Confirm and Learn Alarm Behavior in the Inservice Mode
To confirm that a Propaq monitor is properly generating patient alarms and to learn the
alarm behavior of the Propaq Encore monitor, perform the following steps.
1. Disconnect all patient cables from the Propaq monitor.
2. To temporarily remove customized alarm settings, press the MAIN MENU key, then
SETUP, MORE, CHANGE, SETUP, USE NOW, YES.
3. To put the Propaq monitor in (non-alarming) Inservice Mode 1, press MAIN MENU,
SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.
4. To set the Propaq monitor in (alarming) Inservice Mode 2, press MAIN MENU,
SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.
Within 3-5 seconds, the monitor will alarm because the “patient’s” vital signs fall
outside of the alarm limit ranges.
5. Confirm the following:
The monitor is sounding an alarm
A vital sign numeric is flashing
The small red light in the top right corner of the monitor is flashing
The SILENCE and LIMITS keys are showing on the screen
6. To silence the alarm tone for 90 seconds, press or SILENCE.
Visual alarm indications remain, and the alarm tone resets after the 90-second silence
period.
7. To bring the Propaq monitor back into the (non-alarming) Inservice Mode 1, press
INSERV.
The “patient’s” vital sign readings will return to acceptable levels within the alarm
limit range.
8. Turn off the Propaq monitor.
Any previously set custom patient mode settings are restored when you turn it on
again.
Under these conditions, if the monitor fails to generate visual or auditory alarm
indications, carefully repeat the above steps. If the monitor is still unresponsive, remove it
from circulation and take it to your facility’s biomedical service department for evaluation.
