Propaq Encore Reference Guide

If artifact is so severe while Smartcuf is enabled that it affects the accuracy of an NIBP
measurement, that measurement is marked with a special symbol on the display and on
printouts

There may be some situations where it is desirable to disable Smartcuf. This may include
situations with very extreme motion artifact, certain types of arrhythmias, or other situations
where it is not possible to obtain a good ECG signal. NIBP measurements can still be
performed when Smartcuf is disabled.

To disable Smartcuf, from the Main Menu press

NIBP

to display the NIBP Menu and set

Smartcuf to OFF.

NIBP Connector and Cuffs

Use Propaqs with approved hoses and cuffs listed in the Welch Allyn Products and Accessories
booklet. The Propaq Encore uses a single-hose cuff. Cuffs that conform to AAMI or AHA
guidelines should be used. Select the proper size of cuff based on the limb circumference.
