Prepare the Propaq
For a New Patient (Not Yet Monitored)
1. Turn the Propaq power off and then on to clear any trend values or alarm limit
settings stored for a previous patient.
Warning
Before you use a Propaq on a new patient, always turn off the Propaq for a few
seconds, then turn it on again. This clears the prior patient’s trends and alarm limit
settings.
For a Patient Who Has Already Been Monitored
1. To save this patient’s trend values and alarm limit settings, keep the Propaq
power on. When you connect to Acuity, the Propaq transfers up to five hours of
trend information to Acuity.
Connect Patient Sensors and Cables
At the Propaq
1. Look carefully at all the cords and cables, especially near the connectors.
Replace any cord or cable that is broken, torn, or damaged.
2. Attach Propaq or Propaq telemetry paq sensors to the patient as described in
the
Propaq CS Directions for Use, Propaq Encore Reference Guide , Propaq Reference
Guide, Protocol Cordless Reference Guide, or Acuity System Reference Guide.
3. If not already connected, plug the large connector of the Modem-Propaq Cable
into the modem as shown on page 9. Make sure the two connector screws are
tight (tighten with a screwdriver if necessary).
4. Plug the modem power adapter into the modem and electrical power outlet as
shown.
