Intended Use
Propaq Encore monitors provide two temperature channels (except for the HP-side panel
option). When both channels are active, the difference temperature (
∆T) is also displayed.
You can select °C or °F.
Temperature Connectors and Probes
Propaqs are intended to be used with approved temperature probes listed in the Welch Allyn
Products and Accessories booklet. Other temperature probes that do not match the
performance specifications of these approved probes may produce incorrect temperature
readings.

side panel. Within a few seconds, the Propaq Encore will display the temperature.

How Temperature is Displayed
Temperature is displayed as a numeric only, in a window at the top of the Propaq Encore
screen, in °C or °F. This area displays all temperature measurements (T1, T2,
∆T), one at a
time.

come in contact with conductive objects or clinical personnel during
electrocautery may cause burns at the patient-probe/electrode contact points.
