13 - Preparing the ABPM 7100
Activating the device
Attention
Damage to device
Do not wear the ABPM 7100 while showering. If you suspect that liquid has entered the device while
•
cleaning or using it, the device shall no longer be used on the patient.
In the device was exposed to moisture, switch off the device and remove the batteries.
•
Inform your service immediately and send the device in for inspection.
•
The device may not be operated around MRI scanners or in the immediate vicinity of other medical
•
electrical equipment.
During a defibrillator discharge, the device shall not be in contact with the patient. Such a discharge
•
may damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.
The ABPM 7100 is not suitable for simultaneous use with HF surgical equipment.
•
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and
•
the device can be removed.
Attention
Hygiene
• Ensure hygiene in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
Always check the condition of the ABPM 7100 by observing the initial display shown on the device shortly
after turning it on and before handing it to a patient. The ABPM 7100 performs a self-test. In addition, a beep
sounds to check the speaker. The following should be displayed in this sequence:

(At least 2.6 volts for NiMH batteries and at least 3.10 volts for alkaline
batteries)
The display of the figures (999:999 to 000:000) is accompanied by all

other symbols of the LCD in succession. Check whether all segments

If the internal test detects an error, the ABPM 7100 will indicate "E004" on the display and emit an audible
signal. For safety reasons, the use of the ABPM 7100 will be locked. The faulty ABPM 7100 unit should be
send back immediately for repairs to your dealer or to Welch Allyn.
Setting the time / date
The ABPM 7100 has an internal buffer battery allowing the time to continue even if the batteries have been
removed. Nevertheless the time and the date should be checked before every measurement series.
The time and date can be set automatically with the patient management software.
Alternatively the time and date can be set manually. Press and hold the START button and then press the
EVENT buttons to enter the Set Time mode. Use the START button to select the appropriate item and use
the EVENT button to jump to the next display item.
Clearing the memory
The device memory must be cleared before every measurement series, i.e. blood pressure data form the
previous patient must not remain in the memory.
If there are existing data, the memory can be cleared with the delete function of the analysis software.
Alternatively the data can be cleared manually. Press and hold the START button for a minimum of 5
seconds until "cLr" is displayed. Within the next 5 seconds press and hold the EVENT button for at least 2
seconds to confirm the deletion of the stored measurements. The device emits a single beep to indicate that
the memory is cleared.
Transferring patient data (ID)
The ABPM 7100 must be prepared by transferring patient data (ID) with the help of the patient management
software, so that correct data allocation is possible when it is read out after measurement. Please refer to the
respective patient management software manual for how to transfer patient data (ID) to the ABPM 7100.
Setting measurement logs
In the patient management software you can optionally choose between eleven (1-11) logs. A log serves to
set the measurement intervals. As soon as you have conducted a measurement, the log can only be
changed once you have fully deleted all data.
Manual log settings
For manual log setting, press and hold the DAY/NIGHT button while simultaneously pressing the EVENT
button. Use the START button to change the log and confirm with the EVENT button.

Setting the logs via software
To set the logs via software please refer to the respective patient management software manual.
Note
Logs 1, 2, 10 and 11 are set by default but can be changed via the patient management
•
software.
Log 5 is suitable for nighttime activities (night shift).
•
Log 9 is designated as "Schellong-Test".
•
Log 10 automatically sends the measurement values to your doctor's PC via Bluetooth®.
•
Bluetooth® communication is not supported with the CPWS software.
Log 11 is only available to upgraded ABPM 7100 systems in connection with HMS from
•
version 5.0. Blood pressure measurement intervals and the 24h PWA can be set
separately here. Please contact Welch Allyn for further information.
