems are suspected, verify continued electrical safety of the device using IEC 60601-1 or ANSI/AAMI ES1 methods and limits.

Troubleshooting Lead-quality problems “Artifact” message on the screen Artifact is signal distortion that makes it difficult to accurately discern the waveform morphology. Causes • The patient was moving. • The patient was shivering. • There is electrical interference. Actions See actions for wandering baseline, muscle tremor, and AC interference. Wandering baseline Wandering baseline is an upward and downward fluctuation of the waveforms.
