Propaq
®
MD unit is an easy-to-use portable defibrillator that combines
defibrillation and external pacing with the following monitoring capabilities: ECG, Pulse
Oximeter, Non-invasive Blood Pressure, IBP, CO2, Temperature, and Respiration. It has been
designed for all resuscitation situations and its rugged, compact, lightweight design makes it
ideal for transport situations. It is powered by auxiliary power and an easily replaced battery
pack that is quickly recharged in the device when it is connected to auxiliary power. In addition,
the unit’s battery may be recharged and tested using a ZOLL SurePower™ Battery Charger
Station.
Note: The Propaq MD has defibrillation and pacing functionality, but some of the monitoring
functions are optional features. See the complete list of options in Fig. 1-1. Optional
features are specified as “optional” within this guide.
The unit has a large colorful LCD display of numerics and waveform data that provides easy
visibility from across the room and at any angle. ECG, plethysmograph, and respiration
waveform traces can be displayed simultaneously, giving easy access to all patient monitoring
data at once. The display screen is configurable, so you can choose the best visual layout to fit
your monitoring needs. The Propaq MD includes a transcutaneous pacemaker consisting of a
pulse generator and ECG sensing circuitry. Pacing supports both demand and fixed noninvasive
pacing for adult patients and adolescent, child, and infant pediatric patients.
The Propaq MD has a patient data review and collection system that allows you to view, store,
and transfer patient data. The Propaq MD unit contains a printer and USB port, which you can
use to print the data and transfer it to a PC.
