Error Message Window. The window that appears when the monitor detects a
malfunction requiring factory service. This window contains error messages and
numbers.
Error Number. The number that identifies a problem encountered during operation.
ESD. An acronym for Electrostatic Discharge (from static electricity).
ESIS. An acronym for Electrosurgery Interference Suppression.
ETCO
2
. An acronym for end-tidal CO
2
. Amount of CO
2
breathed out at the end of an
exhalation.
Factory Default Settings. The current values for all Propaq Encore settable functions
when the monitor was shipped from the factory.
Freeze. The action taken by the FREEZE button to stop the display. If three waveforms are
displayed, all waveforms are frozen. If less than three waveforms are displayed, the
current waveforms are frozen and the top waveform is also shown in real-time. See
also Unfreeze.
Gas Compensation. A correction factor required to obtain accurate CO
2
readings when
elevated levels of O
2
or N
2
O are present in respired gases.
Heart Rate Source. See Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source.
Heart Rate/Pulse Rate. The heart rate derived from the heart rate/pulse rate source and
expressed in units per minute or 1/min. See also Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source.
Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source. The source from which heart rate/pulse rate is derived.
This source can be ECG, any pressure, including NIBP, or SpO
2
. When the monitor is
first turned on, the Propaq Encore determines the most likely source for heart rate:
ECG (first), P1 (second), SpO
2
(third), P2 (fourth), and NIBP (last).
Highlight. The method of identifying a selected item on the display. Highlighted
selections appear as light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a
light background. See also Cursor.
HR. An acronym for heart rate and expressed in units per minute or 1/min. This is
displayed when the heart rate/pulse rate source is ECG.
ICP. Intracranial pressure (label for an invasive blood pressure channel).
Impedance Pneumography. A method of detecting respiratory effort by measuring the
AC impedance between selected ECG leads.
INCO
2
. An acronym for inspired CO
2
. The amount of CO
2
measured during inhalation.
