In this video, I want to give a just a quick overview of the Welch Allyn, the
different components of it, different ports and just basic user interface
stuff. So Welch Allyn itself is it here it also comes with a power supply looks
like this on the back. Here you'll have the battery compartment. To get to the
battery you'll need to have a Phillips head screw driver, take those top screws
out and there you have your lithium ion battery with a connecting port down
there. It's a fairly standard lithium ion battery with a ferrite choke. You just
want to make sure that you plug this in. It can only go in one direction, so when
you plug it in you won't have the key match up with that hole over there.
This also acts as a latch so when you take it out you need to squeeze the
top of it and pull it out.
On the back here you have the various ports for the device. You have your power
port there,Ethernet at the SP02 sensor or connect there and you have the blood
pressure cuff that will connect there. You also have two different USB ports on
the back. Here you would have the mounting points for a bracket that would
hold it on to a pole. I currently don't have one of those but this is where it
would attach to. To power the device on really all that you need is just the
power cable and you just put it in, match up the arrows and just kind of see the
arrow on the top of this power port here. Just match it up with the arrow on top
of this plug and it'll snap in. And from there it should, probably plug it in
first in, you see the power supply will light up and then this will light up as
well to show that it's receiving power. If it has a an orange light that means
that it's charging. If it's solid green that means that it's been charged, it's
just running off wall power. So I turn it on, just press it and hold the power
button. You'll see this light flash a couple times and then the screen will
update. [long silent pause]
It does take a little while to start up and these are generally not devices that are
shut down, are usually left on all the time and let's sort of what they're
designed to do so they're not really the fastest thing to start up in the world.
So you can see here that there are, this is the main interface, you can see that up
here at the top it's already showing that it's complaining a little bit
because we don't have the temperature probe as well. And the temperature probe
by the way would connect down here and would sit inside of this device here and
you'd have the plastic shields in this holder right there.
So you can see it's doesn't have a temperature probe, doesn't have Ethernet
or internet or anything like that. The main controls down here you have for a
patient where you would enter in patient information that would be, that could be
sent to a database, you have the review which will give you a listing of all of
the patients and their measurements that you could then send to a database. You
have your main settings page where a lot of typical stuff is in here you can set the
date and time. If you have an Active Directory setup you can log in as a
clinician, I'll see advanced settings as well where you do your network in, if I
go back to home here you'd have the main controls or you could start reading. You
can start at a pressure check and you would see a all the other information
here. To shut the unit down, just hold the power button down and you'll see this
menu come up and you can either do sleep or you can do power down. Power down,
it'll show a green screen like this and then it'll turn off entirely.
And that's it, that's the basics od, just a general overview of the
device and how it operates.
