Learning the Propaq Encore
Using In-Service Mode
You can practice using the Propaq Encore without a patient simulator by using the Propaq's
in-service mode of operation. The in-service mode cannot be activated while you are
monitoring a patient. The message “SIMULATING” alternates with the time of day and
patient mode on the display.
To begin practicing with your Propaq, disconnect all patient cables connected to the monitor.
Leave the cuff connected so you can take NIBP measurements. If you have been monitoring a
patient, turn off the Propaq Encore and turn it back on. From the Main Menu, press
SETUP ,
WAVE SEL , INSERV .
The Propaq Encore has two sets of simulated patient information—an initial set and an
alternate set. To change between them, press the
INSERV
button again.
If you connect a patient cable or set the NIBP channel to automatically take pressure
measurements, the Propaq Encore stops simulating, goes through its powerup tests, and
erases any simulated trend data it might have stored.
What You Can Do With In-Service Mode
While using the in-service mode, you can press any of the Propaq Encore buttons, except for
the
AUTO/MAN
button in the NIBP Menu, to change a function setting. You can also:
• change the ECG and RESP waveform sizes
• set alarm limits and cancel alarms
• STAT SET alarms
• customize the Propaq Encore settings
• change from ° F to ° C
• simulate invasive-pressure zeroing
