Improving the waveform display
If the power source filter is off, noise from the power source can cause an unclear or
noisy waveform.
To change the power source filter to reduce noise
1. Access the Setup menu. (See “To access the setup menus” on page 37.)
2. Highlight ECG.
Verify that the setting for Power source filter is correct for the power source in your
facility. If you do not know what this setting should be, consult a qualified service
person.
3. Highlight Power source filter and press or as needed to select 60 Hz, 50 Hz,
or Off.

4. Exit the Setup menu by pressing or .
Monitoring respiration
Resp is based on impedance pneumography, where respirations are sensed from the
ECG electrodes.
Resp is part of ECG monitoring. The Resp numeric is displayed (in purple) in the lower
right corner. To view the Resp waveform:
Change the waveform source to Resp. (See “To change the waveform selection” on
page 55.)

Note All ECG cables listed for the Propaq LT monitor in the accessory list or at
www.welchallyn.com permit respiration monitoring and electrosurgical
interference suppression.
Note To measure Resp with Lead II selected, the LL lead must be attached to the
patient.
WARNING Use of respiration monitoring by impedance pneumography can
affect the operation of some pacemakers. If pacemaker operation is affected, turn
off respiration pneumography. (See
Figure 63 on page 57.)
