Setup
Blood Pressure Hose and Cuff Connections
Have available the Spot Vital Signs, blood pressure cuff, and blood pressure hose.
1. Inspect the pressure hose; note that one end has a connector fitting and the other
end does not. Attach the end without the connector fitting to the pressure hose
connector (see page 16). Verify that the pressure hose is completely inserted over the
connector and that the fit is snug.
2. Join the other end of the pressure hose to the blood pressure cuff pneumatic tubing.
Twist the connectors together until finger-tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Temperature Probe Connection
The Welch Allyn Spot Vital Signs is available with two probes — one for oral/axillary
temperatures (blue cap), and one for rectal temperatures (red cap). The rectal probe is an
accessory item that is ordered separately.
Press down on the tab on top of the connector and insert the connector into the
temperature probe connector port on the back of the Spot Vital Signs. The probe
connector only fits into Spot Vital Signs one way. Verify the connector clicks into place.
Insert the temperature probe into the probe holder on the top of the Spot Vital Signs.
To remove the temperature probe, press down on the connector tab and lift out.

2
cable connection port on the top side of the Spot Vital Signs device.
2. Push the connector firmly into the SpO
