26.
To prevent emission of substances that may damage the environment, dispose of the device, its components and
accessories (e.g., batteries, cables, electrodes), and/or packing materials that are past the shelf life in accordance
with local regulations.
27.
When necessary, dispose of the device, its components and accessories (e.g., batteries, cables, electrodes),
and/or packing materials in accordance with local regulations.
28.
Proper functioning backup items such as a spare patient cable, display monitor, and other equipment are
recommended on hand to prevent delayed treatment due to an inoperable device.
Caution
1.
Do not pull or stretch patient cables as this could result in mechanical and/or electrical failures. Patient cables
should be stored after forming them into a loose loop.
2.
Proper functioning backup items such as a spare patient cable, front-end device, display monitor, and other
equipment are recommended on hand to prevent delayed treatment due to an inoperable device.
3.
Windows compatibility, updates and anti-virus policy: The RScribe™ software has been fully tested with
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1 Professional, and Windows 10 Pro operating systems.
The RScribe software has also been tested with Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server
2012 R2. Although it is unlikely that Windows updates and security patches affect RScribe functionality,
Welch Allyn recommends turning automatic Windows update off, and periodically running it manually. A
functional test should be executed after update, which includes acquiring a recording, editing measurements and
printing a report, as well as importing an order and exporting results, if activated. Compatibility of RScribe
with corporate anti-virus software packages has been evaluated. Welch Allyn recommends excluding the
RScribe database folder (Normally C:\ProgramData\MiPgSqlData on a stand-alone system or the server) from
the folders to be scanned. In addition, anti-virus patch updates and system scans should be scheduled for time
periods when the system is not actively in use or performed manually.
4.
No other non-recommended PC application software should be running while the RScribe application is being
used.
5.
It is recommended that all resting ECG workstations and review stations be periodically updated with Microsoft
critical and security updates to protect from malware attacks and to fix critical Microsoft software issues.
6.
To prevent delivery of malware into the system Welch Allyn recommends that institution operating procedures
are written to prevent malware to be transmitted into the system from removable media.
7.
The WAM will only work with receiving devices that are equipped with the appropriate option.
8.
This WAM is not recommended for use in the presence of imaging equipment such as Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) devices, etc.
9.
The following equipment may cause interference with the WAM RF channel: microwave ovens, diathermy units
with LANs (spread spectrum), amateur radios, and government radar.
10.
AA batteries are known to leak their contents when stored in unused equipment. Remove battery from WAM
when not used for an extended period of time.
