Temperature Monitoring
The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal,
esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set
by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Monitoring
The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor pulse rate and oxygen saturation of arteriolar
hemoglobin, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user.
Measurements are made non-invasively at remote sites such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, bridge of
nose, etc. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Respiration Monitoring
The Propaq MD is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the
rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually
measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as
obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The
patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
CO
2
Monitoring
The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and
monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate.
The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Invasive Pressure Monitoring
The Propaq MD is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure
measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial
blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contra-
indications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population
will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
