OPERATION

SECTION 2

Opening Battery Cover

The bottom cover seals the battery compartment, makes contact with the battery to power up the device, and locks in

place. Removal of the battery cover will automatically turn the power off.

NOTE: The device On/Off button can also be used to power off the device.

To remove the battery cover, twist the cover in a counterclockwise direction.

Figure 2-1

Battery Installation

The battery compartment is accessible on the bottom side area of the WAM.

Insert one AA battery into the battery compartment. Align the positive (+) and negative (-) indicators of the battery

with the designators shown on the device’s back label.

Attaching the Patient Lead Wires

The patient lead wires consist of two connector blocks with 5 lead wires in each block. The lead wires are

positioned on the cable to follow the contour of the torso. Each lead wire terminates in a Medi-clip or 4 mm Banana

connector.

Securely insert the connector block into the ECG input connector on the top of the WAM.

NOTE: Be careful to insert the connector block into the appropriate input connector.

SECTION 2 Turning the WAM On The WAM will power up as soon as a battery has been inserted into the battery compartment and the cover applied. If the WAM was turned off after its last use, the user can power the WAM on by pressing the On /Off button on the front side of the cable yoke: Turning the WAM Off The user has two options to power the WAM off: 1. Remove the battery cover, or 2. Press the On/Off button a. b.

SECTION 2 Patient ECG Hookup Skin Preparation Skin preparation is important to perform before electrode attachment to help ensure good signal quality when transmitting patient data. Poor skin-electrode contact may cause noise or artifact which can affect the analysis of the ECG data. Low amplitude signals may also be the result of poor skin-electrode contact. To prepare the skin Identify the electrode sites on the torso by referring to Positioning the Electrodes.

SECTION 2 LED Display Battery Voltage Indicator The WAM is powered with a single AA battery. When the battery contains sufficient voltage and the patient is connected, the LED’s on the front of the WAM will display a solid Green LED representing the current battery voltage is sufficient to operate and communicate with ELI 350. If a battery with low voltage is inserted and the LED does not illuminate, or a Yellow LED is present a new battery must be installed.

SECTION 2 Starting an ECG Acquisition Session 1. Ensure an AA battery is in the battery compartment (see note below). 2. Press On/Off button to turn the WAM on. 3. Connect the patient to the lead wires of the WAM. 4. Use LED LEAD CHECK to check the electrode-to skin impedances and verify patient hookup quality as explained in this section. 5. Use LED to assure communication has been established with the electrocardiograph and signal quality of each ECG is transmitted as expected. 6.
