CONNECTIVITY AND ECG TRANSMISSION
APPENDIX A
ECG Transmission
You may transmit ECGs to ELI Link, or to a third party EMR using an optional factory installed internal modem,
LAN, WLAN, or optional integrated GPRS mobile connection (GPRS option applies to ELI 150c only): all the
mentioned transmission modes can use the Welch Allyn UNIPRO or DICOM communication protocol.
NOTE: Units ship by default with Comm Protocol set to UNIPRO. The UNIPRO setting is not supported
by E-Scribe versions prior to V8.10 or ELI Link versions prior to V3.10. For questions about compatibility
of your device with E-Scribe or ELI Link and UNIPRO, contact Welch Allyn Technical Support.
Before transmitting ECGs, certain configuration options must be set in system settings depending
upon the transmission media used and the electronic storage media you are transmitting to (see
Section 4).
NOTE: Telephone transmission is available with internal modem only.
NOTE: In order to properly connect to telephone lines, the device’s internal modem needs to be set on
the proper country code. This is an internal setting and should not be confused with International
calling codes.
The WLAN performance of the device may vary due to changes in RF (radio frequency) properties at your site or
to environmental conditions. If you are experiencing intermittent connectivity in certain areas of your facility, it
may be necessary to re-initiate the transmission process. You can also consult your hospital IT department or
your Welch Allyn technical service representative regarding modification of your WLAN to improve system
performance.
To transmit records, select SYNC. To stop transmissions, use the STOP key.
To transmit one ECG, select F2 (Selec) to choose a record from the patient directory. Use F1 ( ▼ / ▲ ) to
navigate by line down the directory list; use
• (Shift), F1 ( ▼ / ▲ ) to move up. Similarly, use F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to
page down the directory list; use
• (Shift), F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page up. To quickly select a patient name, use
the keyboard to enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters will be displayed in the lower left corner
of the display screen and the desired name will automatically be highlighted. When the desired record is
highlighted, use
F3 (Sync) to transmit the individual ECG.
To batch transmit all records in the directory, select F1 (Batch). In a batch transmission, only those records
which have not been previously transmitted or marked for deletion will be transmitted. After the transmission of
your record(s), the real-time ECG view is displayed
