CP 20_______________________________________________________________________Section 2 Patient Preparation Correct electrode placement is important for acquiring a successful ECG (see Patient Hookup below). Consider performing some patient preparation procedures to remove oils, lotions, and hair from the skin. Optimal skin preparation includes exposing skin on hairy areas, scratching with abrading pad, wiping with alcohol and a dry gauze pad.
CP 20_______________________________________________________________________Section 2 Real-Time ECG View The CP 20 LCD display offers the user valuable information including waveform display, function keys and parameters (leadfail messages, clock, filter, etc.). Detailed descriptions of the Real-Time ECG View are offered in section 4.

Cart numbers indicate which electrocardiograph transmitted a particular ECG. Site Number This option identifies the site of your CP 20. Site numbers designate the hospital, clinic, or institution for ECG records stored in Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation and must be defined for transmitting ECGs. You can use up to four digits for the site number, numbers from 0 –9999 are supported.

AC Filter The CP 20 removes 60Hz or 50Hz interference. The setting you select depends on the line frequency in your country. Always use the 60Hz setting in the United States. If the AC interference is present, check to see that the proper AC filter is selected.
Page 35
CP 20_______________________________________________________________________Section 3 ID Format This option defines the format for the patient ID information prompts. There are four available formats: short, standard, long, and long2. The short format includes the patient's last name and first name, patient ID number, date of birth (which will automatically calculate the age) and gender field.
Page 36
Interpretation Option The CP 20 automatically analyzes ECGs and prints the optional interpretation on the ECG printout. This option allows you to select or suppress the “interpretive” text on the ECG report. Interpretive statement text can be retrieved from memory if the interpretation option is disabled when the ECG is acquired and later enable.
Auto Save ECG This option defines whether or not the CP 20 is to automatically save newly acquired ECGs in the directory, once they are acquired and printed. If the auto save configuration option is set to OFF, and the record is printed, the CP 20 will prompt you to “Save ECG?”...
NOTE: If the ECG is not printed you will be prompted to save. Auto Print ECG This option defines whether or not the CP 20 will automatically print the ECG after acquisition. If the selected configuration option is set to OFF, a manual printout is possible after acquisition.
IP Address Define the fixed IP address used by the CP 20 for network transmission. (If DHCP is not selected) Def Gateway Enter the address of the default gateway. (If DHCP is not selected)
In this way, only devices with the proper WEP will be able to login. The CP 20 adopts the 128-bit encryption. Access Points can have multiple WEP IDs stored. Each one of them is identified by a number (0, 1, 2, 3)

CP 20_________________________________________________________________Section 4 Patient Demographics You may enter patient demographic information before acquisition. The entered patient ID fields will remain populated until you acquire the ECG. However, when you disconnect the leads from the patient, turn off the cardiograph, or change a configuration setting before acquisition, the entered patient demographic information will be cleared for you to enter the demographics of your next patient.
(one at a time). This is to alert the operator of a lead fail condition. The screen display "LEAD V2 OFF" identifies a lead fail V2 chest lead. When the problem is corrected, the CP 20 waits for 10 seconds of good data before analyzing the ECG.
CP 20_________________________________________________________________Section 4 Please note that the default Real-Time ECG View (as pictured below) is not available in the Acquired ECG View for navigation purposes. Real-Time ECG View Acquired ECG View Note: new softkey labels are available in the Acquired ECG View. Note: functions are not available during acquisition.
CP 20_________________________________________________________________Section 4 Storage The CP 20 manages storage in one of two ways – automatically or manually. When the Auto Save configuration option is enabled, ECGs are automatically saved upon acquisition and printing. However, when the Auto Save configuration option is disabled, upon completion of acquisition, a prompt is presented as follows and saving the ECG record is at the user’s discretion.

CP 20_______________________________________________________________________Section 5 Print Configuration In order to verify the cardiograph’s configuration settings, a printout of the unit’s configuration is possible from the Application menu by selecting Print Configuration (5). The configuration printout obtains every configuration setting for the specific cardiograph, the firmware version, the cart number of the unit, and the date and time that the configuration printout occurred.
Wireless LAN Configuration Transmitting Records You may transmit ECGs from the CP 20 to the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation using a direct connection or either an optional factory installed internal modem or WLAN card. Before transmitting ECGs to the CardioPerfect workstation, the site number must be defined as well as the telephone number in the configuration.
