102 Technical Overview Welch Allyn Propaq Encore Vital Signs Monitor
Monitoring Electronics System
The monitoring electronics reside on the Analog and Digital boards located in the front
chassis assembly.
These circuits
• acquire the physiological signals from coupling devices (electrodes, transducers,
and probes)
• convert the analog signal to digital data
• process the data for display and alarm monitoring
• display the data and any alarm conditions
• transmits the analog ECG signal across the isolation barrier for real-time analog
ECG output
Isolation barriers on the Analog and Digital boards isolate the circuits connected to the
patient from circuits connected to other devices including the monitor’s power input.
Communications and power delivery across the isolation barrier are achieved using opto-
couplers and a transformer rated for medical applications.
Microcontrollers (Cs) control patient data processing, alarm monitoring and display.
