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.

ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver
overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis
is intended for use on adults (> 18 years of age).
