USER SAFETY INFORMATION
14
• The device is a member of the ELI 1xx or ELI 2xx Series 2 electrocardiograph family.
Wireless Data Transmission
• Some Welch Allyn electrocardiographs can be equipped with an optional wireless data transmission
module (WLAN or GPRS mobile). Both these technologies use 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 RF signals may propagate better and allow successful transmissions.
