Safety Information
The Welch Allyn Atlas Monitor is intended for use in a hospital or clinical environment. It should not
be used at home or in emergency transport vehicles. Monitor users should be skilled at the level of a
technician, nurse, doctor or medical specialist.
The function of the Welch Allyn Atlas Monitor is to register ECG, CO2 concentration, Heart Rate,
Noninvasive Blood Pressure (Systolic, Diastolic, and Mean Arterial Pressure), Pulse Oximetry,
Respiration Rate and Temperature for adult and pediatric patients (over the age of 3 years), in all hospital
or clinic facilities.
To ensure patient electrical isolation, the Atlas Monitor should only be connected to other equipment
that provides patient electrical isolation. When connecting the Welch Allyn Atlas Monitor to any
instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Accessory equipment connected to the monitor’s
serial data interface must be certified according to IEC Standard 950 for data-processing equipment or
IEC Standard 60601-1 for electromedical equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in
compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1 systems requirements. Anyone who connects additional
equipment to the signal input / output port is configuring a medical system and is therefore responsible
that the system comply with the requirements of IEC Standard 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the Welch
Allyn Technical Service Department.
The Welch Allyn Atlas Monitor and its accessories should be tested by qualified service personnel at
regular intervals to verify proper operation, according to the procedures of the user’s institution. A
Service Manual is available from the manufacturer. Other important safety information is located
throughout this manual where appropriate.
