Equipment Alert Display
When a problem with the Propaq M unit or an attached sensor triggers an alert, in addition to
sounding an equipment alert, the Propaq M unit displays an alert message (yellow background,
black text).
Warning! Always respond immediately to a system alarm since the patient may not be monitored
during certain alert conditions.
In the following example, an equipment alert message indicates that the SpO
2
sensor has
become unattached ( SpO2 Check Sensor ) from the unit:
Responding to Active Alarms -- Silencing the Alarm
When a patient alarm is triggered and the alarm tone sounds
1. Check the patient and provide appropriate care.
2. Press the Alarm Silence/Reset button ( ) on the Propaq M unit’s front panel to silence the
alarm briefly (90 seconds).
3. After caring for the patient, check that the appropriate alarms are set (for more information
about setting and enabling alarms, see appropriate monitoring chapters later in this manual).
Note: Pressing suspends the alarm tone for all active alarms. If the patient’s vital signs
measurements trigger another, different alarm, the Patient Alarm tone will sound, even
if the first alarm silence period hasn’t expired.
