Propaq Encore Reference Guide

When you press

MORE

in the first ECG/RESP Menu, a status window appears showing you

the current ECG/RESP settings and additional selections.

The Size function “increases” or “decreases” the ECG or RESP waveform size. Each time you
press a

SIZE

button, the waveform approximately doubles in height. When you reach the

largest waveform size, the next press displays the smallest size.

Impedance Pneumography Selections

If your Propaq Encore includes the Impedance Pneumography Option, the following
selections are also available.

HR/PR TONE

Sets the heart tone loudness to LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or OFF.
If SpO2 is monitored, the pitch of the tone varies with the SpO2 value.

PACER DISPLAY

Turns on and off the pacer indicator in the ECG waveform.

ECG

BANDWIDTH

This selection allows you to determine the bandwidth for the data sent
to the display and the printer. If the selection is Extended, the
bandwidth is 0.05-40 Hz. If the selection is Monitor, the bandwidth is
0.5-40 Hz.

The QRS detector sensitivity threshold is not affected by changing the ECG
display size. Likewise, the RESP breath detector threshold is not affected by
changing the RESP display size.

RESP LEAD

Selects the RESP lead. Choices are RA-LA and RA-LL, and choice is
independent of ECG lead selection. Experiment with placement for best
signals.

RESP

Turns impedance pneumography (RESP channel) on or off.
